Gnuplot is a portable commandline driven graphing utility for windows, linux, os2, osx, vms, and many other platforms. Accordingly, you expect that the gaussian is essentially limited to the mean plus or minus 3 standard deviations, or an approximate support of 12, 12. In any case, i still need to do the fitting, so anyone has any experience with this and could point out some help. I know that a normal function dictates that the integral go to 1, but is there any way to keep the shape, just make it bigger so that it can plot on top of my data x range 200, 200 y range 250, 250. We also note that there is a background under the peak, that is, counts in addition to the gaussian peak. It was originally created to allow scientists and students to visualize mathematical functions and data interactively, but has grown to support many noninteractive.
Any userdefined variable occurring in the expression may serve as a fit parameter, but the return type of the expression must be real. Gnuplot has a gif output terminal, but the result will be smoother if we first create png files with gnuplot and then the animated gif file with another program. This can be done with gnuplot using its support for user functions and the smooth frequency command. First, note that your data points are in a row, you need to convert it to columns for gnuplot to use it. First i show how to fit with straight line and then with a parabola. You can also save the graphs to a variety of image formats, including png, svg, jpeg and eps. Any userdefined variable occurring in the function body may serve as a fit parameter, but the return type of the function must be real. Octave has functions for computing the probability density function pdf, the cumulative distribution function cdf, and the quantile the inverse of the cdf for a large number of distributions.
