13 unsigned int denum_len, const void *denum,
14 int type);

17 This function creates and initializes a digital linear filter whose the
18 Z-transform is rational and processing nchann channels of a data type
19 specified by proctype.
20
21 The numerator and denominator of the rational expression are specified
22 by respectively two arrays num and denum containing the coefficients in
23 the ascending order of the 2 polynoms. The number of elements in each
24 arrays is controlled by num_len and enum_len. denum_len is allowed to
25 be equal to zero as well as denum is allowed to be NULL. In such case,
26 the denominator will be set to 1. The data type of the values in num
27 and denum are specified by type.
28
29 The proctype and type must be one the following constants:
30
31 RTF_FLOAT specifies real single precision (float)
32
33 RTF_DOUBLE specifies real double precision (double)
34
35 RTF_CFLOAT specifies complex single precision (complex float)
36
37 RTF_CDOUBLE specifies complex double precision (complex double)
38
39 The expected data type of the output of the filter has the same preci‐
40 sion as the one specified by proctype and is complex proctype or type
41 specifies a complex type. Said otherwise:
42
43 * If proctype is RTF_FLOAT or RTF_CFLOAT then the output data type
44 will have single precision. Otherwise it will have double precision.
45
46 * If proctype or type specifies a complex type, then the output will
47 be complex as well. Otherwise, it will be real.
48
49 rtf_create_filter() can be used to use a filter that has been designed
50 somewhere else. In particular, this function can be used directly with
51 the output of filter design function of MATLAB. In such case, the usual
52 B and A arrays returned by the filter design functions corresponds
53 exactly to respectively num and denum.
54
56 Returns the handle to the created filter in case of success, NULL oth‐
57 erwise.
