Description

Get the peak width of a curve at half the maximum Y value.

Syntax

double fwhm( Curve & crv, double dYoffset = 0 )

Parameters

crv: [input] Origin C Curve object
dYoffset: [input] Y offset subtracted from curve

Return

Returns the peak width of a curve at half the maximum Y value.

Examples

EX1

// This is a self contained sample program for the function fwhm, 
// Its sample data is created at the beginning of the program. 
// To run the program, enter the following command in the Script window:
//   fwhm_ex1
// This will return the result like following:
//   fwhm_ex1
// It returns like:
//   The peak width of Data2_B at the half max = 2.56744 (with offset=0.5)
