Summary

[edit]
Description
English: This graph shows a series of points (generated by a Sin function) approximated by polinomial curves (red curve is linear, green is quadratic, orange is cubic and blue is 4th degree).
Italiano: Il grafo mostra una serie di punti (generati dalla funzione seno) approssimati da curve polinomiali (in rosso di primo grado, verde di secondo, arancione di terzo e verde di quarto.

Created using python with numpy and matplotlib toolboxes.

y = sin(2.*pi*x/60.+.4)

y2 = poly1d(polyfit(x,y,2))	# quadratic
y3 = poly1d(polyfit(x,y,3))	# cubic
y4 = poly1d(polyfit(x,y,4))	# 4th degree

fig = figure(figsize=(6,4))
ax = SubplotZero(fig,111)
fig.add_subplot(ax)
ax.grid(True)

ax.plot(x,y1(x),'r',label=u'linear')
