ORG-12180Heatmap: If deleting some column label rows in the source worksheet, graph disappeared

Plot a heatmap from worksheet data with X or Y in column label row and used Date/Time format

Go back to worksheet and delete some column label row e.g. an empty F(x) row

==> Graph became blank.

ORG-12202Plot Type is Text when adding new plots in Layer Contents dialog

Plot a line graph ad then open Layer Contents dialog.

Add more plot to layer.

==> Plot Type of newly added plot is Text

Found in Origin 2015 SR0 and Origin 8.6

ORG-12074Failure to Pan plots made from Virtual Matrix with Date/Time kind of X or Y values.

When plotting graph with Virtual Matrix with Date/Time kind of X or Y data, the corresponding axis's major ticks will be set to

By Dataset with VM1.sub(x)

Origin's Zoom and Panning tool supports zoom/pan by percentage or by major/minor tick values.
When zooming/panning with major/minor tick mode, it will fail.

issue on Annotation tool for Certain Graph Types like contour/ bubble

 ORG-12233Crash when define gobject for 3d object in OpenGL graph Run script "gobject abc=zf;  //zf is object name of the left z axis title". ==> Origin crashed.

The crash happens since 92sr0, not in previous versions.

Although we do not fully support LT access to 3d text object yet, we should at least make it work as 91 and no crash.

ORG-12405Heatmap speed issueThe graphing speed has been improved for heatmap with large size matrix.Customer
ORG-12470Multi-column legend box because huge when reopen the opj

Plot a graph with multiple data

Ctrl+drag legend handles to arrange legend into multiple columns. (new feature in Origin 215)

Save the opj and then reopen the opj.

==> Legend box becomes bigger. Everytime you save and reopen, it will become bigger and bigger.

The problem only exists in opj made in Origin 2015 sr0. No problem in opj made in Origin 2015.

For problematic opj, you can fix the legend first and save again in Origin 2015 SR1.

ORG-10150Fitted Curve's X data problems

 If source graph scale type is not linear

  • Though X Data Type is Same as Input Data, the x data on FitLinearCurve sheet isn't the same as input X. Existed since 9.1.
  • Though X Data Type is Uniform Linear, the x data on FitLinearCurve sheet isn't linear. Existed since 8.0 SR6
  • Wrong X data for fitted curve in Concatenate Fit
  • Wrong fitted result for apparent fit.

When changing parameters, the X Data Type always reset to default "Use Source Graph Scale Type". Existed since 8.0 SR6

Failed to set output X data type as Log if source graph scale type is Linear.

Wrong X data for fitted curve if choose Log but source graph scale type is neither Log10 nor Linear.
