b=dct2(arg1,mrows,ncols)
function b=dct2(arg1,mrows,ncols)
%DCT2 Compute 2-D discrete cosine transform.
%   B = DCT2(A) returns the discrete cosine transform of A.
%   The matrix B is the same size as A and contains the
%   discrete cosine transform coefficients.
%
%   B = DCT2(A,[M N]) or B = DCT2(A,M,N) pads the matrix A with
%   zeros to size M-by-N before transforming. If M or N is
%   smaller than the corresponding dimension of A, DCT2 truncates
%   A. 
%
%   This transform can be inverted using IDCT2.
%
%   Class Support
%   -------------
%   A can be numeric or logical. The returned matrix B is of 
%   class double.
%
%   Example
%   -------
%       RGB = imread('autumn.tif');
%       I = rgb2gray(RGB);
%       J = dct2(I);
%       imshow(log(abs(J)),[]), colormap(jet), colorbar
%
%   The commands below set values less than magnitude 10 in the
%   DCT matrix to zero, then reconstruct the image using the
%   inverse DCT function IDCT2.
%
%       J(abs(J)<10) = 0;
%       K = idct2(J);
%       imview(I)
%       imview(K,[0 255])
%
%   See also FFT2, IDCT2, IFFT2.
