Re: New to Gnumeric -- attempting to plot data]

[Richard Owlett <rowlett cloud85 net>]

R is not suitable - I read https://www.r-project.org/about.html .
My input is a time sequence which when plotted should be a strait line.
It wasn't.
I chose to plot [x(n+1) - x(n)] as a function of n.
I needed to investigate area around discontinuities.

Adrian's post solved my problem.
Thanks
