significantly different in size. Notes ----- By default, `convolve` and `correlate` use ``method='auto'``, which calls `choose_conv_method` to choose the fastest method using pre-computed values (`choose_conv_method` can also measure real-world timing with a keyword argument). Because `fftconvolve` relies on floating point numbers, there are certain constraints that may force ``method='direct'`` (more detail in `choose_conv_method` docstring). Examples -------- Smooth a square pulse using a Hann window: >>> import numpy as np >>> from scipy import signal >>> sig = np.repeat([0., 1., 0.], 100) >>> win = signal.windows.hann(50) >>> filtered = signal.convolve(sig, win, mode='same') / sum(win) >>> import matplotlib.pyplot as plt >>> fig, (ax_orig, ax_win, ax_filt) = plt.subplots(3, 1, sharex=True) >>> ax_orig.plot(sig) >>> ax_orig.set_title('Original pulse') >>> ax_orig.margins(0, 0.1) >>> ax_win.plot(win) >>> ax_win.set_title('Filter impulse response') >>> ax_win.margins(0, 0.1) >>> ax_filt.plot(filtered) >>> ax_filt.set_title('Filtered signal') >>> ax_filt.margins(0, 0.1) >>> fig.tight_layout() >>> fig.show() r
