Scatter with Regression Plots
Contents
To insert a Scatter with Regression plot,
1. Select the Insert→2D Plots→Scatter with Regression command (Figure 11.62).

2. Click (or click-drag) on your layout where you want the plot to appear.
Note: The plot will appear showing data from the top Spreadsheet, i.e., the Spreadsheet which was most recently selected or edited. The top Spreadsheet is the one most recently accessed.
3. Change the X- and Y-axes to the desired parameters.
To Format a Scatter with Regression Plot:
1. Right click on the plot.
2. Choose Format to access plot formatting options.
3. Choose the Regression fit category.
In the regression fit category you may choose the Regression Type (Figure 11.63) from the dropdown list of available regression curve equations to best fit your data.

Note that multiple fits may be added or removed by using the Add and Remove buttons under the Regression Model List. The Regression Model Options also allow you to see the model parameters and enter a fixed parameter where applicable (Figure 11.64). The model parameters may later be added to a layout as live-updating tokens via Scatter with Regression Tokens.
You may also increase the Number of regression dots to give the curve a smoother appearance, though the default of "30" is sufficient in most cases.

Parameters for the regression model are displayed on the right and a fixed parameter may be typed in the Fixed column. Note in the example that the line was forced through zero by adding a fixed value of "0" to the column.
