How to obtain point data from a fitting curve?












1















I plotted curves by fitting some existing points using gnuplot.



code as followings:



f1(x)=a1/(x**b1)+c1
fit f1(x) "41a091_input.txt" u 1:2 via a1,b1,c1
plot f1(x) with line lt 1 lw 4 lc rgb "blue" notitle,
'41a091_input.txt' using 1:2:3 with yerrorbars lw 2.2 lc rgb "blue" title "∑41a(091)"


Data as followings:



21.8124 1.11693 0.00545168
30.8669 1.07328 0.00485237
44.6701 1.04708 0.00411839
53.6699 1.03787 0.00301346
75.9751 1.02555 0.00304312


My question is:



How to get data from any point on this curve?
Like when x=50?

          well, you have your fitting function f1(x) and the parameters a1,b1,c1 have been fitted. So, in order to get the value at x=50, simply type print f1(50).
          Or if you want to plot it:



          ### start code
          reset session

          $Data <<EOD
          21.8124 1.11693 0.00545168
          30.8669 1.07328 0.00485237
          44.6701 1.04708 0.00411839
          53.6699 1.03787 0.00301346
          75.9751 1.02555 0.00304312
          EOD

          f1(x)=a1/(x**b1)+c1
          fit f1(x) $Data u 1:2 via a1,b1,c1
          print sprintf("a1: %g, b1: %g, c1: %g", a1,b1,c1)

          XValue = 50
          set label 1 at XValue,f1(XValue)+0.01 sprintf("f1(%g): %g",XValue,f1(XValue))
          set arrow 1 from XValue,graph 0 to XValue,graph 1 nohead ls 0

          plot f1(x) with line lt 1 lw 4 lc rgb "blue" notitle,
          $Data using 1:2:3 with yerrorbars lw 2.2 lc rgb "blue" title "∑41a(091)",
          [XValue:XValue] f1(XValue) w p lt 6 lc rgb "red" ps 2
          ### end of code


          which results in something like:
          enter image description here

          • just remove the [XValue:XValue] and see what will happen. This limits the range to one datapoint. Vertical dashed line: for example with set arrow 1 from XValue, graph 0 to XValue, graph 1 nohead ls 0 Maybe there are better ways to achieve both things.

          • Probably a better way to plot a single point plot '+' using (XValue):(f1(XValue)) w p lt 6 lc rgb "red" ps 2
