                                   GwyDataField *mask,
                                   gint col,
                                   gint row,

#### Parameters

data_field | A data field |
mask | Mask of values to take values into account, or `NULL` for full `data_field` . Values equal to 0.0 and below cause corresponding `data_field` samples to be ignored, values equal to 1.0 and above cause inclusion of corresponding `data_field` samples. The behaviour for values inside (0.0, 1.0) is undefined (it may be specified in the future). |
col | Upper-left column coordinate. |
row | Upper-left row coordinate. |
width | Area width (number of columns). |

                                        gdouble *pby);

### gwy_data_field_fit_plane ()

    void
    gwy_data_field_fit_plane (GwyDataField *data_field,
                              gdouble *pa,
                              gdouble *pbx,
                              gdouble *pby);

#### Parameters

data_field | A data field. |
pa | Where constant coefficient should be stored (or `NULL`). |
pbx | Where x plane coefficient should be stored (or `NULL`). |
pby | Where y plane coefficient should be stored (or `NULL`). |

### gwy_data_field_fit_facet_plane ()

    gboolean
    gwy_data_field_fit_facet_plane (GwyDataField *data_field,
                                    GwyDataField *mfield,

                                    gdouble *pbx,
                                    gdouble *pby);

Calculates the inclination of a plane close to the dominant plane in a data field.

The dominant plane is determined by taking into account larger local slopes with exponentially smaller weight.

This is the basis of so-called facet levelling algorithm. Usually, the plane found by this method is subtracted using `gwy_data_field_plane_level()` and the entire process is repeated until it converges. A convergence criterion may be sufficiently small values of the x and y plane coefficients. Note that since `gwy_data_field_plane_level()` uses pixel-based lateral coordinates, the coefficients must be divided by gwy_data_field_get_dx(data_field) and gwy_data_field_get_dy(data_field) to obtain physical plane coefficients.

#### Parameters

data_field | A data field. |
mfield | Mask specifying which values to take into account/exclude, or `NULL`. |
masking | Masking mode to use. |
pa | Where constant coefficient should be stored (or `NULL`). |
pbx | Where x plane coefficient should be stored. |
pby | Where y plane coefficient should be stored. |

#### Returns

`TRUE` if any plane was actually fitted; `FALSE` if there was an insufficient number of unmasked pixels.

                                 GwyInterpolationType interpolation);

                              GwyOrientation orientation);

Independently levels profiles on each row/column in a data field.

Lines that have no intersection with area selected by `ulcol` , `ulrow` , `brcol` , `brrow` are always leveled as a whole. Lines that have intersection with selected area, are leveled using polynomial coefficients computed only from data inside (or outside for `exclude` = `TRUE`) the area.

row | Upper-left row coordinate. |

                                gdouble *coeffs);

                                     gdouble *coeffs);

Fits a two-dimensional polynomial to a rectangular part of a data field.

The coefficients are stored by row into `coeffs` , like data in a datafield. Row index is y-degree, column index is x-degree.

row | Upper-left row coordinate. |
width | Area width (number of columns). |

                                          const gdouble *coeffs);

                                 gint col_degree,
                                 gint row_degree,
                                 gdouble *coeffs);

### gwy_data_field_area_fit_legendre ()

    gdouble *
    gwy_data_field_area_fit_legendre (GwyDataField *data_field,
                                      gint col,
                                      gint row,
                                      gint width,

                                      gdouble *coeffs);

Fits two-dimensional Legendre polynomial to a rectangular part of a data field.

The `col_degree` and `row_degree` parameters limit the maximum powers of x and y exactly as if simple powers were fitted, therefore if you do not intend to interpret contents of `coeffs` youself, the only difference is that this method is much more numerically stable.

The coefficients are organized exactly like in `gwy_data_field_area_fit_polynom()`, but they are not coefficients of x^n y^m, instead they are coefficients of P_n(x) P_m(x), where P are Legendre polynomials. The polynomials are evaluated in coordinates where first row (column) corresponds to -1.0, and the last row (column) to 1.0.

Note the polynomials are normal Legendre polynomials that are not exactly orthogonal on a discrete point set (if their degrees are equal mod 2).

#### Parameters

data_field | A data field. |
col | Upper-left column coordinate. |
row | Upper-left row coordinate. |
width | Area width (number of columns). |
height | Area height (number of rows). |
col_degree | Degree of polynomial to fit column-wise (x-coordinate). |
row_degree | Degree of polynomial to fit row-wise (y-coordinate). |
coeffs | An array of size (`row_degree` +1)*(`col_degree` +1) to store the coefficients to, or `NULL` (a fresh array is allocated then). |

#### Returns

Either `coeffs` if it was not `NULL`, or a newly allocated array with coefficients.

                                           const gdouble *coeffs);

Subtracts a two-dimensional Legendre polynomial fit from a rectangular part of a data field.

row | Upper-left row coordinate. |
width | Area width (number of columns). |
height | Area height (number of rows). |
max_degree | Maximum total polynomial degree, that is the maximum of m+n in x^n y^m terms. |

#### Parameters

data_field | A data field. |
mask_field | Mask of values to take values into account, or `NULL` for full `data_field` . Values equal to 0.0 and below cause corresponding `data_field` samples to be ignored, values equal to 1.0 and above cause inclusion of corresponding `data_field` samples. The behaviour for values inside (0.0, 1.0) is undefined (it may be specified in the future). |
nterms | The number of polynomial terms to take into account (half the number of items in `term_powers` ). |
term_powers | Array of size 2*`nterms` describing the terms to fit. Each terms is described by a couple of powers (powerx, powery). |
exclude | Interpret values `w` in the mask as 1.0-`w` . |

                                          GwyDataField **results);

Fits a plane through neighbourhood of each sample in a rectangular part of a data field.

The sample is always in the origin of its local (x,y) coordinate system, even if the neighbourhood is not centered about it (e.g. because sample is on the edge of data field). Z-coordinate is however not centered, that is `GWY_PLANE_FIT_A` is normal mean value.

#### Parameters

data_field | A data field. |
size | Neighbourhood size (must be at least 2). It is centered around each pixel, unless `size` is even when it sticks to the right. |
col | Upper-left column coordinate. |
row | Upper-left row coordinate. |
width | Area width (number of columns). |
height | Area height (number of rows). |
nresults | The number of requested quantities. |
types | The types of requested quantities. |
results | An array to store quantities to, may be `NULL` to allocate a new one which must be freed by caller then. If any item is `NULL`, a new data field is allocated for it, existing data fields are resized to `width` x `height` . |

#### Returns

An array of data fields with requested quantities, that is `results` unless it was `NULL` and a new array was allocated.
