2008-12-05 Thread Marty Pitts
Hi, I am currently working my way through the .pdf Byte of Python tutorial by Swaroop, C H After about 1/2 way I ran into a problem that my own trouble shooting has failed :-(. The script created is for backing up files into a .zip format. It is written by the author in a *nix environment.

When you say linear, I'm assuming fitting y=mx+c, and passing through points? The line through points (x1, y1) and (x2,y2) is y - y1 = (y2-y1) / (x2-x1) * (x-x1) That multiplies out to: y = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1) * x - (y2-y1)/(x2-x1) + y1 That gives m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1) and c = y1 - (y2-y1)/(x2-x1
