Smooth This functionality allows a user to smooth the current view in the plot window. The data will remain visible, but a smoothed line will be drawn overlaid on the data. (If "Show Points" is turned off using the Options menu, the smoothed line can appear even when the points do not.) Various controls are used. A menu of smoother types, which at present contain only two simple smoothers: mean and median of a running window. The smoothing window size and the amount of the step are set by two scrollbars. Smoothing is done in a regression sense, on vertical with the window based on horizontal distance, at the world data level. Differently colored points are separately smoothed, that is, each color is treated as a group. Plot1D - variable values are smoothed in windows on the texturing variable (if dotplotting), or on the density plot (if using average shifted histograms). XYPlot - Y values are smoothed in windows based on X distance. Rotate, Tour, Corr - current projection is smoothed. NOTE, the smoothed lines are somewhat transient. Changing plot modes or exposing or resizing the XGobi window will erase the lines.
