PLOT_STMODSPECGRAM - Spectro-Temporal Modulation spectrogram

Program code:

function plot_stmodspecgram(f,fs,varargin)
%PLOT_STMODSPECGRAM  Spectro-Temporal Modulation spectrogram
%   Usage:  plot_stmodspecgram(f,fs);
%           plot_stmodspecgram(f,fs,...);
%
%   `plot_stmodspecgram(f,fs)` plots the modulation spectogram of the signal *f* sampled
%   at a sampling frequency of *fs* Hz.
%
%   `C=plot_stmodspecgram(f,fs, ... )` returns the image to be displayed as a matrix. Use
%   this in conjunction with `imwrite` etc.
%
%   The function takes the following additional arguments
%
%     'win',g      Use the window g. See the help on `gabwin` for some
%                  possiblities. Default is to use a Gaussian window
%                  controlled by the `'thr'` or `'wlen'` parameters listed below.
%   
%     'tfr',v      Set the ratio of frequency resolution to time resolution.
%                  A value $v=1$ is the default. Setting $v>1$ will give better
%                  frequency resolution at the expense of a worse time
%                  resolution. A value of $0<v<1$ will do the opposite.
%   
%     'wlen',s     Window length. Specifies the length of the window
%                  measured in samples. See help of PGAUSS on the exact
%                  details of the window length.
%   
%     'image'      Use `imagesc` to display the spectrogram. This is the
%                  default.
%
%     'clim',clim  Use a colormap ranging from `clim(1)` to `clim(2)`. These
%                  values are passed to `imagesc`. See the help on `imagesc`.
%   
%     'dynrange',r  Use a colormap in the interval [chigh-r,chigh], where
%                   chigh is the highest value in the plot.
%   
%     'fmax',fmax  Display *fmax* as the highest frequency.
%   
%     'mfmax',mfmax  
%                  Display *mfmax* as the highest modulation frequency.
%  
%     'smfmax',smfmax
%                  Display *smfmax* as the highest spectral modulation
%                  frequency.  
%   
%     'xres',xres  Approximate number of pixels along x-axis / time.
%   
%     'yres',yres  Approximate number of pixels along y-axis / frequency
%   
%     'contour'    Do a contour plot to display the spectrogram.
%            
%     'surf'       Do a surf plot to display the spectrogram.
%   
%     'mesh'       Do a mesh plot to display the spectrogram.
%   
%     'colorbar'   Display the colorbar. This is the default.
%   
%     'nocolorbar'  Do not display the colorbar.
%   
%     'interp'     Interpolate the image to get the desired
%                  x-resolution. Turn this off by using `'no_interp'`
%
%   The parameters `'dynrange'`, `'mfmax'` and `'smfmax'` may be speficied
%   first on the argument line, in that order.
