------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sun Nov 23 03:21:16 +0000 2008 ------- There are many comments about this not being important as it is "faking data". That simply isn't the case. In the real world and not just on paper, there are error tolerances in what can be measured and they are often not exact. This is why you need a trendline in the first place. If you have only a small number of points there is a higher probability of the fit not meeting reality. Now, those who suggest that the data really does go through a different y intercept there are examples where it simply must be through a given point, such as zero. For example, if you plot concentration versus light absorbance then zero concentration must have zero absorbance. Extension of a spring might be another example. If there is no mass on the spring it needs to have a zero extension. The data in these examples would be MORE incorrect to have them pass through a y intercept other than zero. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
