+Fityk (program for data processing and nonlinear curve fitting)
+
+Fityk [fi:tik] is a program for data processing and nonlinear curve fitting.
+
+Primarily used:
+
+- by scientists who analyze data from powder diffraction,
+chromatography, photoluminescence and photoelectron spectroscopy,
+infrared and Raman spectroscopy, and other experimental techniques;
+
+- to fit peaks -- bell-shaped functions (Gaussian, Lorentzian, Voigt,
+Pearson VII, bifurcated Gaussian, EMG, Doniach-Sunjic, etc.);
+
+but it is suitable for fitting any curve to 2D (x,y) data.
+
+Fityk is distributed under an open source licence (GPLv2+).
+
+Optional dependency: gnuplot (can be used with the CLI)
