#267 How to get execution/computation time?

[Robert Lauder]

Greetings all, I will appreciate your help in figuring out how to obtain the time taken to execute the "fit" procedure in gnuplot (in Windows). i.e. I want to figure out how long does it take to estimate the fit parameters. Any suggestions on how to accomplish this (in Windows)?

[Gabriel Dupras]

You could use the time function before and after the fit. Something like this:

t1 = time(0.0)
fit f(x) 'data.txt' via a
t2 = time(0.0)
print t2 - t1

Thank you very much. This works for me!
