Talk:Apodization

Editing examples
The text read: When stopping your car, if you "remove your foot" to reduce the brake pedal force just as you come to a stop, you will not feel a "jerk" and the car will come to a smooth stop. This is a form of apodization. < !-- I don't know if this is a correct example, but please discuss its validity on the article's talk page. -- >

I don't think this is a valid example at all (jerk != edge filtering), and seems a superfluous attempt to explain the etymology of the term.

Etymology
Apodization literally means "removing the foot"

No, it doesn't -- see German version of this page. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 134.100.12.213 (talk) 09:04, 26 October 2009 (UTC)
