Batch Plotting
...
- Add data from many different sheets/books into an existing graph
- E.g. After plotting a multiple panel graph with data in one worksheet/book, user wants to add data from other sheet/book to same graph.
- Add data from many sheets/books into a combined graph.
- After plotting a complicated graph with data in one book with several sheets, user wants to create a similar new graph with all data in another book with different number of sheets.
...
...
GUI Improvements
- Combine Batch Plot with Book, Sheet and Column into one dialog. There is Batch Plot with dropdown list on the top of the dialog.
- Matching conditions to filter book/sheet are moved on top of the book/sheet list.
- Batch plotting menus and toolbar buttons also combine into single button and menu.
...
Analysis
...
To support an analysis template which contains both workbook and matrix, everything must be in one workbook.
So in Origin 2018b, we allow user to right click a workbook tab and choose Add Matrix as Sheet context menu.
This actually adds the whole matrix book as a sheet in workbook. You can double click the matrix to open the matrix again.

2D Frequency Count/Binning output sheet creates 4 type columns ahead with following LongName: Bins of A, Bin Beginnings of A, Bin Centers of A, Bin Ends of A and create 3 label row : Bin Beginnings of B, Bin Centers of B, Bin Ends of B.
Frequency Counts output sheet creates 4 type columns ahead with following LongName: Bins, Bin Begin, Bin Centers , Bin Ends.
...
Worksheet
...
Right-click on the sheet tab, two new context menu items are available.
- Copy Sheet
- Paste as New Sheet
Use Copy Sheet to copy current sheet with all information(including the header lines and structure) into the clipboard, and then use Paste as New Sheet to paste it as a new sheet from the clipboard into a new layer or new window.
LabTalk command is also provided,
clip -cs;
/// copy active sheet
clip -ps;
/// paste sheet to active book from clipboard, if possible
clip -psn;
/// paste sheet to new book from clipboard, if possible
