::
    
    from PyAstronomy import pyaC
    import matplotlib.pylab as plt
    import numpy as np
    
    x = np.linspace(-10, 10, 1000)
    
    # Computer polynomial and its derivatives
    # (quasi analytically)
    y = [np.poly1d((0.03, -0.31, 0.4, 0.35, 1.4))]
    for i in range(4):
        y.append(y[-1].deriv())
    
    # Compute derivates numerically and compare to
    # analytic solution
    erro = 2
    for i in range(1, 5):
        indi, der = pyaC.diffCFD(x, np.polyval(y[0], x), i, erro)
        plt.plot(x[indi], np.polyval(y[i], x[indi]), 'b.')
        plt.plot(x[indi], der, 'r--')
        plt.show()
