dcboxcar

procedure dcboxcar, dc, width, [/decimate]

Smooth a data container with a boxcar smoothing of a certain width, in channels. For odd width, this uses the built-in idl SMOOTH function. For even widths this uses doboxcar1d and the reference channel is moved left by 1/2 channel width. Replaces the contents of the data being smoothed with the smoothed data. Use the GUIDE procedure, BOXCAR, to smoothing data containers in the !g structure.

For spectrum data containers, the frequency_resolution is set using estboxres
