                       O7.5 SR 2 (also O8 but not on this machine)
  I have been off the tools for a bit, joys of management :-( so sorry for the basic question.
  How can I plot the linear regression results directly onto a plot. I am pretty sure I have done this before!
  Any heads up would make an old man happy.

                       If you want to do linear fit in Origin7.5, please do the following steps:
  1. Import the data into a workbook. 2. Highlight the data, and select Plot: Line. 3. Activate the graph and select Tools: Linear Fit to open a dialog box. 4. Click Fit button, then you will get the fitted curve on the plot.
  I hope this is what you want, if not, please tell us what results you really want.

                       Hey,
  Thanks for the reply.
  My mistake for not explaining correctly.
  I was looking to display the fit results such as y = a + b * x directly onto the plot without having to manually add the text.
  Is this possible?
  Many thanks.

                       Hi Dean,
  In Origin 7.5, please select Analysis:Fit Polynomial.  In the dialog that opens, set the Order to 1 and check the "Show Formula on Graph" checkbox.

                       Laurie,
  Many thanks, I knew it was there somewhere :-)
  Not sure if your area, but is standard deviation quoted in the linear regression stat's 68% of the data i.e. 1sd?
