Hi Gary,

When you drag a box to integrate by boxing, all the peaks in the box
do get their volume set to the same value. In testing with Sparky 3.115
I do not see it integrating peaks outside the dragged box like you
report. Ah, actually I see that if the dragged box contains any part of
the peak marker, even just a corner, then it gets included. So the
center of the peak doesnt actually have to lie inside the dragged box.
This is the same behavior with peak selection. Doesnt seem so good.
You might want to make your peak markers smaller (ornament tool, ot) if
this is causing problems in overlapped regions.

Sparky hasnt drawn ellipses in integrate by ellipse mode since about
1995 when the code was rewritten to run on machines other than Sparc
stations.

Hi Tom,

Im trying to integrate a 2D plot in Sparky using the boxing method, but
am running into some troubles. It seems that whenever two peaks are
adjacent to each other, the act of integrating a neighbor causes its
near neighbors to be merged or overlapped, and their integrals are set
to the same value. If I lock the peak positions first, they dont
physically move, but they are given equal integrals.

It used to be that boxing would just set the peak position to the center
of the box (or ellipse) but it would never move a peak that was outside
of the box. It was very useful that way.

How can I do this?

Also, in the olden-days, the ellipsoid integration would show the
ellipse that you are drawing. It doesnt seem to do that anymore.

I am running Sparky 3.113 on Ubuntu, if that matters.

Any help would be appreciated.

Gary
