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 , a plot blonging to a group is denoted by alternatingicons

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.

Data Slicer on Graph

Add data slicer to graph to filter data

Three ways to add data slicer on graph. Slicer is on graph so source worksheet will not be filtered.

• Data: Slicer… menu

• Click the old Data Filter button. //button in pressed stage if there is filter on graph. Click it again will remove all filters in graph. Ctrl+Z to undo.

• Click the Data Slicer button on page level mini toolbar

Basic usage

More options when right clicking on filter. E.g. right click a text type filter and check Multiple Selection so instead of a dropdown list, user can pick multiple items in column.

Or right click to disable filter, delete filter or change filter to be another column

Right click in blank area to add another filter

Compare plots with different conditions

For single layer graph, use Duplicate Plot option to add duplicate plots in same layer with different filter conditions for each plot

Or duplicate into multiple layers with different filter conditions for each layer

Add Filter to control all layers in graph

For multi-layer graph, user can add filter to page level (check Common Filter for All layers/Plots) or to layer level (uncheck it)

Set condition will affect all layers

Easy way to change all plot’s X data in a layer or whole page

Change X context menu on Layer and Page level

Right click in blank area within layer and choose Change X to change all plot’s X to be certain column.

Right click outside all layer frames and right click to change all plots in all layers' X to be certain column.

Note: There was only Change X context menu on when right clicking on a plot. User would have to click each plot to change the X data or go to Plot Setup dialog to change so. It’s cumbersome.

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
