You mean this

    
http://gwyddion.net/documentation/user-guide-en/leveling-and-background.html#polynomial-level

and this

    http://gwyddion.net/documentation/user-guide-en/tools.html#tool-polynom

?

And this is the list of levelling capabilities in Gwyddion:
Tool: Three Point Level
Tool: Path Level
Tool: Polynomial Level
Data Process → Level → Facet Level
Data Process → Level → Fit Sphere
Data Process → Level → Plane Level
Data Process → Level → Level Rotate
Data Process → Level → Fix Zero
Data Process → Level → Zero Mean Value
Data Process → Grains → Level Grains
Data Process → Level → Median Level
Data Process → Level → Polynomial Background
Data Process → Level → Revolve Arc
Data Process → Correct Data → Remove Data Under Mask
Data Process → Correct Data → Modus Line Correction
Data Process → Correct Data → Median Line Correction
Data Process → Correct Data → Median Difference Line Correction
Data Process → Correct Data → Match Line Correction
Data Process → Correct Data → Step Line Correction

Well, everything has some reason...  Is the difference between maximum
and minimum data value the same in NanoRule and Gwyddion?  If it is then
it is an import bug in Gwyddion.  If it is not then levelling in
NanoRule does not physically shift the values to have zero minimum; it
just changes the visualisation.  Use Fix Zero in Gwyddion.
