New in Origin/OriginPro 2015

The following sections highlight some of the new features for Origin 2015.

Ease of Use

User Interface

Collapsible Menu & Context Menu

Origin 2015 introduces MS Office Style Collapsible Menu for some very long menus and context menus so only commonly used ones show by default. Users can access items not frequently used via the double down-arrow at the bottom of the menu.

The Project Explorer in Origin was designed to provide easy control of hierarchy project structures. In Origin 2015 it has been improved with nicer interface and find & search functionality:

View in Extra Large Icons
Graph Preview and Tool Tip
Find String Anywhere in Project

Set Column Values

Function Tool Tip in Set Column Value Dialog

The Set Column Values dialog is one of the most basic tool in Origin, which is used to carry out column-based calculation with formulas. In 2015 it is highly improved with more intuitive tool tip and function help:

Search and Insert Functions
Tool Tip for Function Syntax

Graphing and Analysis

In Origin 2015, many improvements are targeted to provide easier and user-friendlier control options with both graphing and analysis:

Batch Plotting in 3D and Contour Graph
