    """
    The spectrum class offers a python object for mass spectrometry data.
    The spectrum object holds the basic information of the spectrum and offers
    methods to interrogate properties of the spectrum.
    Data, i.e. mass over charge (m/z) and intensity decoding is performed on demand
    and can be accessed via their properties, e.g. :py:attr:`~pymzml.spec.Spectrum.peaks`.

    The Spectrum class is used in the :py:class:`~pymzml.run.Reader` class.
    There each spectrum is accessible as a spectrum object.

    Theoretical spectra can also be created using the setter functions.
    For example, m/z values, intensities, and peaks can be set by the
    corresponding properties: :py:attr:`pymzml.spec.Spectrum.mz`,
    :py:attr:`pymzml.spec.Spectrum.i`, :py:attr:`pymzml.spec.Spectrum.peaks`.

    Similar to the spectrum class, the chromatogram class allows interrogation
    with profile data (time, intensity) in an total ion chromatogram.
