The Gaussian filter is a peak area preserving low-pass filter and is characterized by narrow bandwidths, sharp cutoffs, and low passband ripple.

Note
The Gaussian filter works for uniform as well as for non-uniform data.

The command line parameters of this tool are:

NoiseFilterGaussian -- Removes noise from profile spectra by using Gaussian filter (on uniform as well as 
non-uniform data).
Version: 2.3.0 Jan  9 2018, 17:46:23, Revision: 38ae115

Usage:
  NoiseFilterGaussian <options>

This tool has algorithm parameters that are not shown here! Please check the ini file for a detailed descript
ion or use the --helphelp option.

Options (mandatory options marked with '*'):
  -in <file>*        Input raw data file  (valid formats: 'mzML')
  -out <file>*       Output raw data file  (valid formats: 'mzML')
                     
Common TOPP options:
  -ini <file>        Use the given TOPP INI file
  -threads <n>       Sets the number of threads allowed to be used by the TOPP tool (default: '1')
  -write_ini <file>  Writes the default configuration file
  --help             Shows options
  --helphelp         Shows all options (including advanced)

The following configuration subsections are valid:
 - algorithm   Algorithm parameters section

You can write an example INI file using the '-write_ini' option.
Documentation of subsection parameters can be found in the doxygen documentation or the INIFileEditor.
Have a look at the OpenMS documentation for more information.

gaussian_width0.2 Use a gaussian filter width which has approximately the same width as your mass peaks (FWHM in m/z).
ppm_tolerance10 Gaussian width, depending on the m/z position.
The higher the value, the wider the peak and therefore the wider the gaussian.
use_ppm_tolerancefalse If true, instead of the gaussian_width value, the ppm_tolerance is used. The gaussian is calculated in each step anew, so this is much slower.true,false
