[proFit-list] Pro Fit and Applescript

[Nic Meyer]

thanks to everyone for their replies.

I have been trying the recording option and it sure helps.

that said, I am running into problems  of singularities when fitting my curves (which IGOR handles without complaint) so that is a new hurdle to overcome (in particular i am trying to fit lognormal curves and am wondering whether I should specify my own function for this)

given that i do need results soon i will take them from IGOR, but as a Mac user i am happy that their could well be a possibility where everything could be scripted.

cheers

Nic

In addition to the comments provided by Chris and Davide:

One way to learn about controlling pro Fit through AppleScript or a Pascal script is by exploiting the fact that pro Fit is "recordable": When you hit the "record" button in AppleScript Editor or one of pro Fit's function windows, and then execute some commands manually within pro Fit (such as fitting a function, or binning data), most of these operations will be recorded as Apple Script or Pascal statements for you. This usually gives a good starting point for writing a script. Give it a try.

I am trialling Profit for scientific data analysis and curve fitting and the program compares well with equivalent packages but with the added bonus of (apparently) being fully scriptable
