Hi Liron,

you could use the built-in feature of make-plots to calculate a GoF measure
and display it in the Legend.

In order to make this appear, add

GofLegend=1

in the PLOT section of the input files for make-plots.

On the command line you could do this e.g. by running this command:

for i in *dat;do sed -i "s/Legend=1/Legend=1\nGofLegend=1/g" $i;done


Hope that helps,
Holger
