# Introduction

The best possible explanation on VEF and lMHL values is given in help files for
*`generateCytosineReport`* and *`generateMhlReport`* methods, respectively.
Here we try to show some simplified and real situations,
i.e., different methylation patterns that may exist, and provide a visual
summary of *`epialleleR`* output.

The readers are welcome to try their own real and simulated data. If it might
be of interest to others, please create an issue and these examples might get
included in this vignette.

NB: the `plotMetrics` function used below is a piece of spaghetti code, hence
hidden. If you still want to use it or see what it does - browse a
[source code](https://github.com/BBCG/epialleleR/blob/devel/vignettes/values.Rmd)
of this vignette online.
