function w = flattopwin (m, opt)

//This function returns the filter coefficients of a Flat Top window.
//Calling Sequence
//w = flattopwin (m)
//w = flattopwin (m, opt)
//Parameters
//m: positive integer value
//opt: string value, takes in "periodic" or "symmetric"
//w: output variable, vector of real numbers
//Description
//This is an Octave function.
//This function returns the filter coefficients of a Flat Top window of length m supplied as input, to the output vector w.
//The second parameter can take the values "periodic" or "symmetric", depending on which the corresponding form of window is returned. The default is symmetric.
//This window has low pass-band ripple but a high bandwidth.
//Examples
//flattopwin(8,"periodic")
//ans  =
//    0.0009051
//  - 0.0264124
