I agree. Attached find a trend for Kirk's weight both in the
table and graphed. GNUmed already supports the latter. It
can currently plot one or two (say, weight + Hb)
measurements against time. Plot templates can be created by
the user, as usual (it's a bit complicated at first,
though).

That's an excellent idea. I've put it on my TODO list for 1.3.

To at least approximate something like that we so far only
offer the text expansion macros - which are now active, in
the sense that the user can define places where she wants to
insert values after calling up an expansion. GNUmed will
then ask for values in the context of the macro template.
There's no calculations, though.
