Yet again, I've remade the IB Physics Graphing Template. This latest version is the best one yet:

| IB Physics Graphing Template |
Try it out. It's totally free and runs in your browser: http://beepboopmachines.com/
Features:
- Graphs linear data with error bars and automatically generates a best fit, a steepest (max) fit, and a shallowest (min) fit.
- You can reshape the trendlines by clicking and dragging them if you happen to not like the auto-generated trendlines.
- Produces feedback about your data and graph. This will help you check to make sure you didn't miss anything important (like a graph title), and can also help you identify important talking points for a conclusion or evaluation.
- Runs in your browser for compatibility with Windows, Mac, Linux, and even mobile or tablet!
- You can share your graph as a URL if you want other people to work with your example. Great for teachers making examples, scaffolding, or tutorials.
- Data table automatically grows to handle large amounts of data
- You can enter data in a variety of forms: decimal (eg 0.00045), scientific (eg 4.5x10^-4), percentages (eg, 15%), and bizarro calculator format (eg, 4.5E-4)
- The overall size, gridlines, titles, labels, units, and symbols in the graph can be edited by clicking anywhere on the title, legend, or axis labels.

Let me know in the comments what you think. Some known issues:
- I haven't tested the application in every browser and OS.
- Sometimes produces some pretty extreme max and min slopes. I haven't developed a good algorithm to handle every case. Drag the lines around if it comes up with lines you're not happy with
- The performance of the program will drop as you add more and more data.
