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

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.

System variable for no element rescale when making new graphs

System variable @SLF to set fixed factor 1 when making new graphs with built-in or extended graph templates

In older versions, if user resize the graph page, or resize the layer in graph, the text label font size, the plot line and symbol thickness, the axis line thickness will rescale accordingly. This Scale Elements setting is a layer level property controlled on Size tab of Plot Details dialog. The default is Scale with Layer Frame.

For users who want to keep font size, etc. no matter how you resize page or layer, go to Preferences: System Variables dialog. Set SLF value as 1. (0 by default).

Workaround in older versions:

1. Choose Preferences: Theme Organizer…

2. On Graph tab, right click it and choose Set as System Theme to apply it for all new graphs in the future.

Note: User can also select Layer No Element Scaling theme and apply it to all existing graphs. And there is Graph: Fix Scale Factor… menu to set fixed factor for single graph.

Data Slicer on Graph

Add data slicer to graph to filter data

Three ways to add data slicer on graph. Slicer is on graph so source worksheet will not be filtered.

• Data: Slicer… menu

• Click the old Data Filter button. //button in pressed stage if there is filter on graph. Click it again will remove all filters in graph. Ctrl+Z to undo.

• Click the Data Slicer button on page level mini toolbar

Basic usage

More options when right clicking on filter. E.g. right click a text type filter and check Multiple Selection so instead of a dropdown list, user can pick multiple items in column.

Or right click to disable filter, delete filter or change filter to be another column

Right click in blank area to add another filter

Compare plots with different conditions

For single layer graph, use Duplicate Plot option to add duplicate plots in same layer with different filter conditions for each plot

Or duplicate into multiple layers with different filter conditions for each layer

Add Filter to control all layers in graph

For multi-layer graph, user can add filter to page level (check Common Filter for All layers/Plots) or to layer level (uncheck it)

Set condition will affect all layers
