function [K] = spm_sptop(sigma,q,c)
% Sparse Toeplitz convolution matrix given convolution kernel
% FORMAT [K] = spm_sptop(sigma,q,c)
%
% sigma - of Gaussian kernel K (or kernel itself)
% q     - order of matrix
% c     - kernel index at t = 0 {default c = length(sigma)/2) 
% K     - q x q sparse convolution matrix
%_______________________________________________________________________
%
% Returns a q x q sparse convolution matrix.  If sigma is a scalar then
% a symmetrical Gaussian convolution matrix is returned with kernel width
% = sigma.  If sigma is a vector than sigma constitutes the kernel.  To
% obtain an assymmetrical convolution matrix (i.e. implement a phase shift
% set c = 1.
%
% Boundary handling: The row-wise sum of K is set to unity (kernel truncation)
