Fityk (program for data processing and nonlinear curve fitting)
Fityk [fi:tik] is a program for data processing and nonlinear curve
fitting.
Primarily used:
- by scientists who analyze data from powder diffraction,
chromatography, photoluminescence and photoelectron spectroscopy,
infrared and Raman spectroscopy, and other experimental techniques;
- to fit peaks -- bell-shaped functions (Gaussian, Lorentzian, Voigt,
Pearson VII, bifurcated Gaussian, EMG, Doniach-Sunjic, etc.);
but it is suitable for fitting any curve to 2D (x,y) data.
Fityk is distributed under an open source licence (GPLv2+).
Optional dependency: Sphinx. If installed, it will be used to generate
HTML documentation, which will be installed in /usr/share/fityk/html.
