Icon improvements on left panel of Plot Details dialog

Much easier to tell a plot is a single plot or belongs to a group

In the past, when open a complicated graph to customize plot, it’s hard to tell if a plot is a single plot, or belongs to a group. For grouped plot, some Tabs only show when 1st member in the group is selected.

In Origin 2025, a single plot is denoted by , a plot blonging to a group is denoted by alternatingicons

ORG-29715

Grouping plots gets easier

Group nonadjacent plots and create multi-groups

Change of behavior and context menus changes in Object Manager to make it easier to group plots in a layer

1. New behavior of Set as Group Begin and Set as Group End: Right click a member in a group of plot and choose Set as Group Begin or Set as Group End will break the current group into two groups. In the past, plots before Set as Group Begin or after Set as Group End would become isolated single plots.

2. New Move as a New Group context menu: Select adjacent or non-adjacent plots in a group to move them into a new group. In the past, many steps were needed.

3. Group non-adjacent single plots: For isolated single plots, no matter same plot type or not, ctrl+ select them, right click and choose Group to make a new group with 1st plot’s plot type.

Data Filter For Graph

Graph based Data Filter without affecting worksheet

Turn on Data Slicer to set different filter condition on each graph without affecting worksheet data

• If there is already filter in worksheet before plotting graph, a prompt will be given

  

  • Show Data Slicer (old way) - changing filter in graph will affect worksheet and vice versa.

  • Convert worksheet filter to graph based will remove filter condition in worksheet and convert it into a graph based filter. Change filter condition will only apply to current graph

• Click Filter to change filter condition; right click on a condition for more options including moving the condition orders, deleting the filter, etc.; right click in blank area below existing filters to add more filter conditions.

  

• Related LabTalk Access

  • Command to convert graph with worksheet data filter to use graph based filter and take over the filters on worksheet

    page -df; //convert to SDF
    //data filter still shows in source worksheet and row is hidden
    
    page -df 1;//convert to SDF and remove filter from source worksheet
    //no data filter in source worksheet and no row is hidden

    Similar to page -df, you can also try below command

    int nUID = layer.plot1.DF();
    nUID=;

  • To see datasets used in the dataplot, try below command

    list pl;

  • To show Graph Data Slicer pane, run below script

    page.cp.type = 5;

  • New LabTalk Object SDF is implemented to access the graph based filter used for the plot, says Shared Data Filters object.

    //Suppose active graph plotting with graph based filter
    int nUID = layer.plot1.SDF;
    SDF ff = nUID;
    ff.wks$ =;//read-only, worksheet range, "[book2]sheet1"
    ff.enable =;//to allow temp disable
    ff.nf =;//read-only,number of columns to have filter
    ff.f1.col =;//first filter on which col
    ff.f1.filter$ =;//query string
    ff.f1.filterx$ =;//the x variable used inside the filter
    ff.Set(D:3:"between(18,23)");//replace col(D) filter if already existed

  • To retrieves the state of data filters in the active graph, use command

    page -dfs nn;
    //nn = 0: no data filters detected
    //nn = 1: data filter present in at least one worksheet providing the data for at least one dataplot in the graph
    //nn = 2: shared data filter used by at least one dataplot in the graph
    //nn = -1: error

    or method

    nn = page.GetDF(str$);
    //str$ is a string variable to receive the worksheet range

  • When no data filter is used by any of dataplots, either as worksheet data filter or as a ShDF (execute the above command page -dfs nn; it must return 0), run below command to add a graph based filter.

    page -dfn ColNameOrNumber;

  • Create Shared Data Filters (ShDF)) from Worksheet

    • Define/Modify a Shared Data Filter from active worksheet

      worksheet -shdf uidShDF [[colname:filtertype:filtercondition]]
      //uidShDF is the name of the LabTalk variable which will receive the UID of the created ShDF

    • Create virtual datasets using existing ShDF

      create name -vsshdf worksheetrange uidShDF;

    • Example

      fname$ = System.path.program$ + "Samples\Statistics\automobile.dat";
      newbook;
      impASC;
      worksheet -shdf uidShDF [[D:3:"between(16,23)"]];
      create myshdfvsy -vsshdf col(F) uidShDF;
      plotxy iy:=(C,myshdfvsy) plot:=202;

  • Command to dump Shared Data Filters in worksheet

    worksheet -shdfd;

Using LaTeX directly in column label rows

No need to put LaTeX inside \q( )

In previous versions, user would put LaTeX equation into \q( ) so Origin knows it’s LaTeX. In Origin 2025, this is simplified.

• There is a Use LaTeX directly, without putting inside \q( ) checkbox in Workbook Properties dialog. Check it. Then user can type LaTeX Equation into column label row directly.

• System variable @LATW to control default behavior, 0=off, 1= new workbook, 2 = always

• If rich text is on for the column label row, LaTeX equation will show right away. Otherwise it will show as raw text but will be auto detected and show as LaTeX equation in axis title and legend.

\[\sqrt[n]{abc}\]

Character Column in Column Label Row Dialog

To customize legend or text labels in graph with metadata, user would need to go to Document page to find the corresponding char for each label row, e.g. F for filter row, LD1 for 1st user-defined parameter row, etc.

Now such char shows in Column Label Rows dialog (right click any label row header and choose Edit Column Label Rows…) so user can easily find the syntax.

Inform User that the OPJU already open in another instance of Origin

Inform User that the OPJU already open in another instance of Origin

In Origin 2024b and earlier versions, when users keep Origin project open quite some time and on many occasions they forgot about it and launched the same project just by double-click. It opens the second instance of Origin without any warning that the same project is already open.

In Origin 2025, when openning a project and Origin found it to be read only, Origin will check that it has already been open by another instance, then will show a message to inform users so they can cancel. After that, Origin will tell that instance to activate to the front.
