Welcome ======= Hooke_ is software for the (semiautomatic) analysis and filtering of force curves. Force curves are the output of an analytical technique called `force spectroscopy`_. Force spectroscopy experiments usually require the analysis of thousands of force curves at a time. As of today, there is no standard, free software for the analysis of force curves. Hooke aims to solve that. .. _Hooke: http://code.google.com/p/hooke/ .. _force spectroscopy: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Force_spectroscopy Features: * View, annotate, and measure force curves * Worm-like chain and freely-jointed chain fits of force peaks * Automatic convolution-based filtering of empty curves * Automatic fit and measurement of multiple force peaks * Handles force-clamp force experiments (experimental) * Extensible by users by mean of plugins and drivers Contents ======== .. toctree:: :maxdepth: 2 install tutorial config bugs hacking hooke/hooke doc Indices and tables ------------------ * :ref:`genindex` * :ref:`modindex` * :ref:`search` .. todolist:: Publications ============ Hooke has been published [#sandal2009]_.
