public class SignalNorm

extends GelOperation

This class normalizes a gel. The total signal in a lane is defined as the sum of all of the points in a trace. Since the trace is simply a set of discrete points that form a curve, the total signal may also be thought of as the area under the trace curve, or as the integral over the entire size range. The lanes are normalized so that the total signal's are equal to the average signal in the gel. This class extends a gel operation. The signal in each lane is handled by the Lane class. There are no options to set.
