Customize Layers/Plots/Axes Properties in Different Layers Together | By checking what you want to customize together on Layers tab of Page level of Plot Details dialog, and then go to a layer to customize settings, all layers will be customized together. | |
Easier notation when adding label to graphs in Merge Graph Windows dialog. Added support for Roman numerals. a$ (default) – enumerate lower case letters Graph## – Graph01, Graph02, ... hsn$ means #1, #2, .... | Set Label Text as Custom and click the dropdown list to see Custom notations. Notations can be combined, e.g. h$n$ to show #1, #2, .... Labtalk Script example: merge_graph labeltext:=custom labelcustom:=h$n$; Tip: Click the > button next to Dialog theme and choose Generate Script, executable Labtalk script will be created. | |
Scale in linked layers support If layers are linked with 1:1 X axis and area, choose Scale In toolbar button and click in graph to create enlarged graph. Plots in all linked layers show in enlarged graph. | ||

ORG-17606 | Support Add Matrix as Sheet in Workbook | 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. |
SE of derived parameter should also be included in Summary table | Output the SE of derived parameter and in the Summary table. | |
Change code to calculate P value for tcdf and fcdf in fitting tools for significance | Calculate the P value more accurately in the Nonlinear Fitting Tools. | |

ORG-12869 | PCA Wants Loading plot and BiPlot support Plot Label | Principal Component Analysis: Loading plot and BiPlot use the latest design: plot label tab in Plot details dialog, and update Axis Labels "Principal Component 1" to be "PC1", add the value of "Percentage of Variance" to the Units label |
ORG-10828 | Frequency Count/Binning should support output format such as: 0-10, 10-20, etc. | 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. |

ORG-17662 | Greatly improve the speed of MDF Import | Tested with a big data customer provided. It used to take more than 1 hour to import the data. In Origin 2018b, it takes only about 1 minute. |
Auto determine headerlines by leading characters in Import ASCII and Import Wizard | Origin's auto determine header line may not work well for all user's data. One example is user wants to import files by removing all lines that start with # character. In sush case, uncheck Auto Determine Subheader lines and then choose By Leading Character option and specify a leading char under Header Lines node in ImpASCII dialog. This option is also available on Header page of Import Wizard. |
