NMRPipe Processing Functions
TRI: Triangle Window.

TRI applies a triangle window. The window is specified in terms of the location of the triangle apex, and the heights of the window at the first and last points of the FID. The window is seldom if ever used with biomolecular NMR spectra, but might be of use for time-domain data which has its largest amplitudes near the center, as is commonly found in time-domain image data.

In addition to function-specific options, each of the nmrPipe window functions provides the following features:

• Optional scaling of the first point of each FID.
• Automatic recording of window parameters and first point scaling in the data header during processing.
• Automatic adjustment of the default size of the window function to match the valid time-domain size recorded in the header.
• Optional extraction and use of window parameters recorded in the header, rather than from the command-line.
• An inverse mode, which divides by the window function and first point scale rather than multiplying by them.
• Options to adjust the size or starting point of the window function via command-line arguments.

TRI OPTIONS

-loc apexLoc
(Q1) Specifies the point location of the triangle function's apex on the FID. The triangle function will have a height of 1.0 at this location.

-lHi lHi
(Q2) Specifies the height of the triangle function at the first point of the window. The window will vary linearly from this height to 1.0 between the first point and the apex of the window.

-rHi rHi
(Q3) Specifies the height of the triangle function at the last point of the window. The window will vary linearly from 1.0 to this height between the apex of the window and the last point.

GENERIC OPTIONS

-size aSize
Specifies the number of points in the window function. The default value is the valid time-domain size recorded in the data header.

-start aStart
Specifies the starting point of the window function. The default value is 1, which means the window function starts at the first point of the FID. This option is intended for creation of composite windows by application of different functions to different regions of the FID.

-c fScale
Specifies the scaling applied to the first point of the FID, which influences the zero-order offset in the corresponding spectrum. The default value is 1.0, which means no first point adjustment is applied. A value of 0.5 is usually appropriate in cases where no substantial first-order phase correction will be applied.

-one
This flag influences the values used "outside" the window function, in cases where the window size is smaller than the actual number of data points. By default, data values outside the window region are multiplied by zero when the window is applied. However if the -one flag is used, data values outside the window region will be multiplied by 1.0 when the window is applied. This flag is intended to assist creation of composite windows by application of different functions to different regions of the FID.

-hdr
When this flag is used, default window parameters (Q1,Q2, and Q3) will be extracted from the data header, along with the first point scaling. This requires that all of these parameters have already been recorded, for instance during previous processing or format conversion (see EXAMPLES below). Additional command-line can be used to override values restored from the header. The window parameters stored in the data header can be viewed using the showhdr program, for example:

          showhdr -verb test.ft2

-inv
When this flag is used, the inverse (1/window) of the selected window and first point scale will be applied. This option is intended for removing a previously-applied window in inverse processing schemes. This option should generally only be used on window functions which have no values close or equal to zero. In cases where the window does have a zero value, the inverse window is also given as zero.

EXAMPLES

A triangle window which goes from 0.05 to 1.0 and back to 0.05, so that it contains no zero values:

       | nmrPipe -fn TRI -lHi 0.05 -rHi 0.05 \

HEADER VALUES

The nmrPipe window functions use the recorded time-domain size (NDAPOD) to establish their default length.

When the -hdr flag is used, default window parameters are extracted from header values NDAPODCODE, NDAPODQ1, NDAPODQ2, and NDC1.

The header values NDAPODCODE, NDAPODQ1, NDAPODQ2, and NDC1 are updated according to the values applied during processing.
