3D XYZ Floating Bar

The support added is similar to the 3D Stacked Bar with X, Y, and multiple Z data. The bar is from one Z to another Z, with the logic being similar to that of the 2D Floating Bar.

1. Added 3D Floating Bar after 3D 100% stacked bars in Plot menu.

2. Support added for Bar Shape option. For partial pyramid and partial cone, maximum bar length is considered to be full.

3. For the label, Bottom is the start position and Top is the end position.

Update Legend on Plot Removal

Improvements made to legend updating when a plot is removed from graph.

In the past, when a plot is removed from graph, there was still a trace of it in the legend, requiring a manual refresh from the user (Ctrl+L) to update the legend.

In Origin 2024b, the legend automatically updates when a plot is removed from a graph. The corresponding Legend Update Mode in the Plot Details dialog has been updated to say Update when Adding/Removing.

Graph Long Name is shown in more places

The graph’s Long Name is shown in Merge Graph Windows dialog and Object Manager window (if it exists).

In the past, users could add a more descriptive Long Name for a graph but the Merge Graph Window and Object Manager would still show only the Short Name, which made it hard for user to identify the window.

In Origin 2024b, if there is Long Name for graph window it will show, otherwise the Short Name will show.

In Object Manager, users may right-click the top node to return this setting to Show Page Short Name.

Plot graphs directly from Image window

The Plot menu is now available for image windows. This allows images to be directly plotted to a histogram, contour, heatmap, profile or 3D surface graphs.

Before Origin 2024b, users would need to convert image to matrix before plotting it.

In Origin 2024b, users can directly plot applicable graphs such as histogram, contour, etc. from image window.

Open

To plot a subregion, use the Rectangle, Circle, Polygon or Region toolbar button to draw the Region of Interest (ROI) on image, right-click on ROI, then choose Crop (or Create Linked Image to create a new image window of the subregion). Plot from there. Multiple ROIs are supported in image windows.
