// Simple FFT
let signal = vec![1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0];
let planner = FftPlanner::new(4, false)?;
let spectrum = planner.process_real(&signal)?;
// STFT with spectrogram
let config = OverlapConfig::overlap_75(1024);
let processor = StftProcessor::new(config, WindowType::Hann)?;
let spectrogram = processor.process(&signal, 16384.0)?;
```
### As a CLI Tool
```bash
# Install
cargo install avila-fft
# Generate test signal

## 📖 Examples
### Basic FFT
```rust
use avila_fft::*;
// Create a simple sine wave
let signal: Vec<f64> = (0..1024)
.map(|i| (2.0 * std::f64::consts::PI * 10.0 * i as f64 / 1024.0).sin())
.collect();
// FFT
let planner = FftPlanner::new(1024, false)?;
let spectrum = planner.process_real(&signal)?;
// Find peak frequency
.enumerate()
.max_by(|(_, a), (_, b)| a.partial_cmp(b).unwrap())
.map(|(i, _)| i)
.unwrap();
let peak_freq = peak_bin as f64 * sample_rate / 1024.0;
println!("Peak frequency: {:.1} Hz", peak_freq); // ~10 Hz
```
### STFT Spectrogram
```rust
use avila_fft::timefreq::*;
// Generate chirp signal
let sample_rate = 16384.0;
let duration = 2.0;
let signal: Vec<f64> = (0..(sample_rate * duration) as usize)
.map(|i| {
let t = i as f64 / sample_rate;
let freq = 100.0 + 500.0 * t / duration; // 100 to 600 Hz
(2.0 * std::f64::consts::PI * freq * t).sin()
})
.collect();
// STFT
let config = OverlapConfig::overlap_75(1024);
let processor = StftProcessor::new(config, WindowType::Hann)?;
let spec = processor.process(&signal, sample_rate)?;
// Extract features
let centroid = spec.spectral_centroid();
let bandwidth = spec.spectral_bandwidth();
let flatness = spec.spectral_flatness();
println!("Spectral centroid: {:.1} Hz (avg)",
centroid.iter().sum::<f64>() / centroid.len() as f64);
```
### Parallel Batch Processing
```rust
use avila_fft::parallel::*;
// Create batch of signals
let signals: Vec<Vec<Complex<f64>>> = (0..100)
.map(|_| generate_random_signal(4096))
.collect();
// Process in parallel
let config = ParallelConfig::default(); // Auto-detect CPU cores
let processor = ParallelFft::new(config);
let results = processor.process_batch(signals, false);
println!("Processed {} signals", results.len());
```
### Streaming Large Files
```rust
use avila_fft::streaming::*;
// Stream-process a huge file
let config = StreamConfig {
window_size: 2048,
hop_size: 512,
buffer_size: 16384,
sample_rate: 44100.0,
};
let mut processor = StreamingStft::new(config);
let mut max_magnitude = 0.0;
let mag: f64 = spectrum.iter().map(|c| c.norm()).sum();
max_magnitude = max_magnitude.max(mag);
if frame_idx % 100 == 0 {
println!("Processed frame {} at time {:.2}s", frame_idx, time);
}
})?;
println!("Max magnitude: {:.2}", max_magnitude);
```
