Fityk Wiki

The wiki here is complementary to the manual.

GitHub has an issue tracker, but so far the main "issue tracker" is the TODO file + mailing lists for communication (see the home page).

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

tutorials and screenshots

• Basic GUI usage

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 the Read-Shockley equation to grain boundary energies
• XRD, nanopowders and the shape of peaks

algorithms

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

misc

• Fityk architecture - big picture
• the list of publications that mention using fityk

for developers

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

not only for fityk users

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