\title{Create Circulant Matrices}
\description{Creates a circulant matrix in \code{spam} format.}
\usage{
circulant.spam(x, n = NULL, eps = getOption("spam.eps"))
}
\arguments{
  \item{x}{the first row to form the circulant matrix or a list
    containing the indices and the nonzero values.}
  \item{n}{if \code{x} is a list, the dimension of the matrix.}
  \item{eps}{A tolerance parameter:  elements of \code{x} such that \code{abs(x)
    <= eps} set to zero. Defaults to \code{eps = getOption("spam.eps")}}
}
\value{The circulant matrix in \code{spam} format.}
%\details{The vector \code{y} has to be of the same length as \code{x}
%  and its first element is discarded.
