Re: curve fit with guppi in gnumeric

[Adrian Custer <acuster nature berkeley edu>]

The short answer is you can't yet.

the longer answer is: Jon Trowbridge added the linear fit a long time
ago as a debugging tool/proof-of-concept in the guppi stand alone app.
The stand alone doesn't exist anymore (it was extra work that didn't
need to be done). The only app now is the piece for gnumeric.

When gnumeric finally gets the graph componnent working, linear fits
will be possible to implement and may or may not actually be
implemented. I don't think this was ever meant to be a more general
fitting functionality but Jon would be the person to ask. None of this
is going to happen soon. R or gnuplot are probably better tools.

guppi-gnumeric is still very primitive as you can tell. You can't even
set a title but this will come.

guppi no longer works alone.
