- Nicer sheet object with hidden column & row header and no margin
- Mini Toolbar to customize band colors, grid style, frame & grid color and thickness.
- Increasing/decreasing font size will automatically adjust table cell size
- Grid and frame customization kept when retrieving other updates from worksheet
Double-Y Graphs in Single Layer
Version 2023 supports plotting Double-Y graphs in a single layer, allowing easier manipulation and analysis of plotted data:
- Set scale of right Y axis to be independent of left Y
- Easily assign or switch plots to be associated with left or right Y axis
- Work with sub group of plots based on left or right Y axis
- Gadgets and other analysis tools will work on all curves in layer and will appropriately use the associated Y scale of the plot
Smart Skipping of Symbols for Large Datasets
In OriginPro and Origin 2023, new methods have been added to skip symbols when plotting large datasets as symbol or line+symbol plots. This allows for a nicer presentation of data while maintaining overall features of the data. All analysis operations on graph will take into account the entire dataset. The control is available in the "Drop Lines" tab of "Plot Details" dialog
- Select between "Total Points Kept" or "Percentage of Points Skipped"
- Select from multiple skip methods (Largest Triangle, Y-threshold, Data Distance Threshold, Douglas-Peucker-Hull, Largest Triangle for Segments)
Line-Symbol Plot with automatic X value sorting
Perform automatic X value sorting of data in line or line-symbol plots without having to sort the worksheet columns. This is particularly useful when you have multiple columns in a worksheet and want to plot any two columns against each other, without having to reorder the worksheet rows.
Apply x value sorting to a particular data plot with this LabTalk script command: layer.plot1.line.sortx=1;
Once sorted, the graph can be saved as a template for future use, if desired.
Angle Annotation Tool
In OriginPro und Origin 2023, a new tool for angle annotation in graphs has been added.
- Click and select three points in a graph to add the angle annotation
- Further customize the annotation using Mini Toolbar or properties dialog
Text Box and Page/Layer Title
New Mini Toolbar buttons and properties have been added to support Layer and Page level titles in OriginPro and Origin 2023:
- For layer title, use layer level Mini Toolbar and click on the "Add Layer Title" button
- For page title, use page level Mini Toolbar and click on the "Add Page Title" button
- A center-aligned title box will be added, with wrap text enabled
- Size of box can be set as % of layer/page. The % setting will be maintained when layer/page is resized.
- Adding more text or increasing font size will result in auto wrapping. The centering and width will be maintained.
