# fwhm

Compute the full width at half maximum

## Syntax

    fwhm_val = fwhm(f, x)
    fwhm_val = fwhm(f, x, plot_fwhm)

## Description

`fwhm` calculates the Full Width at Half Maximum (FWHM) of a positive 1D input function f(x) with spacing given by x.

For example, running the code

    x = -pi/2:pi/20:pi/2;
    f = cos(x);
    fwhm(f, x, true);

produces the output

## Inputs

`f` | f(x)
`x` | x data or dx

## Optional Inputs

`plot_fwhm` | Boolean controlling whether a plot of the function and FWHM is produced

## Outputs

`fwhm_val` | FWHM of f(x)
