Syntax:
set fit {logfile {"<filename>"}} {{no}errorvariables} unset fit show fit
The 4#4filename5#5 argument must be enclosed in single or double quotes.
If no filename is given or unset fit is used the log file is reset to its default value "fit.log" or the value of the environmental variable FIT_LOG.
If the given logfile name ends with a / or 2#2, it is interpreted to be a directory name, and the actual filename will be "fit.log" in that directory.
If the errorvariables option is turned on, the error of each fitted parameter computed by fit will be copied to a user-defined variable whose name is formed by appending "_err" to the name of the parameter itself. This is useful mainly to put the parameter and its error onto a plot of the data and the fitted function, for reference, as in:
set fit errorvariables fit f(x) 'datafile' using 1:2 via a, b print "error of a is:", a_err set label 'a=%6.2f', a, '+/- %6.2f', a_err plot 'datafile' using 1:2, f(x)
