4. In the Num Bins field, use the default value or enter the
number of vertical bins (points) you want to use to generate the
curve.
Note: Increasing this value will result in a smoother
curve.
5. In the Max Weight field, use the default value, or enter another
weighting value to use for all bins when generating the curve.
Note: The weight of each bin is equal to the number of
points in the bin up to Max Weight.

The Setup tab closes.
Generating a Bestfit Curve
Generate a Bestfit scattergraph curve after editing any required
scattergraph data and setting up the curve parameters. The
Scattergraph Reporter generates Bestfit curve coefficients after
vertically segmenting the scattergraph into equal parts (bins) and
averaging the data points within each bin to derive the Bestfit curve
points. The default enables you to generate a Bestfit curve
representing freeflow data points and backwater data points. You
also can display either the freeflow set of data points or the
backwater set of data points separately by clicking (off) the
appropriate Use box.
Generate and display a Bestfit curve for the current scattergraph
using the following steps:
1. Select View > Curves option or the Curve Properties toolbar
button.
2. Select the Bestfit tab.
