\title{Apply a warping to a given timeseries}
\description{
Returns the indexing required to apply the optimal warping curve to a
given timeseries (warps either into a query or into a reference).
}
\usage{
warp(d,index.reference=FALSE)
}
\arguments{
\item{d}{\code{dtw} object specifying the warping curve to apply}
\item{index.reference}{\code{TRUE} to warp a reference, \code{FALSE}
to warp a query}
}
\details{
The warping is returned as a set of indices, which can be used to
subscript the timeseries to be warped (or rows in a matrix, if one
wants to warp a multivariate time series). In other words,
\code{warp} converts the warping curve, or its inverse, into a
function in the explicit form.
Multiple indices that would be mapped to a single point are averaged,
with a warning. Gaps in the index sequence are filled by linear
interpolation.
}
\value{
A list of indices to subscript the timeseries.
}
\seealso{Examples in \code{\link{dtw}} show how to \emph{graphically}
apply the warping via parametric plots.

##
## Asymmetric step makes it "natural" to warp
## the reference, because every query index has
## exactly one image (q->t is a function)
##
alignment<-dtw(query,reference,step=asymmetric)
wt<-warp(alignment,index.reference=TRUE);
plot(query,type="l",col="blue",
main="Warping reference, asymmetric step");
