Howdy,

I have a dataset recorded over time, resulting in a data array of 
[datetime, value]. This data should produce a smoothly-curving, 3rd-degree 
polynomial trendline.

When I plot this data using a LineChart, the trendline is a straight line. 
If I change the datetimes to a number, the trendline is the 
smoothly-curving line I expect:
https://jsfiddle.net/ferrellian/vyozw7sk/

You can see this in the JSFiddle by setting *useNumbers = true* to plot 
with numbers on the x-axis, or *useNumbers = false* to plot with the dates.

Additional notes:

   - I've tried setting the x-axis column data type to 'datetime', but that 
   has no effect.
   - If I plot the datetime-indexed dataset using Microsoft Excel, I get 
   the expected smoothly-curving trendline.
   - If I convert the dates to serial numbers (==large values, up in the 
   42,000s) and use those as the x-axis, the trendline remains a straight 
   line. I have to chop the numbers down to a smaller value (~5-10) before 
   Google Charts gives me a smooth-curve trendline.

Am I doing something wrong here?

Cheers,
ian
