## S3 method for class 'imwd' nullevels(imwd, levelstonull, ...)
Setting whole resolution levels of coefficients to zero can be very useful. For examples, one can construct a linear smoothing method by setting all coefficients above a particular resolution (the primary resolution equal to zero. Also setting particular levels equal to zero can also be useful for removing noise which is specific to a particular resolution level (as long as important signal is not also contained at that level).
Note that this function removes the horiztonal, diagonal and vertical detail coefficients at the resolution level specified. It does not remove the father wavelet coefficients at those resolution levels.
To remove individual coefficients on a systematic basis you probably want to look at the threshold function.
An object of class imwd where the coefficients in resolution levels specified by levelstonull have been set to zero.

# # Do the wavelet transform of the Lennon image # data(lennon) lenimwd <- imwd(lennon) # # Set scales (resolution levels) 2, 4 and 6 equal to zero. # lenwdNL <- nullevels(lenimwd, levelstonull=c(2,4,6)) # # Now let's plot the coefficients using a nice blue-heat colour map # # You will see that coefficients at levels 2, 4 and 6 are black (i.e. zero) # You can see that coefficients at other levels are unaffected and still # show the Lennon coefficients. # ## Not run: plot(lenwdNL)
