// Fourier Descriptors provide a mechanism for representing a closed curve in
// space. The represented curve has infinite continuiity because the
// parametric coordinate of its points are computed from a Fourier Series.
//
// In this example we illustrate how a curve that is initially defined by a
// set of points in space can be represented in terms for Fourier Descriptors.
// This representation is useful for several purposes. For example, it
// provides a mechanmism for interpolating values among the points, it
// provides a way of analyzing the smoothness of the curve. In this particular
// example we will focus on this second application of the Fourier Descriptors.
//
// The first operation that we should use in this context is the computation
// of the discrete fourier transform of the point coordinates. The coordinates
// of the points are considered to be independent functions and each one is
// decomposed in a Fourier Series. In this section we will use $t$ as the
// parameter of the curve, and will assume that it goes from $0$ to $1$ and
// cycles as we go around the closed curve. //
// \begin{equation}
// \textbf{V(t)} = \left( X(t), Y(t) \right)
// \end{equation}
//
// We take now the functions $X(t)$, $Y(t)$ and interpret them as the
// components of a complex number for which we compute its discrete fourier
// series in the form
//
// \begin{equation}
// V(t) = \sum_{k=0}^{N} \exp(-\frac{2 k \pi \textbf{i}}{N}) F_k
// \end{equation}
//
// Where the set of coefficients $F_k$ is the discrete spectrum of the complex
// function $V(t)$. These coefficients are in general complex numbers and both
// their magnitude and phase must be considered in any further analysis of the
// spectrum.
