Avoid using Function plot as Axis title unless it’s the only plot
...
Data Plot Index for Auto Axis Titles should exclude function plot unless it's the only one
When there are multiple plots (no matter data plot or function plot), Origin uses the 1st plot’s long name, unit as axis title. See the Data Plot Index for Auto Axis Titles dropdown list on Legends/Titles tab of graph node of Plot Details dialog.
So if user moves function plot as the 1st plot in graph window, F1 will show as axis title. In Origin 2023, we will skip using function plot as axis title unless it’s the only plot in graph.
Use system variable @fpt=1

See the Data Plot Index for Auto Axis Titles dropdown list on Legends/Titles tab of graph node of Plot Details dialog. So if the function plot is the 1st plot in graph window, F1 will show as axis title. In Origin 2023, we will skip using function plot as axis title unless it’s the only plot in the graph. Use system variable @FPT=1 to roll back to the old behavior. |

ORG-25657 | Improvements on Cell Formula Cache | Improve the handle of cell fomula cache for better performance | Cell formula would be calculated from time to time in the previous versions, so if the source data is huge, it will be slow. There is a value cache for cell formula though, but it will be cleared after time limit is reached, which is control by @SCNT (time interval as milliseconds, default is 5000). So if your project is slow with cell formula, can set @SCNT to be a huge number to avoid recalucation. Since Origin 2023, cell formula will keep using cache result until data change, so it will not recalculate frequently. And then if you want to force clear the cache to force cell formula values to update, press F5 to refresh or set @SCNT = -1 to do it. | ||

ORG-25804 | Range notation Improvements | Window long name search to favor same folder | When using window long name in range, etc. definition, it will favor the same folder. If user later duplicate such folder, or save the folder as opju and append to other project, etc. the script will still work fine since window long name will be kept when duplicating folder, window or appending project. If using window short name, e.g. Book in definition, since short name must be unique in a project, the script/formula may not work well. Example 1: Column B in Book1’s calculated by interpolate A,B in Reference book, using new X in A of Book1. Duplicate the folder and modify reference book data, the calculation will update based on the Reference book in new folder. Example 2: In Book2’s B1 shows x value of vertical line in graph window with long name KZ LL Duplicate the folder. The graph window in new folder will have same long name. Therefor the var:// link refers vertical line in graph of same folder. Move vertical line. Press F5 to see update in workbook. | ||
