"""
Transform a continuous to a discrete state-space system.
Parameters
----------
sys : a tuple describing the system.
The following gives the number of elements in the tuple and
the interpretation:
* 2: (num, den)
* 3: (zeros, poles, gain)
* 4: (A, B, C, D)
dt : float
The discretization time step.
method : {"gbt", "bilinear", "euler", "backward_diff", "zoh"}, optional
Which method to use:
* gbt: generalized bilinear transformation
* bilinear: Tustin's approximation ("gbt" with alpha=0.5)
* euler: Euler (or forward differencing) method ("gbt" with alpha=0)
* backward_diff: Backwards differencing ("gbt" with alpha=1.0)
* zoh: zero-order hold (default)
alpha : float within [0, 1], optional
The generalized bilinear transformation weighting parameter, which
should only be specified with method="gbt", and is ignored otherwise
Returns
-------
sysd : tuple containing the discrete system
Based on the input type, the output will be of the form
* (num, den, dt) for transfer function input
* (zeros, poles, gain, dt) for zeros-poles-gain input
* (A, B, C, D, dt) for state-space system input
Notes
-----
By default, the routine uses a Zero-Order Hold (zoh) method to perform
the transformation. Alternatively, a generalized bilinear transformation
may be used, which includes the common Tustin's bilinear approximation,
an Euler's method technique, or a backwards differencing technique.
The Zero-Order Hold (zoh) method is based on [1]_, the generalized bilinear
approximation is based on [2]_ and [3]_.
