BartlettWindow

BartlettWindow[x]

represents a Bartlett window function of x.

Details

  • BartlettWindow, also known as the triangular window, is a window function typically used for antialiasing and resampling.
  • Window functions are used in applications where data is processed in short segments and have a smoothing effect by gradually tapering data values to zero at the ends of each segment.
  • BartlettWindow[x] is equal to  1-2 x 0<=x<=1/2; 1+2 x -1/2<=x<0; 0 TemplateBox[{x}, Abs]>1/2; .
  • BartlettWindow automatically threads over lists.
