Description
Steve,
I am trying to fit experimental data and to get some measure (other than chi) of the quality of the fit. In the Help file, calculating a residual is mentioned and the reader is referred to text "below", but nothing else on residuals is included.
Is this not possible with the SANS data analysis macros as they currently stand? Is there some other way to enable this feature? I know it is built into the Igor least squares fitting tool, for instance.

maybe put normalized residuals (as an option) on the right axis as Jan does. Multiple data sets will be a hassle, but it's a good option to have to show the quality of fit.

done in r743:
added two more options for curve fitting information. users can no with checkboxes add residuals to the fit
graph, and add a textbox of fit information. unchecking the boxes provides the option for removing them from the graph.
-- still need to make sure that the residuals stay in sync. if they are on the graph and then use is un-selected, the re
sidual won't update with the new fit. The textbox is fine - it's automatically killed if not selected.
replied with a manual work-around... but could be added as an "advanced" panel of options
