Folks,

I just discovered the secret of my failed business plan:

"Make stuff people want, rather than trying to make
people want your stuff."

So, here is a question. What do you want? What do you need? I'm looking
for ideas. :-)

Cheers,

David

One thing that I would find super handy is a program that makes a best fit line (like http://www.idlcoyote.com/gallery/scatter_plot_2d.png), but is general in that it works with the MPFIT functions (and with auto- and cross-correlation).

Not sure if this falls into your new business strategy, though...

This was done years ago by Rob Dimeo about two hours after had dinner
with him and explained how IDL objects worked. It's called PAN:
