Add Lines and Functions to Graphs

Fathom allows you to add lines or curves to numeric graphs (graphs that have at least one numeric attribute on at least one axis) or to function plots. You can add movable lines, plot values, plot a distribution (on a histogram), plot functions, or add fitted lines (to scatter plots). (See Subsections listed below.)

When you have at least one line or curve plotted on a scatter plot, you can also add a residual plot to the graph. (See Make a Residual Plot.)

Most of these features are found in the Graph menu, which appears between the Collection and Window menus when a graph is selected.
