Wilkinson Dot Plots

Select at least one column to create Wilkinson dot plots or histogram dot plots

Plot types are added under Plot: Statistical menu.

Dot Plot is a statistical chart consisting of data points plotted on a fairly simple scale, typically using filled in circles.

ORG-29435

Cumulative Stacked Dot Plot

Select at least two columns to create stacked dot plots

Plot type is added under Plot: Statistical menu.

All input multiple columns will be plot as one dot plot and stacked cumulatively.

ORG-29444

Grouped Dot Plots

Select at least one column as input, prepare at least one group column to create grouped dot plots.

Plot type is added under Plot: Categorical menu.

Dot Plot of One Y With Groups, or Dot Plot of Multiple Ys, With Groups

ORG-29444

Grouped Stacked Dot Plots

Select the multiple Y data column for counting.

Plot type is added under Plot: Categorical menu.

Dot Plot of One Y With Stacked Groups or Dot Plot of Multiple Ys, With Stacked Groups

Polar Heatmap

Select θ(X)r(Y)Z columns/virtual matrix(a block of worksheet Cells)/matrix to create heatmap in polar coordinate

Plot type is added under Plot: Contour, Heatmap menu

ORG-29308

Multi-Vari Chart

Select one or multiple Y column(s) with up to 4 factor columns.

Plot type is added under Plot: Statistical menu.

Multi-Vari chart displays the means at each factor level for every factor, it is a multi-box chart with connect lines of mean points and each box plot has box style=no box, whisker range=none, show mean percentile, connect means.

ORG-29309

Variability Chart

Select one Y column with at least one factor column(up to 4 factors).

Plot type is added under Plot: Statistical menu.

Variability Chart can be used to investigate the relationships between factors and a response, and analyze the root causes for variation. A variability chart plots the data and means for each level of grouping factors, with all plots side by side and panel by panel.

Origin draws variability charts for up to 4 factors. You can selectively draw the Standard Deviation chart into the Variability Chart, showing the standard deviation for each factor level combination.

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 belonging to a group is denoted by alternatingicons

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 plots 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

Easy way to explore and compare data by applying filters directly on graphs, without changing the source data in the worksheet

Data filter toolbar, Data: Slicer… menu or page level mini toolbar to add slicer to graph.

• All data in graph must be from the same worksheet

• Filters can be added to the Page, Layer, or Plot level of a graph

• Filters can be controlled from the left Slicer panel for easy manipulation

• Analysis tools and gadgets will update upon filtering data in the graph

See Add Slicer to Graph to see how it works.

Easy way to change all plot’s X data in a layer or whole page

Change X context menu on Layer and Page level

Right click in blank area within layer and choose Change X to change all plot’s X to be certain column.

Right click outside all layer frames and right click to change all plots in all layers' X to be certain column.

Note: There was only Change X context menu on when right clicking on a plot. User would have to click each plot to change the X data or go to Plot Setup dialog to change so. It’s cumbersome.
