Analytics & Overlays

Add statistical context to any chart with a single toggle.

Anomaly Detection

Pro

Set a deviation threshold (0–100%) and Graph Plotter automatically highlights every data point that deviates from the mean. Each flagged point shows its percentage deviation inline.

Percentage-based threshold control
Highlighted outlier points in red
Inline % deviation labels per anomaly
Great for QC, performance monitoring, fraud spotting

Trendlines

Basic

Linear regression overlay on any line, scatter, or bar chart. Shows the underlying direction of your data independent of noise.

Linear regression best-fit line
Available on Line, Scatter, and Bar charts
Toggle on/off without re-plotting

Moving Average

Basic

5-period rolling average overlaid on your data series. Smooths out volatility to reveal underlying trends in time-series data.

5-period rolling average
Optional value labels on each MA point
Toggle independently of trendline

Month Markers

Basic

Automatic vertical marker lines placed at month boundaries. Detects month names in your axis labels, no manual setup required.

Auto-detects month names in axis labels
Vertical boundary lines with month names
Useful for weekly data spanning multiple months

Totals Box

Basic

A summary box in the chart corner showing the total or sum of plotted values. One toggle, no manual calculations.

Value Labels

Free

Formatted numeric labels on every data point. Control decimal precision from 0 to 6 places, applied consistently across the whole chart.

Flexible Data Import

Load data the way it actually lives: in spreadsheets, across sheets, in complex layouts.

Supported File Formats
