ChartDirector 5.1 (C++ Edition)

Scatter Trend Chart




This example demonstrates linear regression trend line fitting together with scatter layers.

The chart in this example has 4 layers - 2 scatter layers created using XYChart.addScatterLayer to show the data points, and two trend layers created using XYChart.addTrendLayer2 for the two trend lines.
