.H 1 "Change sample size and blocking of input"

`Block' is under `objects' and `dsp processing'.

`Block' converts its input stream to an output stream
with a specified number words per sample and
a specified number of samples per block. The sample size and block size
of the input data stream are ignored. The stream is treated
as if it were an unblocked real data stream.

Some nodes that read disk files
only generate a real data stream. If such a node is used to read
complex data `Block' can do the needed transformation.
If a node is used
to read FFT output from another process you can use `Block'
to structure the data so it will be plotted correctly with one
FFT window per plot.
