## Class Description

~TVirtualFitter()

     Cleanup virtual fitter.

TVirtualFitter* Fitter(TObject *obj, Int_t maxpar)

     Static function returning a pointer to the current fitter.
     If the fitter does not exist, the default TFitter is created.

const char* GetDefaultFitter()

     static: return the name of the default fitter

TVirtualFitter* GetFitter()

     static: return the current Fitter

Int_t GetMaxIterations()

     static: Return the maximum number of iterations

Double_t GetErrorDef()

     static: Return the Error Definition

Double_t GetPrecision()

     static: Return the fit relative precision

void SetDefaultFitter(const char *name)

     static: set name of default fitter

void SetFitter(TVirtualFitter *fitter, Int_t maxpar)

     Static function to set an alternative fitter

void SetFCN(void (*fcn)(Int_t &, Double_t *, Double_t &f, Double_t *, Int_t))

     To set the address of the minimization objective function
     called by the native compiler (see function below when called by CINT)

void SetFCN(void *fcn)

      To set the address of the minimization objective function

         this function is called by CINT instead of the function above

void SetMaxIterations(Int_t niter)

     static: Set the maximum number of iterations

void SetErrorDef(Double_t errdef)

     static: Set the Error Definition (default=1)

void SetPrecision(Double_t prec)

     static: Set the fit relative precision
