More skip data points options in plot

Smart skip point options based on data density and shape

For scatter plots and line+symbol plost, go to the Drop Lines tab.

Two Smart Skip options are added:

• Smart Skip(Total Points Kept) keeps the number of points set and skips the other points based on data density and shape.

• Smart Skip(% of Points Skipped) keeps the percentage of points set and skips the other points based on data density and shape.

System Variable @SMM determines the method used for Smart Skip:

^{0: Largest Triangle}

^{1: Y-threshold}

^{2: Data Distance Threshold}

^{3: Douglas-Peucker-Hull}

^{4: Largest Triangle for Segments(default)}

LT controlled can be used to specify starting skip points. In the example below, 10 means start to perform skip from the 10th row in the workbook data.

layer.plot1.symbol.skipstart=10

Toggle layer, plot & graphic object’s selectability

LabTalk command and mini toolbar button to set whether or not layer, plot, or graphic objects are selectable.

• Set plot, graphic object or layer to be unselectable so users can not click to select it in graph and edit it with mini toolbar or regular toolbars, etc.

• Clicking the item in Object Manager is always supported. Users can then use the mini toolbar button to turn selectability back on.

• Corresponding LabTalk property for graphic objects object.mouse=0 not selectable or 1 selectable

• For layers in graphs, selectability can also be globally (it is an Origin setting) prohibited by setting @GRLS=0.

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 the 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 the graph.

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

Batch Plotting Short Name

Better handling of Batch Plotting Short Name numbers.

Short Name starting with G09 will increment to G10 instead of G010.

Data highlight mode when switching to worksheet

System variable to quit data highlight mode when switching to worksheet

Set System Variable @QDHT=1, data highlight some data points in graph and switch to worksheet, escape the data highlight mode and allow to plot directly with partial data selected.

Default value is 0, data highlight mode kept when switching to worksheet.

Hide Legend for Function Plots

Option to hide function plot entries in legend

In previous versions, function plot would always show in legend. In Origin 2023, a context menu is added to Hide Function Plots in legend.

In-place edit for wrapped text object

For wrapped text, if not long, double click will enter in-place edit mode. For very long text, open Text Object dialog

• In the past, if text was wrapped, double click it would always open Text Object dialog. In Origin 2022b System Variable @TLIP (default 80) is added. If text length is less than it, double click will allow in-place edit.

• In the past, if text wasn’t wrapped, double click would always enter in-place edit mode. In Origin 2022b System Variable @TLIPN (default 60) is added for text not wrapped as well. If text length is longer than it, Text Object dialog will open.

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.

Added LabTalk commands 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. For example, using the following will make the graph 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

Keep Graph and Worksheet size in layout window when copying and pasting

Hold Alt key and then paste graph or worksheet in layout to another layout window to keep the size

Added the hot key Alt when copying and pasting images among layout or graph windows.

It’s extended to graph and worksheet object in layout window.

So copy the graph or worksheet object in one layout.

Then in another layout window with different page, size, press Alt key and then right click to Paste.

The graph/worksheet object size will be kept in new layout window.

Double click angle or right click and choose Properties to see all options.

Click on label to customize the label. Or double Double click to modify the syntax, e.g. $(v, .3) to show 3 decimal places, etc$(v*pi/180, .2) to convert degree to radian and show 2 decimal places.
