How to set width in findmaxima

[TorkelE]

If I have a vector v, and want to find all peaks so that it is the highest value in the interval [i-w:i+w], how do I do it? The docs says

findmaxima(x[, w=1; strict=true]) -> (idxs, vals)

but I really do not understand what syntax to use, e.g.

findmaxima(x[, w=1; strict=true])

does not work. I can do

findmaxima(x)

but then I have w=1, which I not necessarily want.

Hello! In Julia, docstring signatures wrap arguments in square brackets to denote that the arguments are optional (either positional or keyword; see the Julia docs here), but that is not a valid syntax to call the function . If you wish to call findmaxima with a different window size, you should use eg:

findmaxima(x, 5)
# or
findmaxima(x, 10; strict=false)

Got it, thanks :)
