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, .... a$ (default) – enumerate lower case letters Graph## – Graph01, Graph02, ... hsn$ means #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. |

If user merges some column labels e.g. Comments and import mode is set as Start New Columns. Then Origin will treat the merged column as a unit and check if 1st column in the unit is blank or not. If blank, import into it. If not, start new column after the unit and import there. System vairable @DCM=1;//disable check merged labels. Then Origin will work the old way before 2018b. Import into empty columns in the unit. |
| Expand | ||

Columns with missing values are still treated as columns with data. In the past, when user tried to import multiple data into same sheet with Multi-File Import mode set to Start New Columns, data will be imported into new columns after missing values columns. In 2018b, data will be imported into those missing value columns. |

Double click a cell to enter the edit mode. Ctr+M or right-click and choose Character Map to insert symbol into cell using the font specified for the cell. The benefit of this is that it allows actual Unicode characters to be inserted into Label rows, rather than codes used in previous versions of Origin. Hence, then the values in Label Rows are displayed elsewhere, those Unicode characters will be used.
|
User Interface
| Expand | ||
|---|---|---|
| ||
To insert a character that is not supported by your keyboard, find the relevant 4-digit Unicode code via Google. Then, when in edit mode, type in the 4 digits and hit Alt+X to convert it to the actual character. Note: If the font for the location does not support the relevant character, it may not display properly even though the character is valid.
