smooth

tayph.smooth(fx, w, mode='box', edge_degree=1)

This function takes a spectrum, and blurs it using either a Gaussian kernel or a box kernel, which have a FWHM width of w px everywhere. Meaning that the width changes dynamically on a constant d-lambda grid. Set the mode to gaussian or box. Because in box, care is taken to correctly interpolate the edges, it is about twice slower than the Gaussian. This interpolation is done manually in the fun.box function.

This function assumes that there are no NaN values in the flux array, but doesn’t presently test for this.
