Hi,

We would like to use map_peaks and map_peaks_near_point.
Sometimes depending on the sigma value we enter we get a different set of points
(I mean points that should be there and are replaced by others)
Yes, this can happen.

The manual says
Return a list of map peaks of molecule number imol_map above n_sigma.
There will be cluster filtering of the map peaks.

So what does cluster filtering mean here and could that have an
effect on our date

The peak search happens over a number of iterations - searching for the highest peaks first. Coot finds all the local grid points that are above the threshold and uses them to make a weighed mean position. So changing the "n_sigma" will change the set of grid points above a particular level and thus the shape of the blob and thus the average position.

If, on a subsequent round it find a peak that is "close" to an existing peak, then the new, lower peak is filtered out.
