-"""This module implements a Mel Filter Bank.
-In other words it is a filter bank with triangular shaped bands
-arnged on the mel frequency scale.
-An example ist shown in the following figure:
-.. plot::
-    from pylab import plt
-    import melbank
-    f1, f2 = 1000, 8000
-    melmat, (melfreq, fftfreq) = melbank.compute_melmat(6, f1, f2, num_fft_bands=4097)
-    fig, ax = plt.subplots(figsize=(8, 3))
-    ax.plot(fftfreq, melmat.T)
-    ax.grid(True)
-    ax.set_ylabel('Weight')
-    ax.set_xlabel('Frequency / Hz')
-    ax.set_xlim((f1, f2))
-    ax2 = ax.twiny()
-    ax2.xaxis.set_ticks_position('top')
-    ax2.set_xlim((f1, f2))
-    ax2.xaxis.set_ticks(melbank.mel_to_hertz(melfreq))
-    ax2.xaxis.set_ticklabels(['{:.0f}'.format(mf) for mf in melfreq])
-    ax2.set_xlabel('Frequency / mel')
-    plt.tight_layout()
-    fig, ax = plt.subplots()
-    ax.matshow(melmat)
-    plt.axis('equal')
-    plt.axis('tight')
-    plt.title('Mel Matrix')
-    plt.tight_layout()
