Hi Folks,

I had a friend ask a question about IDL that I didn't know how
to answer. (Uh, math is not my strength, you understand. :-))

Suppose I have a set of raw data that is described
theoretically by two parametric equations. And suppose
I need to fit these two parametric equations to the data
since there is no mathematical way to convert the x(t)
and y(t) equations into a y(x) form. Is there a
curve fitting routine in IDL that can handle parametric
equations? Or, failing that, has anyone handled something
like this in IDL and would be willing to give us a little
help?

Many thanks,

David
