Regression Analysis - Trend Line

[Rene]

Hi,

 

I have a series that is based on the following:

x (horizontal) axis:  12 months for current year.

y (vertical) axis:  inches of rain that fell in that month (units is inch)

 Now, I have my series data and all charts well. 

The one thing I also have is the starting point (pt A) and end point (pt B) for a simple linear regression line that I need to draw a straight line from pt A to pt B to show the trend over time.  Point A will reside in the first column (January) and point B will reside in the last column (December).  ( I am using canvas for the charting).

I would prefer to do this with the 2 end points I already have as opposed to determining each point for each month to create a different chart series based on these points where due to rounding et al - which could result in this new curve not being perfectly perfectly straight.

So I guess in short, is it possible to draw a straight line from month 1 to month 12 on a chart knowing only 2 points where the line would be inserted via svg et al at dynamically?

 Thanks,

 Rene.

Hello Rene,

It is possible to draw a line(or any shape) on the chart by the drawing API and the approach demonstrated in the example from this documentation topic.

Thanks Daniel.  I ended up obtaining all points for the trend line using the linear function - and it works great.

From what you mention, this does address another target I have - the ability of adding some lines of text below the legend (when below the x axis).  Is there a sample that would address this requirement?

 Thank You.

Hello again Rene,

I created an example that demonstrates drawing text below the legend.
