Ben, not so far, but it's an interesting possibility. Can you give me an example of a 2D data set with peaks and the kind of information your would like to obtain from a 2D peak fitter program?

Version 3.6: February, 2013. Addition of fixed-position Gaussian (shape 16) and fixed-position Lorentzian (shape 17). See example 19 on http://terpconnect.umd.edu/~toh/spectrum/InteractivePeakFitter.htm.

Thanks, Rems. Normally the easy way to add a new peak type to either peakfit.m or its interactive cousin ipf.m is to cannibalize one of the other shapes that you are not using and that has the same variable structure. Unfortunately none of my current peak types have separate fixed parameters for each peak, so it's a non-trivial job. Do you want the peak widths to be individually fit by the program or do you want all of the widths to be constrained to be equal? If all the widths were preset and fixed, and only the peak heights needed to be fit, then the problem is MUCH simpler and you use multilinear regression to obtain an instant solution (http://terpconnect.umd.edu/~toh/spectrum/CurveFittingB.html).

Tom, it works very well for me. Thank you!
The start and the end position of the peaks would also help me… the definition of 1% of the peak amplitude would be great.
