ORG-25449 | Improvements on Export Graph (Advanced) - Beta2, Beta4 | Added hotkey Ctrl+Alt+G to export with last used theme. Added a clickable link on messages log to view exported graph |
0 = message with file path
| ||||
ORG-25233 | 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. |
| ||||
Batch Plotting Short Name | Better handling of Batch Plotting Short Name numbers | Short Name starting with G09 will increment to G10 instead of G010. | |||||
ORG-20137 | 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. | ||||
ORG-25452 | Axis Reference Line improvements | Reference line label consider divide by factor | Reference line label will follow divide by factor of tick labels. E.g. For scales from 1 to 10, if tick label is set to have divide by factor of 0.01, the tick labels will show as 100 to 1000. When adding reference line at 700, the reference line label will show 700. Used to show 7 (original scale) | ||||

ORG-25350 | 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.
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.

ORG-25145 | Move data point improvement | Keep plot customizations when moving data points | In the past, choosing Data: Move Data Points, causes plot customizations to be lost. Plots changed to default black symbol. In 2023, user can press Tab to toggle between using default scatter symbol or customized symbol. | ||||
ORG-22648 | Build Color improvements | We can interpolate according to selection, by group and merge color lists/ palettes. | Added Base Color radio option, with All and Selection as options. All means all color in build color dialog. Selection means current selection in the left panel of build color.

ORG-25354 | 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. |
ORG-25355 | 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. |
ORG-25300 | Manage Symbol Map Unicode SymbolsDialog Improvements | Gear icon on top-right corner of the dialog to manage symbols on each tab |
