Auto Position of Data Labels
In the past, for dense data, if user turned on labels, many labels would overlap with one another and hard to read. By Auto position feature in Origin9.1,
- Origin automatically calculates data label positions to avoid overlapping in X, Y or both directions.
- Leader lines are added to those data labels that will exceeds some offset threshold after reposition.
Attach Data Labels To top Y axis and Auto Position
On Labels tab, user can attach Data Labels to a Horizontal Line (Y line), Vertical Line (X line) instead of to data point and auto reposition in the other direction to avoid overlapping. Leader Line can be set to Polyline type.
Smart Peak Labeling
User can Attach data label to a fixed Horizontal or Vertical Line position, such as in the following graph, it's set to y=-0.017.
Special Point Data Labeling
Ctrl+click to select a single label text. User can drag it to new position. Ctrl+Double click to open Plot Details dialog. Individual node will be created for special point. User can go to Labels tab to customize the special point's label.
For Special label, if Auto Reposition to Avoid Overlapping is set to Auto, it will change with all data labels. If it's set to None, changing other labels will not affect the special label's position.
