Analysis

The analysis panel sits to the right of the plot and is always active for 1D plots (collapse/expand with the panel border). For 2D grid scans and image views, click Analyze on a cross-section cut to send it to the analysis panel.

Axis controls

Control Description
Log X Toggle logarithmic X axis
Log Y Toggle logarithmic Y axis
Derivative Plot dY/dX instead of Y; use Smooth to pre-smooth before differentiating (1–99 points). The derivative is always plotted on the right Y-axis.

Trace style

Select a trace in the legend to customize its appearance:

Control Options
Line style None, Solid, Dash, Dot, Dash-dot
Line width 1–6
Marker Circle, Square, Diamond, Triangle, Cross, X, None
Color Custom color picker; click Reset to restore the default palette color

Statistics

The panel displays statistics for the active trace: peak position, peak value, min, max, mean, standard deviation, center of mass, and FWHM.

Curve fitting

Select a model from the dropdown and click Fit. Enable Fit between cursors to restrict the fit to the data between C1 and C2.

Model Function
Linear y = m·x + b
Quadratic y = c₀ + c₁·x + c₂·x²
Cubic y = c₀ + c₁·x + c₂·x² + c₃·x³
Gaussian y = A·exp(−(x−μ)²/2σ²) + offset
Negative Gaussian y = −A·exp(−(x−μ)²/2σ²) + offset
Lorentzian y = A·γ²/((x−μ)²+γ²) + offset
Negative Lorentzian y = −A·γ²/((x−μ)²+γ²) + offset
Exponential y = A·exp(−d·x) + offset
Error Function y = A·erf((x−μ)/σ) + offset
Top Hat Step function: rise at left, fall at right, with Gaussian-smoothed edges

The fit curve is overlaid on the plot. Fit parameters and an R² quality score are displayed below the controls.

Dual cursors

Place cursors directly on the plot:

Action Cursor
Right-click on plot Place C1
Alt+Right-click on plot Place C2
Middle-click on plot Place C2

Enable Snap to lock cursors to the nearest data point on the active trace. The panel shows Δx, Δy, and the midpoint between C1 and C2.

Panel position

Click the dock button in the analysis panel header to toggle between docking on the right side and docking at the bottom of the screen.
