"""
The spectrum class offers a python object for mass spectrometry data.
The spectrum object holds the basic information on the spectrum and offers
methods to interrogate properties of the spectrum.
Data, i.e. mass over charge (m/z) and intensity decoding is performed on demand
and can be accessed via their properties, e.g. :py:attr:`spec.Spectrum.peaks`.

The Spectrum class is used in the :py:class:`run.Run` class.
There each spectrum is accessible as a spectrum object.

Theoretical spectra can also be created using the setter functions.
For example, m/z values, intensities, and peaks can be set by the
corresponding properties: :py:attr:`spec.Spectrum.mz`,
:py:attr:`spec.Spectrum.i`, :py:attr:`spec.Spectrum.peaks`.

        Calculating uncharged masses and returning deconvoluted peaks.

        The deconvolution of spectra is done by first identifying isotope envelopes and
        the charge state of this envelopes. The first peak of an isotope envelope is choosen
        as the monoisotopic peak for which the mass is calculated from the m/z ratio.
        Isotope envelopes are identified by searching the centroided spectrum for peaks
        which show no preceding isotope peak within a specified mass accuracy. To be
        sure, the measured mass accuracy is multiplied by a user adjustable factor
        (``ppmFactor``). When the current peak meets the criteria with no preceding peaks, the
        following peaks are analysed. The following peaks are considered to be part of
        the isotope envelope, as long as they fit within the measured precision and
        only one local maximum is present. The second local maximum is not considered
        as the starting point of a new isotope envelope as one cannot be sure were this
        isotope envelope starts. However, the last peak before the second local maximum
        is considered to be part of the isotope envelope from the first local maximum,
        as the intensity of this peak shouldn't have a big influence on the whole
        isotope envelope intensity.
        The charge range for detecting isotope envelopes can be specified (``minCharge``,
        ``maxCharge``). An isotope envelope always gets the highest possible charge.
        With the charge the mass can be calculated from the m/z value of the first peak
        of the isotope envelope. The intensity of the deconvoluted peak results from
        the sum of all isotope envelope peaks.
        In a last step, deconvoluted peaks are grouped together within the measured
        precision. This is necessary because isotope envelopes from the same fragment
        but with different charge states can leed to slightly different deconvoluted
        peaks.
