---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
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. |
| ||||
ORG-25555 | Multi-layer graph arrangement direction - Beta4 | Choose Horizontal First or Vertical First when arranging multi-panel graphs. | Direction control in Merge Graph Windows, Merge Graphs to Layout, Arrange Layers, and Layer Management dialogs. Example 1: When merging 6 graphs into a multi-panel graph, e.g. 2 x 3, there is now an option to specify arranging horizontally first or vertically first. Example 2: Suppose there is a 2 x 3 panel graph which was arranged horizontally first. Choose Graph: Arrange Layers… to switch the number of rows and columns to 3 x 2 and Direction: Vertical First—the panels will be transposed. | ||||
ORG-25430 | Set default reference line style- Beta5 | Right click reference line to set it as default reference line style for future use | Origin 2023 supports save customized reference line format as default style. When adding reference lines in the future, it will use it.
| ||||
ORG-25466 | Stack plot improvements | Support stacking plot horizontally without exchanging XY Axis | Choose Plot: Multi-panel/Axis: Stack… menu Plots can be stacked horizontally without exchanging X-Y axes. It works well with Orientation: Landscape. Note: In previous versions, there were only Vertical or Horizontal(X-Y Axes Exchanged) options. | ||||
Batch Plotting Short Name | Better handling of Batch Plotting Short Name numbers | A 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) | ||||

It’s much easier to set title width and align it. Click on layer title, mini toolbar button to set box width LabTalk property to show/hide layer title: layer.title=1 (show) or 0 (hide) Wrapped layer title or text box width:
This <textobject>.box property also applies to regular text object and legend box. By default, it’s 0 though. The box width mini toolbar also only shows if <textobject>.box value is bigger than 1. |
ORG-24822 | Angle Annotation - Beta2 | Measure the angle between two lines and annotate it | Select Angle Annotation toolbar button. Single-click 3 times to pick arm, vertex and the other arm.

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 the function plot is 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-24719 | Sort Point by Point legends | Options to sort point by point legend by X, Y, or alphabetical order | In the past when show point by point legend, it would always show by row index order. Sort by options are added to sort by Alphabetical Order, X or Y. |
