Hi Ron
It's the "Frequency Response of Zero-padded FFT/DFT"
section of your web page. By the way, I thnk your
"Common FFT Usage Misconceptions" material is interesting.

See Ya',

The most common FFT misconception is the one with is scaling of the FFT
results. It had been 1000 times when I had to explain them that they
can't compare 512pt FFT to 4096pt FFT directly; people just don't seem
to understand that. It is also very common to see a spectral plot
without any reference to the bin width.

So the C standard leaves PI defintion, as well as other constants (for
example, log2e, log10e) to implementation?

Best use

#include <math.h>
double pi = acos(-1);

This will continue to work even if the value of pi changes in the
future.

I would believe there could be confusion about that. What do you find
to be the most common area of misconception? The frequency
represented by a particular bin number? The bin "width"? Something
about the time/resolution trade-off when changing the number of
points?

I'll add that to my list.
