"""Figure 1 -- the eight methods on a 1D toy, where the truth is known exactly.
A close doublet the LSF blends into one blob, plus a weak isolated line, at
sigma_LSF = 8 px and a peak S/N of ~12. Every method in the paper is run on
it, scored against the truth it was generated from, and drawn.
The toy exists because on real spectra there is no ground truth: the grating
reference is itself noisy and band-limited, so "recovered the line" and
"invented a line that happens to sit there" are hard to separate. Here they
are not. The three numbers under each panel -- peak amplitude, the dip between
the blended pair, and fitted FWHM -- are the same quantities Figure 5 measures
on real data, against a truth that is known rather than estimated.
The parameter values in the panel titles are the classical literature defaults
at this scale, *not* the tuned values the benchmark uses. Every classical
parameter in this project is grid-dependent, and the settings tuned for the
R = 4000 log grid are meaningless at 512 pixels. A toy this size is also far
easier to deconvolve than a real spectrum: read the panels as an illustration
of what each method does, never as a performance claim.
Reproducibility
---------------
Seven of the eight panels are deterministic. The eighth trains a small 1D CNN
inline, and cuDNN's convolutions reduce in a non-deterministic order on GPU, so
its row moves in the third or fourth decimal between runs (RMSE 0.0143 vs
0.0144 when this was checked). The conclusion does not move -- the CNN wins on
every metric by a wide margin -- but this is the one figure in the paper that
is not bit-reproducible. Pass ``deterministic=True`` to trade a little speed
for a fixed result.
