The online manual for 7.9 lists “Linear Regression” as one of the calculated pen types for the easy chart component. The description states “Will create a linear regression line for the driving pen.” I can’t find this option in the dropdown on the Easychart customizer. Is there additional documentation or is this not implemented yet?

It’s new in 7.9.4. What version are you using?

Might be worth annotating the online manual with “Since v7.9.4” or similar. Python’s online documentation has this throughout and it’s very helpful.

Already had a sticky note written to do that as soon as I’m done on the forum. 🙂

Whoops…missed the new release. This is exactly what I’ve been looking for. Thanks.
