Welcome to *kafe*, the Karlsruhe Fit Environment
================================================

   **kafe** is a data fitting framework designed for use in undergraduate
   physics lab courses. It provides a basic Python toolkit for fitting
   models to data as well as visualisation of the data and the model function.
   It relies on Python packages such as :py:mod:`numpy` and :py:mod:`matplotlib`,
   and uses the Python interface to the minimizer `Minuit` contained in the data
   analysis framework `ROOT` or in the Python package `iminuit`.
