You can adapt this file completely to your liking, but it should at least contain the root `toctree` directive. PyModelFit: model-fitting framework and GUI tool ================================================ :Author: `Erik Tollerud `_ PyModelFit is a package that provides a pythonic, object-oriented framework that simplifies the task of designing numerical models to fit data. This is a very broad task, and hence the current functionality of PyModelFit focuses on the simpler tasks of 1D curve-fitting, including a GUI interface to simplify interactive work (using Enthought Traits). For more complicated modeling, PyModelFit also provides a wide range of classes and a framework to support more general model/data types (2D to Scalar, 3D to Scalar, 3D to 3D, and so on). .. note :: This project is a spin off of `Astropysics `_, although it doesn't require astropysics. Contents: .. toctree:: :maxdepth: 3 start over gui core builtins Quick Install ============= See :doc:`start` for full install instructions. To install the current release of pymodelfit, the simplest approach is:: pip install pymodelfit (on unix-like systems or OS X, add "sudo " before this command) Note that you must have `numpy `_ and `scipy `_ installed, although the installer should install them for you if they are not already present. To use the FitGUI, you will need `Traits `_, `TraitsGUI `_, and `Chaco `_. Bug Reports =========== Please report any bugs encountered to the `github issue tracker `_.
