Avoid using Function plot as Axis title unless it’s the only plot

Data Plot Index for Auto Axis Titles should exclude function plot unless it's the only one

When there are multiple plots (no matter data plot or function plot), Origin uses the 1st plot’s long name, unit as axis title. See the Data Plot Index for Auto Axis Titles dropdown list on Legends/Titles tab of graph node of Plot Details dialog.

So if user moves function plot as the 1st plot in graph window, F1 will show as axis title. In Origin 2023, we will skip using function plot as axis title unless it’s the only plot in graph.

Use system variable @fpt=1 to roll back to the old behavior.

Default value is 0, data highlight mode keeps when swicth to worksheet

Fit Layers to Page more accurate

Boundary is more accurate after fitting layers to page and LabTalk command is added

The margin for Fit Layer to Page is more accurate in graph.

Users can use Labtalk command to specify each margin separately.

-ml value // for left margin
-mt value // for top margin
-mr value // for right margin
-mb value // for bottom margin

All the margin values can be negative if necessary. So, for example, users graph the following will make it look tighter to also accommodate for text object rectangles of the axis titles being too large.

page -FLS -u -c 3 -ml -0.005 -mt 0.001 -mb -0.005 -mr 0.001
