if you need your moving average filter for reasonably small numbers only
(like 10) and you only need it for this number of values (10; but not 11
or 4) you can build a moing average with elemnts like "t f f", "f", "+"
and "/".
the easiest moving average (vor only 2 values) would be a
=------
|t f f|
=-----=
\ /
\ /
X
/ \
=-=
|+|
=--
|
=------
|* 0.5|
=------
by just cascading this, you can build a moving average for floats for any
windowsize.
if you are lazy or need a filter that supports various window-sizes, you
might want to try out the "mavg"-object in the zexy-external.
