fft_plot function

Plot signal FFT norm and phase versus frequency and signal versus time. Customizable display, also return FFT data.

You are now following this Submission

Function can also return fft results.

optionnal input argument:
- 'legend': 'signal name'
- 'title': 'your title'
- 'window': 'none', 'hann', 'hamming', 'flattop', 'blackman', 'blackmanharris'
- 'subplot': 'fft', 'fft_signal', 'fft_angle', 'all', 'none'
- 'MinNorm': if norm is lower than this value, angle is forced to 0.
(angle makes no sense for small norm)
- 'H1': replace frequency axis with harmonic number (divide frequency axis by H1)
- 'fmin': display frequency fmin to fs/2 (if H1 != 1 then fmin = Harmonic min)
- 'fmax': display frequency 0 to fmax (if H1 != 1 then fmax = Harmonic max)
- 'Amax': display amplitude 0 to Amax
- 'style': 'line', 'stem', 'bar', 'stairs', 'area', (fft norm only)
- 'scale': 'linear', 'semilogx', 'semilogy', 'loglog'
- 'linewidth': number (defaut is 0.5)
