#' Spectrogram
#'
#' Spectrogram using short-time Fourier transform.
#'
#' Generate a spectrogram for the signal \code{x}. The signal is chopped into
#' overlapping segments of length \code{n}, and each segment is windowed and
#' transformed into the frequency domain using the FFT. The default segment size
#' is 256. If \code{fs} is given, it specifies the sampling rate of the input
#' signal. The argument \code{window} specifies an alternate window to apply
#' rather than the default of \code{hanning(n)}. The argument overlap specifies
#' the number of samples overlap between successive segments of the input
#' signal. The default overlap is \code{length (window)/2}.
#'
#' When results of \code{specgram} are printed, a spectrogram will be plotted.
#' As with \code{lattice} plots, automatic printing does not work inside loops
#' and function calls, so explicit calls to \code{print} or \code{plot} are
#' needed there.
#'
#' The choice of window defines the time-frequency resolution. In speech for
#' example, a wide window shows more harmonic detail while a narrow window
#' averages over the harmonic detail and shows more formant structure. The shape
#' of the window is not so critical so long as it goes gradually to zero on the
#' ends.
#'
#' Step size (which is window length minus overlap) controls the horizontal
#' scale of the spectrogram. Decrease it to stretch, or increase it to compress.
#' Increasing step size will reduce time resolution, but decreasing it will not
#' improve it much beyond the limits imposed by the window size (you do gain a
#' little bit, depending on the shape of your window, as the peak of the window
#' slides over peaks in the signal energy). The range 1-5 msec is good for
#' speech.
#'
#' FFT length controls the vertical scale. Selecting an FFT length greater than
#' the window length does not add any information to the spectrum, but it is a
#' good way to interpolate between frequency points which can make for prettier
#' spectrograms.
#'
#' AFTER you have generated the spectral slices, there are a number of decisions
#' for displaying them. First the phase information is discarded and the energy
#' normalized:
#'
#' \code{S <- abs(S); S <- S / max(S)}
#'
#' Then the dynamic range of the signal is chosen. Since information in speech
#' is well above the noise floor, it makes sense to eliminate any dynamic range
#' at the bottom end. This is done by taking the max of the magnitude and some
#' minimum energy such as minE = -40dB. Similarly, there is not much information
#' in the very top of the range, so clipping to a maximum energy such as maxE =
#' -3dB makes sense:
#'
#' \code{S <- max(S, 10^(minE / 10)); S <- min(S, 10^(maxE / 10))}
#'
#' The frequency range of the FFT is from 0 to the Nyquist frequency of one half
#' the sampling rate. If the signal of interest is band limited, you do not need
#' to display the entire frequency range. In speech for example, most of the
#' signal is below 4 kHz, so there is no reason to display up to the Nyquist
#' frequency of 10 kHz for a 20 kHz sampling rate. In this case you will want to
#' keep only the first 40% of the rows of the returned \code{S} and \code{f}.
#' More generally, to display the frequency range from minF to maxF, you could
#' use the following row index:
#'
#' \code{idx <- (f >= minF & f <= maxF)}
#'
#' Then there is the choice of colormap. A brightness varying colormap such as
#' copper or bone gives good shape to the ridges and valleys. A hue varying
#' colormap such as jet or hsv gives an indication of the steepness of the
#' slopes. In the field that I am working in (neuroscience / electrophysiology)
#' rainbow color palettes such as jet are very often used. This is an
#' unfortunate choice mainly because (a) colors do not have a natural order, and
#' (b) rainbow palettes are not perceptually linear. It would be better to use a
#' grayscale palette or the 'cool-to-warm' scheme. The examples show how to do
#' this in R.
#'
#' The final spectrogram is displayed in log energy scale and by convention has
#' low frequencies on the bottom of the image.
#'
#' @param x Input signal, specified as a vector.
#' @param n Size of the FFT window. Default: 256 (or less if \code{x} is
#' shorter).
#' @param fs Sample rate in Hz. Default: 2
#' @param window Either an integer indicating the length of a Hanning window, or
#' a vector of values representing the shape of the FFT tapering window.
#' Default: hanning(n)
#' @param overlap Overlap with previous window. Default: half the window length
#' @param col Colormap to use for plotting. Default: \code{grDevices::gray(0:512
#' / 512)}
#' @param xlab Label for x-axis of plot. Default: \code{"Time"}
#' @param ylab Label for y-axis of plot. Default: \code{"Frequency"}
#' @param ... Additional arguments passed to the \code{image} plotting function
#'
#' @return A list of class \code{specgram} consisting of the following elements:
