function SmoothY=fastsmooth(Y,w,type,ends)
% fastsmooth(Y,w,type,ends) smooths vector Y with smooth 
%  of width w. Version 3.0, October 2016.
% The argument "type" determines the smooth type:
%   If type=1, rectangular (sliding-average or boxcar) 
%   If type=2, triangular (2 passes of sliding-average)
%   If type=3, pseudo-Gaussian (3 passes of sliding-average)
%   If type=4, pseudo-Gaussian (4 passes of same sliding-average)
%   If type=5, multiple-width (4 passes of different sliding-average)
% The argument "ends" controls how the "ends" of the signal 
% (the first w/2 points and the last w/2 points) are handled.
%   If ends=0, the ends are zero.  (In this mode the elapsed 
%     time is independent of the smooth width). The fastest.
%   If ends=1, the ends are smoothed with progressively 
%     smaller smooths the closer to the end. (In this mode the  
%     elapsed time increases with increasing smooth widths).
% fastsmooth(Y,w,type) smooths with ends=0.
% fastsmooth(Y,w) smooths with type=1 and ends=0.
% Examples:
% fastsmooth([1 1 1 10 10 10 1 1 1 1],3)= [0 1 4 7 10 7 4 1 1 0]
%
% fastsmooth([1 1 1 10 10 10 1 1 1 1],3,1,1)= [1 1 4 7 10 7 4 1 1 1]
%
% x=1:100;
% y=randn(size(x)); 
% plot(x,y,x,fastsmooth(y,5,3,1),'r')
% xlabel('Blue: white noise.    Red: smoothed white noise.')
