4 Hooke_ is software for the (semiautomatic) analysis and filtering of
5 force curves. Force curves are the output of an analytical technique
6 called `force spectroscopy`_. Force spectroscopy experiments usually
7 require the analysis of thousands of force curves at a time. As of
8 today, there is no standard, free software for the analysis of force
9 curves. Hooke aims to solve that.

16 * View, annotate, and measure force curves
17 * Worm-like chain and freely-jointed chain fits of force peaks
18 * Automatic convolution-based filtering of empty curves
19 * Automatic fit and measurement of multiple force peaks
20 * Handles force-clamp force experiments (experimental)
21 * Extensible by users by mean of plugins and drivers

59 Remember that Hooke is still experimental software! It has been
60 mostly done to fit the needs of its authors, and there is no guarantee
61 it will do what you need. However, you can write us/help us improve
