SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on finding software solutions for graphing and data analysis, specifically for non-linear graphs with two curves and a connecting linear line. Users seek tools that can either sample points from a drawn graph to create a spreadsheet or generate a best fit equation from the graph. CurveExpert, a previously available program, is mentioned as a tool that allows manual point selection and basic best fit calculations, although it lacks comprehensive features for the user's needs.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of non-linear graphing techniques
  • Familiarity with data analysis and best fit equations
  • Basic knowledge of spreadsheet software for data manipulation
  • Experience with graphing software tools
NEXT STEPS
  • Research advanced features of CurveExpert for non-linear graphing
  • Explore alternatives to CurveExpert for best fit equation generation
  • Learn about non-linear regression techniques in software like R or Python
  • Investigate graphing tools that support custom point selection and data export
USEFUL FOR

Data analysts, mathematicians, and software developers interested in graphing non-linear data and generating best fit equations will benefit from this discussion.

I am looking for any program which would allow me to do one of the following:

1) Freedraw a graph and have a set number of samples taken from that graph and create a spreadsheet (x-y)

2) Freedraw a graph and have a best fit equation made

3) Given x-y arrays, create a best fit equation for them


IMPORTANT to know that the graph is non-linear, and consists of two curves and a linear line connecting the curves.

A program called CurveExpert formerly was available (downloadable). It was not fancy enough to do everything you listed, but at least you could select the points you want to include and enter them manually, and then use the commands and menus to find the best fit that you want.
