ex10_window_functions

This example compares all 53 unique BLEND window implementations through the two-dimensional merging weights generated by merge2d. The results are split between two figures. Every panel uses the same primary support, output domain, grid spacing, and symmetric taper ratio, so only the window function changes.

The primary occupies -R15/85/15/85 inside the full -R0/100/0/100 output domain. Each mergefile uses the form:

primary secondary - function/function 0.49
secondary - - - -

Using the same function in x and y produces a separable two-dimensional weight. The taper ratio of 0.49 leaves only a small full-weight region and makes differences between the edge profiles easier to see. The dashed orange square marks the primary support.

The first figure includes:

Several additional BLEND names are aliases. For example, hann and tukey select the cosine implementation, linear selects trapezoid, and barthann selects Bartlett-Hann.

Run:

./ex10_window_functions.sh

The script verifies that every weight grid contains no missing nodes and stays within the interval from zero to one. It creates ex10_window_functions.png, ex10_window_functions.pdf, ex10_window_functions_remaining.png, and ex10_window_functions_remaining.pdf.
