Testing feature: Data Filter For Graph - hide by default @shdf=0

Graph based Data Filter without affecting worksheet

Turn on Data Slicer to set different filter condition on each graph without affecting worksheet data

• If there is already filter in worksheet before plotting graph, a prompt will be given

  

  • Show Data Slicer (old way) - changing filter in graph will affect worksheet and vice versa.

  • Convert worksheet filter to graph based will remove filter condition in worksheet and convert it into a graph based filter. Change filter condition will only apply to current graph

• Click Filter to change filter condition; right click on a condition for more options including moving the condition orders, deleting the filter, etc.; right click in blank area below existing filters to add more filter conditions.

  

• Related LabTalk Access

  • Command to convert graph with worksheet data filter to use graph based filter and take over the filters on worksheet

    Code Block
    language cpp
    page -df; //convert to SDF //data filter still shows in source worksheet and row is hidden page -df 1;//convert to SDF and remove filter from source worksheet //no data filter in source worksheet and no row is hidden

    Similar to page -df, you can also try below command

    Code Block
    int nUID = layer.plot1.DF(); nUID=;

  • To see datasets used in the dataplot, try below command

    Code Block
    list pl;

  • To show Graph Data Slicer pane, run below script

    Code Block
    page.cp.type = 5;

  • New LabTalk Object SDF is implemented to access the graph based filter used for the plot, says Shared Data Filters object.

    Code Block
    language cpp
    //Suppose active graph plotting with graph based filter int nUID = layer.plot1.SDF; SDF ff = nUID; ff.wks$ =;//read-only, worksheet range, "[book2]sheet1" ff.enable =;//to allow temp disable ff.nf =;//read-only,number of columns to have filter ff.f1.col =;//first filter on which col ff.f1.filter$ =;//query string ff.f1.filterx$ =;//the x variable used inside the filter ff.Set(D:3:"between(18,23)");//replace col(D) filter if already existed

  • To retrieves the state of data filters in the active graph, use command

    Code Block
    language cpp
    page -dfs nn; //nn = 0: no data filters detected //nn = 1: data filter present in at least one worksheet providing the data for at least one dataplot in the graph //nn = 2: shared data filter used by at least one dataplot in the graph //nn = -1: error

    or method

    Code Block
    nn = page.GetDF(str$); //str$ is a string variable to receive the worksheet range

  • When no data filter is used by any of dataplots, either as worksheet data filter or as a ShDF (execute the above command page -dfs nn; it must return 0), run below command to add a graph based filter.

    Code Block
    page -dfn ColNameOrNumber;

  • Create Shared Data Filters (ShDF)) from Worksheet

    • Define/Modify a Shared Data Filter from active worksheet

      Code Block
      language cpp
      worksheet -shdf uidShDF [[colname:filtertype:filtercondition]] //uidShDF is the name of the LabTalk variable which will receive the UID of the created ShDF

    • Create virtual datasets using existing ShDF

      Code Block
      create name -vsshdf worksheetrange uidShDF;

    • Example

      Code Block
      fname$ = System.path.program$ + "Samples\Statistics\automobile.dat"; newbook; impASC; worksheet -shdf uidShDF [[D:3:"between(16,23)"]]; create myshdfvsy -vsshdf col(F) uidShDF; plotxy iy:=(C,myshdfvsy) plot:=202;

  • Command to dump Shared Data Filters in worksheet

    Code Block
    worksheet -shdfd;

3 List orders in Batch Plotting Dialog

More ways to sort available books and sheets in Batch Plotting dialog

There was no sorting order option in Batch Plotting dialog.

Before Origin 2024b, books show in creation order and sheets show in appearance order. In Origin 2024b, both books and sheets show in alphabetic order.

In Origin 2025, 3 sorting modes are added. Click the column header to toggle them.

• Unsorted (default, old behavior before Origin 2024b)

• Sort ascending (default in Origin 2024b)

• Sort descending (similar sorting criteria as above type 2, but descending).

Note: Sheets in same book as source graph always show on top.

Histogram Auto Binning improvement for arithmetic sequences

Histogram Auto Binning improvement for arithmetic sequences

When count(unique(input))<=10, we can sort the unique(input) and check if they are arithmetic sequences. In an arithmetic sequence, the difference between consecutive terms is always the same. If they are arithmetic sequences, assume the difference between consecutive terms is delta, bin size=delta, bin begin should be min-delta/2, bin end is max+delta/2.

Implemented in Origin2025.

Smartly adjust ticks when zoom in the graph

Improve the rule of showing ticks to show better ticks values when zooming in

In Origin2025 before, improve the below case that sometimes too few ticks sometimes too many ticks

1. Zoom in graph with hotkey/red dot

2. Apply scale of ROI in image to graph

ORG-29207

Save To Cloud support for project files

Support saving project to cloud

Can save project to cloud by menu: File: Save Project to Cloud…

If there is existing opju file with same name on cloud, for OneDrive/SharePoint, will show dialog to ask replace or not; for Google Drive, save it directly.

Using LaTeX directly in column label rows

No need to put LaTeX inside \q( )

In previous versions, user would put LaTeX equation into \q( ) so Origin knows it’s LaTeX. In Origin 2025, this is simplified.

• There is a Use LaTeX directly, without putting inside \q( ) checkbox in Workbook Properties dialog. Check it. Then user can type LaTeX Equation into column label row directly.

• System variable @LATW to control default behavior, 0=off, 1= new workbook, 2 = always

• If rich text is on for the column label row, LaTeX equation will show right away. Otherwise it will show as raw text but will be auto detected and show as LaTeX equation in axis title and legend.

ORG-29626

Support LaTeX math escape in Origin Text

Introduce more familiar way to display LaTex in Origin Text

Instead of using \q() notation to use LaTex, Origin 2025 introduces more familiar ways as following, so user can directly copy content from notes to a scientific paper, and vise versa.

\[latex here\]
\(latex here\)

Example

\[\sqrt[n]{abc}\]
\(\sqrt[n]{abc}\)

ORG-29311

Hit Ctrl + 2 to toggle separate preview window on and off. Ctrl+R to refresh after editing raw text. The preview can even be put to 2nd monitor as floating window

ORG-29183

Character Column in Column Label Row Dialog

Easier way to find the character for column label row to use it in legend and text editing

To customize legend or text labels in graph with metadata, user would need to go to Document page to find the corresponding char for each label row, e.g. F for filter row, LD1 for 1st user-defined parameter row, etc.

Now such char shows in Column Label Rows dialog (right click any label row header and choose Edit Column Label Rows…) so user can easily find the syntax.

ORG-29327

Inform User that the OPJU already open in another instance of Origin

Inform User that the OPJU already open in another instance of Origin

In Origin 2024b and earlier versions, when users keep Origin project open quite some time and on many occasions they forgot about it and launched the same project just by double-click. It opens the second instance of Origin without any warning that the same project is already open.

In Origin 2025, when openning a project and Origin found it to be read only, Origin will check that it has already been open by another instance, then will show a message to inform users so they can cancel. After that, Origin will tell that instance to activate to the front.
