Dear all,

I am using GD::Graph for developing an online graph - What I need is a
(GD::Graphpoints) - Graph - I have already done this and works fine, Now I
want to draw a line (best fit straight line / trends line (linear) ) through
maximum number of points in this graph and I want to
circle them also . So just tell me, is there any way to draw best fit
straight line through the maximum number of points on a GD::Graph image.


Eagerly waiting for your reply,
Thanking you in anticipation,
SK

"Best fit line" is mainly a statistical concept, and CPAN has multiple
modules for dealing with statistics. A search on http://search.cpan.org
for "best fit" turns up multiple hits, with the first one being the
documentation for Statistics::LineFit:

http://search.cpan.org/~randerson/S...tics/LineFit.pm

Using that module or one like it might be able to give you the
coordinates you need to add to your GD::Graph graph, but sorting out how
to do this will depend on how your overall code has been written.
