// STEP 3: Instruct Smoothed_Plot_Profile.bsh to use the new
//         method
// This is the easiest part. Remember which line to edit?
// Was it 64? Then go ahead and enjoy the new gaussian fit.
// Your edited line should look something like:

// [...]
// avgYvalues = super.lib.getSimpleMovingAverage(xvalues, rawYvalues);
// [...]

// BTW, the "window size" prompt no longer applies to the new
// gaussian fit. Is there a way to disable it?
// (Hint: Look for a boolean parameter)


// Discussion:
//
// Q1. If libs are just regular files and we can load any file,
//     why don't we just load executable scripts and access
//     their methods directly?
//
// Hint: What happens when you place an executable instruction
//       in, e.g., BARlib.bsh and load it using the code below?
//           addClassPath(bar.Utils.getBARDir());
//           importCommands("lib/");
//           BARlib();
//           lib = new BARlib();
//
//
// Q2. What are the disadvantages of using centralized libraries?
//
// Hint: What happens when a new version of the file becomes
//       available throught the BAR update site? How can that
//       be solved?
//
//
// Q3. Are all libs loaded through the same mechanism?
//     What about IJ macro language and Python?
//
// Hint: Create a New Python Snippet. Run the default placeholder
//       code ("lib.confirmLoading"). Are there any new files
//       added to the lib directory when the snippet runs for the
//       first time?
