12.21.2. - Initial definitions
These first lines are included at the beginning of all fitting C modules.
#define VERSION 5 #define NUM_XS 1 /* Independent variables */ #define MAXPAR 2 /* Parameters */ #define MAXPTS 1024 /* Most points for fitting */ #define MAXPLT 1024 /* Most for pg ps md mr sA */ #include <math.h> #include <p_fitsize.h>Lines that begin with a
# are directives for the C preprocessor.
In these instances, either a manifest constant is defined or the contents
of another source file are to be included.
VERSION indicates
the version of the prototype file you are using.
Its value is used
by other preprocessor directives in the included file
p_fitsize.h
and should not be changed.
You select values for the next four definitions.
NUM_XS selects
the number of independent variables you wish to use.
Most often its
value is one, but you may have as many as you like.
Define
MAXPAR to be your total number of parameters.
Its value
must agree with the number of elements in the structure
initial defined below.
MAXPTS will be the maximum number of data points
you can fit at a time.
MAXPLT limits the number of in-core points
of the total (up to 65,636) you can send to or receive from the plot
program with the commands
pg, ps, md, mr and
sA.
