Auto trace Line & Digitize Area (ORG-4794 ORG-8906)
These two new methods help customers digitize single-line/area more simple and convenient.
- Auto Trace Line
- Digitize Area
Auto Trace Line
If Auto Trace Lines is enabled and a data point is selected as the target point, the other data points in the same curve (or more accurate, the same part of the curve) will be auto traced and picked up.
To use this, click the 
button, or use the Digitize:Auto Trace Line menu items. Then select a target point from the image by double click. When finished, click Done button or Ctrl+Enter, at this stage the Reduce Points dialog will pop up to let you specify whether to reduce the selected data points.
Digitize Area
Use the Digitize Area object (a rectangle object with grid lines in either X or Y directions) to auto select data points. The data points intersect with grid lines will be selected and picked up.
To use this tool, click the 
button, or the Digitize:Digitize Area menu items to enable, then in the original image, click and drag the cursor to select the area of the target points.
In order to change the grid direction and density, you need to select Settings:Digitize Settings from the menu item and do the settings in the Digitize Settings dialog in advance:

Now Origin can not only digitize cartesian coordinate graphs, but also polar and ternary
Ternary Coordinate
To digitize a graph in ternary coordinate system, you should define the coordinate first.
- Click the menu items Axes:Ternary Coordinate...,
- Ternary Coordinate Settings dialog pops up for you define the axes orientation in the imported image, either counter-clockwise or clockwise. Click OK to apply the settings and close dialog
- When the Ternary coordinate system is chosen, and the
button is clicked, three reference points (P1, P2 and P3) are shown in the image. Drag the points to three vertexes of the ternary plot, and set the corresponding axes value
Polar Coordinate
To digitize a graph in polar coordinate system, you should define the coordinate first.
- Click the menu item Axes: Polar Coordinate...,
