Welcome to Fityk Trac

The wiki here is complementary to the Fityk manual. The fityk home page is here.

Trac is an issue tracker, but so far the main "issue tracker" is TODO file + mailing lists for communication. But feel free to also use Trac.

This is the best place for user-contributed articles, HOWTOs, hints or images. You are encouraged to contribute.

use cases

Here is a place where you can describe (in simple words) problems you are solving with fityk. It will be useful not only for other users, but also for developers.

• the simplest case - a single peak
• plotting x-y data with large number of points (molecular dynamics statistics)
• fitting Read-Shockley equation to grain boundary energies?

algorithms

• inequality constraints (or how to make a parameter always stay positive?)

publicity

• the list of publications that mention using fityk

for developers

• fityk-dev mailing list
• libfityk: the official API is documented in fityk.h ( doxygen-generated docs). This is a small subset of libfityk API, but the rest can change at any time.
• Python bindings use the same functions.
• Bindings for other languages supported by SWIG can be easily generated.

not only for fityk users

• why format of the fityk manual was changed from DocBook to ReST
• how to move mailing lists from SourceForge to Google Groups
