Hello, I am a neophyte to Minuit. I have never used it in fortran or in Root. My question concerns the example program from http://root.cern.ch/root/html/examples/Ifit.C.html I loaded it and it worked nicely. What confuses me is the global variables Float_t z[5],x[5],y[5],errorz[5]; In, for example, numerical recipes, the minimizer is passed three arrays, x,y and sigma which contain the data to be fitted. It seems that TMinuit requires hard-coded globals for the data. Is this the case or have I missed the point?
