Built-in LaTeX Support

Using SVG drawing for LaTeX

LaTeX App and MikTex installation no longer needed.

LabTalk substitution notation \q(\varphi_{\mu, \sigma^{2}}(X)) will use built-in SVG rendering by MathJax JS library.

@MKX=0 to mean use built-in LaTeX and user must manually set it to 1 to go back to old way

How it works in Graph/Layout window

• If LaTeX text already copied from somewhere else, right click inside graph and choose Paste LaTeX

• Insert: LaTeX Equation… menu or right click inside graph and choose Insert LaTeX Equation…

  

• For mixed text and LaTeX Equation, in in-place Edit mode of text object, past in such syntax \q(…..)

• Or in in-place edit mode of text object, right click and choose Insert: LaTeX Equation…(Ctrl+L) to open LaTeX Equation Editor dialog.

  

• Right click text object and choose Properties… context menu and enter such syntax

How it works in Worksheet cell

• Click on a cell and use mini toolbar button.

  

• To see the effect, right click the cell set Data Style to RichText to turn it on.

• If it’s column label row, click on corresponding row header and check RTF to turn on Rich Text.

How it works in Notes window.

• Right click in Notes window and choose Insert: LaTeX Equation…

Support using third party extensions of MathJax

• Select menu Tools: LaTex Extensions to open dialog to install third party extensions.

ORG-25575

Label Reference Lines With a Column

Specify reference line labels from a column

On Reference Lines tab of Axis dialog, Label Form control added. Specify a column for reference line labels.

ORG-26599

More Legend Substitution Notation

Show plot’s layer & group name, plot index or column designation info. in legend

More legend substitution notation added for translation mode.

• @LX - column designation. If columns in worksheet are X1Y1Y1 X2Y2Y2, if user plots all Y columns. And set legend to be @LX, it will show 1, 1, 2, 2, (since 1st two plot are from 1st X, and 2nd two plots are from 2nd X ).

• @L1 - plot index. E.g. if plot 5 plots in one layer, it will show as 1, 2, 3, 4, 5.

• @L2 - group info. When highlight multiple data to plot, they are in one group e.g. g1. User can rename groups in Object manager and show group info. in legend.

• @L3 - layer info. For multi-layer graph, user can give meaningful layer names in Object Manager instead of using default Layer1, Layer2. Using @L3 will show corresponding plot’s layer info. in legend)

E.g. the following legend shows layer name (@L3) - plot index (@LX)

ORG-25886

Better default legend position

LabTalk command to intelligently reposition the Legend.

LabTalk command run.section(standard, legendsmartpos) is added to move the Legend to a best position.

ORG-26352

Hide Markers in legend

Analysis markers (e.g. peak markers and baseline markers, etc.) will not show in legend by default.

Peak markers and baseline markers, etc. showed in legend in the past after doing peak analysis.

In Origin 2023b, it will be hidden in legend by default. This is controlled by page.peakm=0 (by default)

To make them show in legend, set page.peakm=1 and click Reconstruct Legend button (or Ctrl+L).

ORG-26429

Easier way to turn on Active Dataset Indicator in legend

Indicate Active Dataset button on legend level MT button

Toggle to turn on/off active dataset indicator in legend. When it’s on, a red frame will show on legend of active dataset. By default when opening analysis tools from graph window, active data will be used as the input.

Click on other symbol in legend will change active dataset. The frame will show around the newly clicked plot symbol in legend.

In the past, user would have to choose Format: Page… to open Plot Details dialog. Check it on Legend/Titles tab.

ORG-26114

Add straight line consider divide by factor

When adding straight line in graph with tick labels calculated by divide by factor, user can use the calculated tick range

E.g. support x range is 0 to 200 while user set tick label by divide by factor 10, tick labels will show as 0 to 20.

When adding straight line in the past, user had to enter values before division, e.g. to add a line at location 12 (by looking at tick labe), user actually needs to enter 120 in Add line dialog. In Origin 2023b, user can directly enter 12.

ORG-26406

Annotation moves with plot with offset

Annotation should move with data plot when offset is changed

New system variable is added @AFP=1 (default). When it’s 1, when text property text.follow=1 by default when adding new annotations. It will not affect existing annotation in existing project file.

ORG-26466

Attach Legend to Plots Improvements

Fix translation mode of of labels after using Attach Legend to Plots button on legend MT button

User could use Attach Legend to Plots button on legend mini toolbar button to put legend info. next to each plot.

E.g. in following image, user sets legend to represent mean value of each plot. Click the Attach Legend to Plots button, legend info. will be attached to end of each plot and they are linked.

If user then changes the legend to show other info., e.g. Comments info., the label after each plot will change as well.

In Origin 2023b, a system variable @ALP to control it. By default it’s 0 so label translation mode will be fixed so changing legend afterwards will not affect labels. Set @ALP=1 to roll back to old behavior.

ORG-26070

Vertical Alignment option for Data Info. and Tooltip layout

Vertical alignment options added for Data Info. window and tooltip window

There used to be Horizontal alignment only when customizing data point tooltip and data info window.

In Origin 2023b, vertical alignment options are added for tooltip layout when mousing over data points and data Info. layout when using Data Reader, Data Cursor, etc.

To customize in Data Info. window, mousing over data point in graph. Right click inside the yellow tooltip and choos Preferences…

Click Pencil icon on top of column header column (Note: Vertical alignment is shared across all columns while Horizontal alignment can be independent in each column)

To customize Data Info. window when using Data Reader, double click in Data Info. window to open Preferences dialog and click Pencil icon in column header.

• @LLAB=0, use new above below legend and keep line entry only

• @LLAB=1, use new above below legend and keep both entries

• @LLAB=2, use fill only legend(old style) for fill under curve=normal or fill to base, for fill to next plot, use new above below legend and keep line entry only

ORG-23231

Legend title with different style, justification and spacing

Better Partial Text Alignment. Text Property Dialog To Support Selection Alignment.

1. Origin now can set following notation to set alignment for selected content 

2. Code Block
   \p{{a:c}}(selected content) //a:c means align to center, a:l means align to left, a:r means align to right

3. When there is selection in Text Property dialog, only add notation to selected part, not change setting for object(reopen dialog will see the setting for object is not changed).

ORG-25582

Insert, resize and rotate SVG image in graph

Allow easy placement, resizing, and rotation of SVG images in graphs

1. Drag the SVG image to placing, single click to enter Resize mode, single click twice to enter Rotate mode.

Set @IML =1 to set all inserted image object as linked file.

ORG-26108

Copy Paste Linked Image between Graph windows

Keep image linked and updated when copy and paste an image from one graph or layout to other graph/windows

In the past, if image is linked to external file, when copy (Ctrl+C) and paste it (Ctrl+V), the image object shows hashtag, etc. so user needs to double click the image to open Image window and Import to update it.

Much straight foward in Origin 2023b now. Paste will directly show the image.

Align Y Axis on Single-Layer Double-Y graph

Align Y axes at specified value in new single-layer double Y graph.

There is this control in old multi-layer double Y graph. It’s on Link Axes Scales tab on layer level of Plot Details dialog

Origin 2023b introduced single-layer double Y graph but alignment option not included.

In Origin 2023b, Align Both Axes at control is added on Show tab of Axis dialog to align both left and right Y axis at specified value
