Fityk Wiki

The wiki here is complementary to the manual.

GitHub has an issue tracker, but so far the main "issue tracker" is the TODO file + mailing lists for communication (see the home page).

This is the best place for user-contributed articles, HOWTOs, hints or images. You are encouraged to contribute.

for developers

• fityk-dev mailing list
• libfityk: the official API is documented in [source:trunk/src/fityk.h fityk.h] (doxygen-generated docs). This is a small subset of the libfityk API, but the rest can change at any time.
• Python, Lua and other bindings use the same functions.
• Bindings for other languages supported by SWIG can be easily generated.

not only for fityk users
