setStepSize(index, stepSize)

Include Headers

seqan/index.h

Parameters

index	A q-gram index. Types: IndexQGram
stepSize	Store every stepSize'th q-gram in the index.

Remarks

The default step size of a q-gram index is 1, which corresponds to all overlapping q-grams. To take effect of changing the stepSize the q-gram index should be empty or recreated.

A stepSize of 0 corresponds to stepSize=length(indexShape(index)), i.e. all non-overlapping q-grams.
