#
# The methods for calculating the continuum are:
# median -> running median using median_n_bins, with step size of 1 bin
# tmedian -> running truncated median using median_n_bins, ""
# spline3 -> cubic smoothing spline
# If using median or truncated median, must set the median_n_bins parameter
#
(continuum_method = median) Continuum calculation method
(median_n_bins = 50) Number of bins for median of continuum calc - EVEN number
(cont_offset = 1) Offset from line center to sample continuum [LSF width]
#
# The of head and tail of the non cubic spline continuum calculations need to
# be determined by the user. The head and tail sections are equivalent to
# median_n_bins/2 on each end of the spectrum. Currently, the possible
# values for those sections are:
# default -> sets the head and tail to = 0 counts
# values -> sets the head and tail to user values; values are set
# in the following paramerters called "head_value" and
# "tail_value"
# extrapolate -> uses extrapolation of the neighbors to cal head/tail
# copy -> uses a copy of the neighbors data values to get the extra
# points in order to perform median/tmedian calculations
#
(head_tail_cont_method = default) Head and tail t/median continuum calc
#
# If head_tail_cont_method=values, the values must be set here, using
# the parameters "head_value" and "tail_value".
#
(head_value = 0) If head_tail_cont_method=values, set short wavelength (left) end
(tail_value = 0) If head_tail_cont_method=values, set long wavelength (right) end
#
# If using the truncated median parameter, set the low and high cut offs.
# The (high_tmedian + low_tmedian) cut off, must be less than 1.
#
(low_tmedian = 0.2) For truncated median, reject bin values <= (low_tmedian * median)
(high_tmedian = 0) For truncated median, reject bins values >= (high_tmedian * median)
