<p><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Book Antiqua",serif;color:black">I’m writing my own program for extracting the parameters you need to report in a paper and automatically generate a report I can send the users. One of the features of it is making
a graph in the PDF of each result for quick viewing, and making a CSV for the engineers (since most of them are examining their data in various engineering graphic packages like Origion, since they just want to see what peaks are present).

second, but what is the rest of it doing?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
