Spectralane: Spectra Notes

Spectralane is a spectroscopy workbench that reads JCAMP-DX and delimited spectra, keeps every transform as an immutable hash-fingerprinted node, and never shows a number it cannot justify. on the canvas: three demonstration IR lanes open the moment the app launches. Overlay or stack them, pinch to zoom the wavenumber axis, drag to pan once zoomed, and scrub a full-resolution cursor whose exact X, Y, and source index appear in the inspector. Region observations ride the trace, and accepted peaks are drawn in place with their positions. in the engine: the JCAMP-DX reader handles AFFN and ASDF compressed data (SQZ, DIF, DUP) with consistency diagnostics. Transforms cover crop, four normalization methods, piecewise-linear baseline subtraction, Savitzky-Golay smoothing and derivatives from a genuine least-squares fit, and grid resampling that never extrapolates.
