ORG-16170

Graph special points settings that aren't modified failed to follow main plot settings.

Origin supports customizing a single point, such as color, shape, size, label, etc. 

If user doesn't change some settings of a single point, then it should still follow the main plot (e.g. user may only want to change a single point color but the size should still follow the main plot).

In Origin 2018, by default <auto> shows for those unchanged settings. So if user modifies main plot settings, special point settings will follow.

Improvements for Plotting Scatter with X/Y Error

In Origin 2017 and earlier, if you wanted to make a XY Error scatter with designation like X - xErr - Y1 - yErr1 - Y2 - yErr2 - ... - Y# - yErr#, each Y column need to have its own XErr and YErr. In Origin 2018, you can make XY Error scatter plot with such desingation directly.

Slowness and crashing issue related to Printer

In previous versions, Origin is slow to launch and use related to some printers, such as

HP Laserjet P4010_P4510 Series PCL 6

HP Laserjet 4250 PCL 6

etc.

In Origin 2018 we removed such dependency so Origin should work normally no matter what the default printer is.

OC Error of using the non-English character µ as variable name
Fixed in Origin 2018. When there is a non-English character µ in variable name, it will fail to compile.
Introducing a new system variable @SID to control this, it has the following meanings:
  • @SID = 1 (default): stricter variable (identifier) naming convention checking when compiling, so the non-English characters such as the µ above won't work.
  • @SID = 0: loose naming check for identifiers, so it will be compiled successfully.
