Hello

I was wondering if someone could explain to me the best way fit a curve in
Root. I have a 1D histrogram with a non-gaussian or non-exponential
distribution ( actually a Breit-Wigner distribution) and need to do a
maximun likelihood fit on the curve. Could someone please give me a hint
on the easiest way to fit this curve?

Thanks,
