 The class methods include `plot_wfs_curves([...])` to plot the waveforms and `plot_distributions_summary([...])` to plot the results of their analysis -- pulse height, peaking time and charge distributions. Check the source code for details on the method arguments.
 
-Another method which is worth discussing in some detail is `compute_pede([...])`, to compute pedestal values of the pulse height and charge distributions. This method is used inside `analyse_main_distributions([...])`. If the internal pedestal calculation is chosen (`b_pede_internal = True` among the arguments of the distribution plotting methods), the pedestal is computed as the average pulse height/charge in the chosen off-signal time window (`range_time_bkg` arguments of the distribution plotting methods); otherwise, it is manually set in `analyse_main_distributions([...])` (with the `pede_ph` and `pede_charge` members). Then, the abscissas of the raw pulse height and charge distributions of the signal ("_sig0") events (selected with the `range_time_sig` time window) are shifted accordingly. Moreover, if requested (`b_pede_subtract = True` among the arguments of the distribution plotting methods), the background spectrum population is subtracted from the final signal spectrum population; resulting negative bins are set to zero.
