!Intensity maps
Fitting a Gaussian function to an emission line yields measures of the line intensity, centroid (velocity) and width. Single Gaussian fits to individual lines are possible using [EIS object methods|EISmethods], while more sophisticated fitting options are available through the EIS_AUTO_FIT and SPEC_GAUSS_EIS routines available in Solarsoft. Documents describing these routines and giving examples are listed below.

Users should be aware that EIS line profiles can often take on non-Gaussian shapes which may contain valuable scientific information (e.g., [Chifor et al. 2008|http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/2008A%26A...481L..57C,], [De Pontieu et al. 2009|http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/2009ApJ...701L...1D,]).

Some emission line ratios are sensitive to the electron density, and software is available to take the line fit structures output by EIS_AUTO_FIT and convert them to electron density maps. The density then allows the emitting column depth of the plasma to be determined which in turn allows the filling factor of the plasma to be estimated. The document below describes how this done, making use of atomic data from the [CHIANTI database|http://www.chiantidatabase.org].
Deriving densities from Hinode/EIS data
!Emission measure
When line intensities are available from several different ions, then an emission measure (EM) or differential emission measure (DEM) distribution can be constructed. No specific EIS software is available for doing this and so users are referred to software in the CHIANTI database, in particular:
integral_calc.pro: computes an EM value from a single line intensity\\
chianti_dem.pro: computes a DEM distribution from multiple line intensities
Another popular DEM code is available within the [PINTofALE|http://hea-www.harvard.edu/PINTofALE/] software package.
