function x = postpad (x, L, varargin)
%POSTPAD   Pads or truncates a vector x to a specified length L.
%   Usage: y=postpad(x,L);
%          y=postpad(x,L,C);
%          y=postpad(x,L,C,dim);
%
%   POSTPAD(x,L) will add zeros to the end of the vector x, until the
%   result has length L. If L is less than the length of the signal, it
%   will be truncated. POSTPAD works along the first non-singleton
%   dimension.
%
%   POSTPAD(x,L,C) will add entries with a value of C instead of zeros.
%
%   POSTPAD(x,L,C,dim) works along dimension dim instead of the first
%   non-singleton.
