Thank you for your overwhelming support. but I seem not to have supplied enough information to make my problem clear. My main problem is to find the appropriate class to store nonequidistant triples of data, such as: x y z 5.0 178.75 177.847 20.0 178.75 177.496 2.25 400.7 390.669 10.0 400.7 396.195 The function I want to fit to these (and more) datapoints is z=f(x,y) by adjusting 3 additional parameters (dalpha, dbeta, dn) which modify f(). I was able to produce a TF2 with this "usersupplied" function. So far so good, but I did not find a way to store these data and do a simple: whatever->Fit(). I tried TGraph, but this one accepts only two column of data, in other words z=f(x). I tested TNtuple which seems to be the right joice, but the inherited method Fit() (from TTree) accepts only a TF1 function, according to the reference guide. Sofar I succeeded by adapting the IFit.C example in the tutorial which uses migrad directly. So, I am still search for the right data-model to take ntuples of nonequidistant data and fit a multidimensional function to it, which is as easy as the one-dimensional case (Tgraph() and Fit()). Thanks again, Markus. The suggestions to solve my problem follow: On Sat, 01 May 1999, Faouzi Attallah wrote: >I hope Rene agrees with the following syntaxe.

To my knowledge, TGraph cannot cope with data consisting of more than 2 columns (i.e. x,y,z). -- --------------------------------------------------------------------- Markus Weiss "Ah elbereth glithoniel BESSY-2 Projektteam silvren penna miriel" e-mail: weiss@abbe.exp.bessy.de phone: +49-30-6392-2941 ---------------------------------------------------------------------
