Graph special points settings that aren't modified failed to follow main plot settings. |
Origin supports customizing a single point, such as color, shape, size, label, etc. If user doesn't change some settings of a single point, then it should still follow the main plot (e.g. user may only want to change a single point color but the size should still follow the main plot). In Origin 2018, by default <auto> shows for those unchanged settings. So if user modifies main plot settings, special point settings will follow. |

Improvements for Plotting Scatter with X/Y Error |
In Origin 2017 and earlier, if you wanted to make a XY Error scatter with designation like X - xErr - Y1 - yErr1 - Y2 - yErr2 - ... - Y# - yErr#, each Y column need to have its own XErr and YErr. In Origin 2018, you can make XY Error scatter plot with such desingation directly. |
