BTW: There is a way to make the display interpolation appear in the data by resampling
to e.g twice the original sample rate:

I presume the FFT runs on the real data.
After rethinking the interpolation a bit, it seems to me that it is
mathematically correct.

For the FFT there seems to be a way to make some sort of interpolation:

In options->settings->spectral

is the option to increase the resolution to get a more accurate frequency display
at the cost of a less accurate time-resolution.
(That is a characteristic for all sorts of time-frequency analysis)

By reducing the window width (e.g. dividing by 2 for each doubling of the FFT resolution
) the time resolution gets more accurate seemingly without loosing frequency
resolution. However I am not sure if this can really be true, because it would
mean, that both frequency _and_ time resolution could be increased at the same time.

IMO this could be a sort of interpolation, but I am not sure.

Regards,

Joerg
