ChartDirector 7.0 (Perl Edition)

Parametric Curve Fitting




This example demonstrates parametric curve fitting.

In addition to linear regression, ChartDirector also supports polynomial, exponential and logarithmic regression. To create these curves, a TrendLayer object is created using XYChart.addTrendLayer, and the regressive type is set using TrendLayer.setRegressionType.
