-i / -d / -s outer distance ? #62

Closed jfourquet2 closed 3 years ago

jfourquet2 commented 4 years ago

Hi, I have a question about the parameters -i, -d and -s. Can you describe in details these options ? I have read the wiki and there is a note about -d option "NB: the -d option was previously incorrectly stated as being the outer distance, but is in fact the inner distance. Thanks to Brent Pedersen! " but in the help of dwgsim it is noticed that we can use -i to use the inner distance and -d for the outer distance, so I don't understand this note... Thanks a lot in advance !

-i describes if the distance should be calculated as "inner" versus "outer"
-d is the distance, who is dependent based on -i
-s is the standard deviation for randomly picking an insert size based on a normal distribution with mean (-d) and standard deviation (`-s)
