Question about root_raised_cosine

I use a variable to create the taps for arbitrary polyphase resampler
block, and for that the variable that I call “taps1” I give the
following value firdes.root_raised_cosine(gain, sampling_freq,
symbol_rate, alpha, ntaps), which is raised cosine filter creates. But
I’m not sure how and what parameters to use. I try to put parameters
whose meanings are as described above but the result is not as expected.

Does anyone know how to use firdes.root_raised_cosine(,) and
parameters are suitable for this?

Thank you
