 line cap of plot symbol in legend should be same as line plot

In the past, make line thicker in Origin and set system variable @LCP=1 to make line cap square.

The line cap in legend was still round.

Fixed in Origin 2020b so it’s consistent with plot.

Legend Update Mode: None issue

Set legend update mode as None, and add new plots. Existing legend should be updated to show new entries.

ORG-21224

No X Error shows for multiple XY data organized in X XErr Y YErr order

Newly broken in Origin 2020.

The X error of last set failed to be plotted.

If data is organized in X Y XErr YErr, then no problem.

Fixed in Origin 2020b.

ORG-21194

Annotation Issues with Plots from XXY Sheet

E.g. Both column A and B are X data. Column C is plotted twice in same graph – one plot using A as X, the other using B as X. Use Annotation tool to add annotation to one plot. The leader line may point to the other plot.

This issue has existed since 8.0, when annotation feature is added.

Pattern filled inside plot though Exclusive broken by missing values is checked

For plot with filled area with Exclusive broken by missing values is checked,

ORG-21444

VM with missing values introduces wrong scale handling

When there are many missing values in the Virtual Matrix Z value range, axis scale may be wrong.

The issue started since Origin 2018b.

ORG-21789

Origin crashes when rescaling graph with symbol size set to use formula expression

The issue started since Origin 2020.

It only happens if the number of point is >=50000

E.g. plot a scatter graph with more than 50k points. Index symbol size to column C. Size formula s1/s2. Then rescale the graph.

P1. Labels not aligned with color box center

P2. When mapped to a group, ranges were displayed for labels. Now single values are displayed.

ORG-21575

Update Legend on Source Graph doesn't work as expect

Fixed:

Fitted curve plots were being added to legend of wrong layer.

Legend not properly updated when plot assed to 3D graph.

ORG-21567

Fail to rescale X and Y axis of the linked layer

Issues exists since Origin 2018 (though not in 2018 SR1).

Case sensitive for Unstack Columns

We fixed it in Origin 2020b so unstacking column is case insensitive.

E.g. data with group info. A and a will be put together.

ORG-21032

Batch peak analysis failed if number of input data is large

E.g. In older versions, do a batch peak analysis with 10,000 columns, or using script:

paMultiY iy:=(1,2:end) theme:="TestAuto" append:=peak_properties;

==> Error shows, “VC Member function call execution error”

ORG-21344

1. Batch PA fails to output Fit Statistics in Summary sheet

In Batch Peak Analysis using Theme dialog, uncheck Delete Intermediate Result checkbox and choose Peak Prpoerties as result sheet. Click OK.

In Result sheet, no Fit statistics, such as

Number of Points, Degrees of Freedom, Reduced Chi-Sqr, Residual Sum of Squares, R-Square (COD), Adj. R-Square, and Fit Status

Bug since Origin 2017.

ORG-21043

Fail to export multi-page file when source data is not import from files
