Detailed Description

template<UInt D>
class OpenMS::Math::AveragePosition< D >

Maintain an average position by summing up positions with weights.

Improvement:

A lot of convenience methods could be added. For example, we could overload operator + and -, consequently +=, -=, even < and ==, inherit the whole thing from an extended DPosition with similar methods, initialize from iterator ranges, ... but there are not concrete use cases at the moment. Please contact the maintainer if you need something for your application field. (Clemens)
