Dear all / Wayne,

Please find under the following link:

http://punias.free.fr/MaximumFinder.java

a new version candidate for the “Process->Find Maxima…” feature where:

-          the "Noise tolerance" NumericField has been replaced by a Slider
implementing MouseWheelListener features,

-          a "Lower threshold" slider has been added implementing as well
MouseWheelListener features,

-          the GenericDialog has been replaced by a NonBlockingGenericDialog
(I’m not sure whether you would agree on this and would like to know the
reasons if not).

Also discussing with a colleague on the “Find Maxima…” feature, he came up
with the idea of defining a relative "Noise tolerance" value which would for
example be equal to 10 for a peak having a height H and 20 for a peak of
height 2H.

And before starting to look into the code I found this as being a good idea
until I got lost within the algorithm (since the noise tolerance is actually
as well used in order to define what should be considered as a maxima).

So now I’m not really sure now whether this could be a good idea and whether
such an implementation is actually possible or not.

Thus I would like to get the opinion of some experts on this and thank you
very much in advance.

My best regards,

Philippe
