Grouping plots gets easier

Group nonadjacent plots and create multi-groups

Change of behavior and context menus changes in Object Manager to make it easier to group plots in a layer

1. New behavior of Set as Group Begin and Set as Group End: Right click a member in a group of plot and choose Set as Group Begin or Set as Group End will break the current group into two groups. In the past, plots before Set as Group Begin or after Set as Group End would become isolated single plots.

2. New Move as a New Group context menu: Select adjacent or non-adjacent plots in a group to move them into a new group. In the past, many steps were needed.

3. Group non-adjacent single plots: For isolated single plots, no matter same plot type or not, ctrl+ select them, right click and choose Group to make a new group with 1st plot’s plot type.

Icon improvements on left panel of Plot Details dialog

Much easier to tell a plot is a single plot or belongs to a group

In the past, when open a complicated graph to customize plot, it’s hard to tell if a plot is a single plot, or belongs to a group. For grouped plot, some Tabs only show when 1st member in the group is selected.

In Origin 2025, a single plot is denoted by Image Added, a plot blonging to a group is denoted by alternatingImage AddedImage Addedicons

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;

Swap layers or swap graph objects

Select position of two layers, or two graphic objects

Swap position dropdown list is added on mini toolbar if two layers, or two graphic objects are selected.

It also shows on Object Edit toolbar on right side of workspace.

E.g. shift+select two layers and click the button.

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.

Same hotkey combinations as Excel to highlight contents of a cell and select entire rows or columns

Highlighting Content Inside a Cell:

• Ctrl + Shift + End, or Ctrl + Shift + Down to highlight from cursor location to end of the cell

Show or hide all user parameters rows to leave more space for data area in worksheet

Single click on any user defined parameter row header and click the new Hide/Show All User Parameters button to hide all user-defined parameter rows. Click again to show all.

This provide a quick way to hide all user-defined parameter rows on top of data so you can see more rows in data area.

D0 for Last User Parameter.

D0 now refers to the last user parameter.

D0 is changed to refer to last created user parameter row instead of 1st user parameter row. E.g.

• Col(B)[D0] and col(B)[D0]$ can be used to refer to column B’s last user parameter row value or text respectively.

• wks.merge(D0, 1) - merge last user parameter row if neighbouring texts are the same

• Substitution notations %(Sheet1!,1,D0), %(1@W,2,D0)

Maximum column width for long name when importing data

System variable @MCWL=15 (default) to set long name max column width when importing data

@MCW and @MRH to control the max column width and max row height when importing data.

New system variables are added

• @MCWL - controls the long name max column width

• @IXFC is – controls if Import XF follows the connector or not. 1 (Default): follow the connector. 0: does not follow the connector.

Enter value in F(X) reset From and To value

For columns with sub range set with values, enter F(x) will ignore subrange setting and apply to whole column

Sometimes user highlight a range of cells and click Set Column Values toolbar button or menu, or hotkey Ctrl+Q set the sub range value. The formula shows in Fx cell but will only be applied to the specified sub range in the future.

Later there are two kinds of senarios:

• Type new formula in Fx cell, and hope to change the sub range only. – old behavior

• Type new formula in Fx cell and hope to change whole column - new default in 2025.

System variable @FXR (default 1) is added to control it. Change it to 0 to roll back to old behavior.
