---|---|---|---|
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. | |
Better default legend position | LabTalk command to intelligently reposition the Legend. | LabTalk command | |
Hide Markers in legend - Beta2 | 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). | |
Add straight line consider divide by factor - Beta2 | 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. |

Import and parse text data from clipboard improvement | Improved paste Ctrl+V to check TAB, comma and semicolon. | Copy data from third-party software and paste it into Origin Worksheet will auto check TAB/comma/semicolon as delimiter. | |
NetCDF Import Time Dimension Smarter Labels | If dense data is averaged into daily data, then matrix name will be show date info. only | 1. We used to show a range, e.g. 2022-10-01 1:00 - 2022-10:01: 23:00 as matrix name for consecutive daily average, now we only set date to matrix name, like 2022-10-01.
2. Now only show year as matrix name for consecutive yearly average, like 2022. Can set @MOL = 1 to turn it off. | |
View Mode Improvements | Auto decide Image/Data mode depending on matrix size and keep modified view | If the matrix dimension (rows*columns) is small, data view will be used instead of image view.
If View mode is modified by user, reimport will not modify the view mode.
| |
NetCDF Import Check Dimension of Single Value | Auto detect single cell matrix and import into worksheet column instead. | E.g. for a 3D variable such as Time[2000]*lat[1]*lon[1], Origin will auto detect it is a single cell data and import it into worksheet column. | |
NetCDF 4D Variable Import | Import 1st level instead of middle level | E.g. for 4D variable such as Time[2000]*level[18]*lat[50]*lon[50], imports the 1st level. In previous versions, middle level 10 is imported. Level value will show as matrix sheet name. | |
Improve Dimension Labels from NetCDF file - Z Dim | Set long_name of NetCDF data to matrixobject comment | E.g. a “long_name“ key, with value “Near-Surface Air Temperature“, after import, open Matrix - Set Dimension/Labels dialog. --> On Z Labels tab, the Comments shoud be set to “Near-Surface Air Temperature“. | |
Check to support 3D variable Add to Active Sheet | Support appending certain 3D Variable as Columns in same sheet. | E.g. If the structure of NetCDF 3D variable is “time[N]*lat[1]*lon[1]”, then show Add to Active Sheet item to Workbook Data Navigator for appending data to active worksheet. | |
Structure Proection to prevent GUI sheet changes by DC import matrix into 4D | Not allow insert/delete/add sheet or drag sheet out into new book, when import 4D NetCDF variable into Matrixbook as 4D. | E.g. When there is a 4D variable V “time[24]*lev[145]*lat[96]*lon[144]“, set selected path as “NetCDF/V[z][1:3][y][x]” to import, then then number of Matrixsheet will not allow to change. | |
Support Importing multiple Slices as Matrix Sheets | Support importing 4D NetCDF to Matrixsheet as 4D. Syntax:
or
| E.g. When there is a 4D variable V “time[24]*lev[145]*lat[96]*lon[144]“, set selected path as “NetCDF/V[z][1:3][y][x]” to import. -->The time frames are imported into multiple Matrixobjects, while lev frames are imported into multiple Matrixsheets. |
