Objective
glance over the built-in wavelet families and their wavelet members in PyWavelets library.
1. Display Built-in Wavelet Families
pywt.families(short=True) : returns a list of available built-in wavelet families
In [17]: import pywt
In [18]: pywt.families()
Out[18]: ['haar',
'db',
'sym',
'coif',
'bior',
'rbio',
'dmey',
'gaus',
'mexh',
'morl',
'cgau',
'shan',
'fbsp',
'cmor']
In [19]: pywt.families(short=False)
Out[19]: ['Haar',
'Daubechies',
'Symlets',
'Coiflets',
'Biorthogonal',
'Reverse biorthogonal',
'Discrete Meyer (FIR Approximation)',
'Gaussian',
'Mexican hat wavelet',
'Morlet wavelet',
'Complex Gaussian wavelets',
'Shannon wavelets',
'Frequency B-Spline wavelets',
'Complex Morlet wavelets']
2. Display Built-in Wavelet Members
pywt.wavelist(family=None, kind='all') function: returns a list of names of the built-in
wavelets.
family: Short family name.
kind : {‘all’, ‘continuous’, ‘discrete’}, optional.
(1) All families and both kinds
In [20]: pywt.wavelist()
Out[20]: ['bior1.1',
