Description

The point in a weighted peak to mark as an edge, given as a percentage of the MatchLength.

Property type

A Double value.  

Syntax

object.MatchHotspot [= value]

The MatchHotspot Property syntax has these parts:

PartDescription
objectAn expression evaluating to an object of type McProfileEdges.
valueA Double value.

Remarks

The weighted profile is created by aligning MatchLength Weights or Pattern values with the ProfilesAncestor profile for each possible alignment. This alignment is offset by the MatchHotspot. Where peaks of this offset, weighted profile are found above the ThresholdForEdge, an “edge” is placed. By default, MatchHotspot is 50.0, so that the edge placement is exactly in the middle of the alignment; that is (MatchLength-1)/2 samples from the start of the alignment. A value of 0 results in marking the exact start of the alignment while 100 marks the exact end.

The MatchHotspot is most useful for the mcpefmMatchPattern EdgeFindingMethod, where, for example, you might want to mark the first valley of a “W” shaped Pattern as the “edge” location.
