<para>
-This is an Octave function.
-This function computes the minimum filter order of an elliptic filter with the desired response characteristics.
-Stopband frequency ws and passband frequency wp specify the the filter frequency band edges.
-Frequencies are normalized to the Nyquist frequency in the range [0,1].
-Rp is measured in decibels and is the allowable passband ripple and Rs is also measured in decibels and is the minimum attenuation in the stop band.
-If ws>wp then the filter is a low pass filter. If wp>ws, then the filter is a high pass filter.
-If wp and ws are vectors of length 2, then the passband interval is defined by wp and the stopband interval is defined by ws.
-If wp is contained within the lower and upper limits of ws, the filter is a band-pass filter. If ws is contained within the lower and upper limits of wp, the filter is a band-stop or band-reject filter.
