=head1 NAME

Ifeffit - Perl interface to the IFEFFIT XAFS Analysis library.

=head1 SYNOPSIS

    use Ifeffit;
    use Ifeffit qw(put_scalar put_string put_array);
    use Ifeffit qw(get_scalar get_string get_array);

    my ($kmin, $my_file, $file_type ) = (0.01, "Cu.xmu", "xmu");
    put_scalar("rbkg", 1.1);
    put_scalar("kmin", $kmin);
    put_string("filename", $my_file);

    ifeffit(" read_data($my_file, prefix= my,");
    ifeffit("           type= $file_type)");
    ifeffit(" newplot (energy, xmu ) ");

    my $e0 = get_scalar("e0");
    print "e0 = $e0 , rbkg  = " ,get_scalar("rbkg"), "\n";

=head1 DESCRIPTION

The Ifeffit Perl Module gives access to the ifeffit library for XAFS
analysis.  The module provides seven perl functions - B<ifeffit>,
B<put_scalar>, B<get_scalar>, B<put_string>, B<get_string>, B<put_array>,
and B<get_array>.  The B<ifeffit> is always provided (ie, exported by the
"use Ifeffit;" pragma), but the other commands must be explicitly imported,
as shown above.

=head2 ifeffit

The ifeffit function provides the main interface to the ifeffit engine.
The character string argument is interpreted as an ifeffit command.
Ifeffit returns 0 if a valid command is sent and fully processed, -1 if a
partial command has been sent (so that it will be expecting the rest of the
command next), 1 if the "quit" command has been sent, and other non-zero
valuses on error.  The syntax for and meaning of command lines to ifeffit
is described in I<The Ifeffit Reference Manual> of the Ifeffit
distribution.  The syntax for the perl function is

C<$i = ifeffit("plot(my.x,  my.y)");>

=head2 put_scalar

This sets the value of a named scalar in the list of ifeffit data.
The set value is returned on successful execution.  The syntax is

C<$i = put_scalar("kweight", 2.0);>.

which is equivalent to

C<$i = ifeffit("kweight = 2.0");>

But having a choice seems like the perl way.

=head2 get_scalar

This returns the value of a named ifeffit scalar. The syntax is

C<$value = get_scalar("x");>

=head2 put_string

This sets the value of a named ifeffit string.  The value is returned
on successful execution.  The syntax is

C<$i = put_text("home", "the merry old land of oz");>.

The same effect could be achieved with the command

C<$i = ifeffit("set \$home = 'the merry old land of oz'");>.

but B<put_text> takes care of the icky leading dollar sign, and returns the
string instead of a simple exit status.

=head2 get_string

This returns the value of a named ifeffit string.  The syntax is

C<$bg = get_string("plot_bg");>

=head2 put_array

This copies a perl array of numeric values to an ifeffit array.
The syntax is

C<put_array("my.array",\@array);>

which creates (or overwrites) the ifeffit array I<my.array>, and fill it
with the values of the perl array I<@array>.  Note that the B<reference> to
the array is passed into B<put_array>, not the whole array itself!

=head2 get_array

This gets the values of an ifeffit array of numeric values. The syntax is

C<@array = get_array("my.array");>

which will fill the perl array B<@array> with the ifeffit array
I<my.array>.
