FFT documentation


From: Roberto Hernández
Subject: FFT documentation

The FFT algorithm was designed for signals with a number of samples that is
an integer power of two. In case the number of samples isn't a power of two
there are two options: 1. zero-pad or truncate the signal, 2. use the DFT
algorithm which is much slower, but works for any number of samples.

I havent found any mention in the FFT function documentation as to which
approach is taken in this case. Does anyone know?
