Summary of the frequency line plot and RP abilities to distinguish regions based on either peak event intensity or area under the event intensity curve

	Frequency line plot	Rainfall plot
Intensity (density of mutations in hotspot regions)	No	Directly
Integral (number of mutations in hotspot regions)	Directly	To some degree through point counting
Extent (length of hotspot regions)	No	To some degree by deriving from integral and intensity

Intensity here refers to the average distance between events within a genomic region (density of mutations within a hotspot region). Integral refers to the total number of events within a genomic region (number of mutations within a hotspot region). Extent refers to the length of the genomic region of heightened event frequency (length of hotspot region)
