CLsqFit:GetNumChannels

The GetNumChannels method returns the number of channels being fit. The number of channels defaults to 1 unless SetNumChannels was called before adding the sample points.

Syntax

nChannels = CLsqFit:GetNumChannels()

where

nChannels is the number of channels to use, in the range 1 to 4.

The GetNumChannels method fetches the number of channels used by the point values. The number of channels either defaults to 1 for numeric data, or was set using the SetNumChannels method. The number of channels is in the range 1 through 4.

Examples

The following script sets 3 channels, adds data points, and fetches the number of channels in use:

L = CLsqFit:new()	-- create a CLsqFit object
L:SetNumChannels( 3 )	-- specify 3 channel data
L:AddPt( 3.5, "5,240.4,140" )	-- add a point for x = 3.5 and y = "5,240.4,140"
	-- add more points
L:Fit()	-- compute the fit
n = L:GetNumChannels()	-- get the number of channels in use
Printf( "nChan= %d\n", n )	-- result: nChan= 3

The next example does not call SetNumChannels, so the default number of channels, 1, is used. The script adds data points and then fetches the number of channels in use:

L = CLsqFit:new()	-- create a CLsqFit object
L:AddPt( 3.5, 12.25 )	-- add a point for x = 3.5 and y = 12.25
	-- add more points
L:Fit()	-- compute the fit
n = L:GetNumChannels()	-- get the number of channels in use
Printf( "nChan= %d\n", n )	-- result: nChan= 1
