// <synopsis> 

// For every line in the lattice parallel to axis number <src>whichAxis</src>
// (often axis number 2, typically the frequency axis in a spectral line cube)
// independently fit the functions in fitter at the positions where
// <src>fitMask</src> is true. 
// </synopsis> 
//
// <example>
// Suppose one wanted to subtract a linear polynomial from every spectrum (3d
// axis) in an image. One could do this as follows:
// <srcBlock>
//    Image<Float> myImage("myimage"); // Get the image
//    uInt nchan = myImage.shape()(2); // 0 relative axis number
//    // Set up the fitter
//    Polynomial<AutoDiff<Float> > linear(1);    
//    LinearFitSVD<Float> fitter;
//    fitter.setFunction(linear);
//    Vector<Float> fittedParameters,
//
//    // Set up a mask indicating what channels we want to fit over. We want
//    // to fit over all channels.
//    Vector<Bool> fitMask(nchan); fitMask = True;
//
//    // Do the fit. True means subtract the fit from the model. In this case,
//    // We overwrite the input with the output.
//    fitProfiles (myImage, fittedParameters,fitter, myImage, 2, fitMask, True);
// </srcBlock>
// </example>
//
// <motivation>
// Baseline fitting/continuum subtraction are important functions. This
// function essentially implements the IMLIN algorithm.
// </motivation>
//
// <todo asof="1995/09/01">
//   <li> Save the model parameters in an (optional) other lattice.
//   <li> Use logging classes, rather than the raw GlishSysEventSource.
//   <li> Allow per-pixel weights.
//   <li> Allow non-linear as well as linear LSQ fits.
// </todo>
