JIRA | SUMMARY | DESCRIPTION | DETAILS |
|---|---|---|---|
ORG-25971 | 3D Double-Y/Z | Support double-Y/Z for XYY 3D bars, 3D wire, 3D wall, 3D waterfall, 3D ribbon, 3D scatter, 3D bars. | In Plot Details dialog, plot properties level, go to display tab, there is Plot Data on. For grouped XYY 3D bars/ XYZ 3D bars plot, when stack is enable, each subgroup should have one plot data on option. But, when Stack = cumulative or incremental, we can show plot data on option for all plots in group when following conditions are all met.
|
ORG-25972 | Sankey Map | Plot Sankey Diagram with longitude and latitude XY and then insert map as background | Plot: Categorical: Sankey Map menu. (Mouse over it to see data requirements, 6 columns) After plotting, use Insert: menu to add a built-in map or add a custom map, shape, or image. Use the layer level Mini toolbar to set Isometric so the map is proportional to real map Use the graph level Mini toolbar to Fit Page to Layer. Use Plot Details to customize node, link, and labels. Ctrl + double click to edit one link is supported. For map added by Shapefile or our built-in map, use the Plot Details to set fill color of the map. 
|
ORG-26308 | Stacked Bar Map | Support Stacked Bars or 100% Stacked Bars on Map | Stack and Normalize to Percent checkboxes are added On Map tab of Plot Details dialog to turn Bar Map into Stacked Bar Map. Use Maximum Height to adjust the total height.
|
ORG-26407, ORG-26717 | Stack Lines by Y Offset or Column Label Rows in Browser Graph | Browser graph with lines stacked by Y offset or column label row information | Plot: Browser: Stack Lines menu to directly plot stacked lines with Y offset in browser graph. Based on left selection, Y axis will auto rescale. Click down arrow on left panel and choose Stack Lines by Comments, Long Name, etc. to stack plots based on specified label row so that plots with same column label row information will be put together. |
ORG-26339 | Stacked Browser Graph by Sheet | Group by Sheet option to plot data same sheet together in one panel in browser graph. | Group by Sheet option is added when choosing Plot: Browser: Stack… to create stacked graphs grouped by Sheet. |
General
JIRA | SUMMARY | DESCRIPTION | DETAILS |
|---|---|---|---|
ORG-25884 | Sort X mini toolbar button on Plot(s) | Click Sort X mini toolbar button to set plot’s X to be sorted | There was only LabTalk Mini toolbar is added when clicking on Line, Scatter, and Line+Symbol plot to sort X without need to sort data in worksheet.
|
ORG-24900 | Support Create Category with Data Highlighter MT | Support Create Category in Data Highlighter Mini toolbar | |
ORG-26461 | Want to Easily plot one Y against multiple X | Plot one Y against multiple X. Currently you can not plot with XXXXY or YXXXX directly for most plots. | Origin now support Select from Worksheet by X in plotxy XF(use the same control in plotbylabel), so user could build XY range with XXXY or YXXX, and plot line, scatter, line and symbol. XF plotxy is upgraded. |
Online Template for 2023b | Added More online Template for 2023b. You can get the latest online template via Tools: Template Center. |

Text, Legend and Annotation
JIRA | SUMMARY | DESCRIPTION | DETAILS |
|---|---|---|---|
ORG-26182 | Built-in LaTeX Support | Using SVG drawing for LaTeX | LaTeX App and MikTex installation no longer needed. LabTalk substitution notation \q(\varphi_{\mu, \sigma^{2}}(X)) will use built-in SVG rendering by MathJax JS library. @MKX=0 to mean use built-in LaTeX and user must manually set it to 1 to go back to old way
How it works in Graph/Layout window
How it works in Worksheet cell
How it works in Notes window.
Support using third party extensions of MathJax
|
ORG-25575 | 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.
|
ORG-26599 | More Legend Substitution Notation | Show plot’s layer & group name, plot index or column designation info. in legend | More legend substitution notation added for translation mode.
E.g. the following legend shows layer name (@L3) - plot index (@LX)
|
ORG-25886 | Better default legend position | LabTalk command to intelligently reposition the Legend. | LabTalk command |
ORG-26352 | Hide Markers in legend | 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). |
ORG-26429 | Easier way to turn on Active Dataset Indicator in legend | Indicate Active Dataset button on legend level MT button | Toggle to turn on/off active dataset indicator in legend. When it’s on, a red frame will show on legend of active dataset. By default when opening analysis tools from graph window, active data will be used as the input. Click on other symbol in legend will change active dataset. The frame will show around the newly clicked plot symbol in legend. In the past, user would have to choose Format: Page… to open Plot Details dialog. Check it on Legend/Titles tab. |
ORG-26114 | Add straight line consider divide by factor | 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. |
ORG-26406 | Annotation moves with plot with offset | Annotation should move with data plot when offset is changed | New system variable is added @AFP=1 (default). When it’s 1, when text property text.follow=1 by default when adding new annotations. It will not affect existing annotation in existing project file. |
ORG-26466 | Attach Legend to Plots Improvements | Fix translation mode of of labels after using Attach Legend to Plots button on legend MT button | User could use Attach Legend to Plots button on legend mini toolbar button to put legend info. next to each plot. E.g. in following image, user sets legend to represent mean value of each plot. Click the Attach Legend to Plots button, legend info. will be attached to end of each plot and they are linked.
If user then changes the legend to show other info., e.g. Comments info., the label after each plot will change as well. In Origin 2023b, a system variable @ALP to control it. By default it’s 0 so label translation mode will be fixed so changing legend afterwards will not affect labels. Set @ALP=1 to roll back to old behavior. |
ORG-26070 | Vertical Alignment option for Data Info. and Tooltip layout | Vertical alignment options added for Data Info. window and tooltip window | There used to be Horizontal alignment only when customizing data point tooltip and data info window. In Origin 2023b, vertical alignment options are added for tooltip layout when mousing over data points and data Info. layout when using Data Reader, Data Cursor, etc. To customize in Data Info. window, mousing over data point in graph. Right click inside the yellow tooltip and choos Preferences…
Click Pencil icon on top of column header column (Note: Vertical alignment is shared across all columns while Horizontal alignment can be independent in each column)
To customize Data Info. window when using Data Reader, double click in Data Info. window to open Preferences dialog and click Pencil icon in column header.
|
ORG-10287 | Show fill legend entry only for area plot | Origin support show fill entry only for fill under curve=normal or fill to base. for @LLAB, the 1st bit control whether we should show fill entry(see S6), the 2nd bit control whether we should use old style legend(fill only) for normal and fill to base. 1 to use fill only legend for normal and fill to base. |
|
ORG-23231 | Legend title with different style, justification and spacing | Better Partial Text Alignment. Text Property Dialog To Support Selection Alignment. |
