Name of graph

[Richard Heyes-4]

Hi,

Anyone know what the line in the first bar chart is called? I call it
a "summary" line, but that's wrong. ISTR it being referred to
something that involved the word "frequency", but I may be off my
trolley...

You'll need a browser other then MSIE to see them. Thanks.

How about just 'axis' ?

I need to add - your line in the first barchart isn't actually a trend
nor is it very linear :-)  That line is just a different representation
(line graph) of the same numbers.

A trend line computed by linear regression would be like this:

Yes, all it does it connect the tops of the bars. Much like a line
graph would be with the same values.

I've always called it "Timmy" -- but you may call it whatever you want.

The "summary" line, as shown on your chart, is simply a line graph,
there is no specific name for it that I am aware -- unless you want
to make one up -- after all, it's your chart.

You may call it whatever you want, provided the term is not used for
something else. For example, it is not a trend line, nor an axis, nor
a regression, nor series average line -- it's simply a line graph.

BTW -- What is it with you and graphs? Are you creating a library for charting?

Cheers,

tedd

PS: Per Jesse was correct about the trend line.

I really recommend it. It's one of Guy Ritchies films before Madonna got
involved and started messing his films up for him!
