# This is an R-script that demonstrates how a random curve consists
# of a number of cosine and sine curves with random amplitudes.
# The script can be run in the R-environment, freely available from
# http://cran.r-project.org (Mac/Linux/Windows).
# To run, save the file as 'FT.R' in a path that R reads from
# and type 'source("FT:R")'
