Legend and Color Scale improvements

Legend text follow legend symbol color. Also works for color scale.

right click legend to enable object property. Setting color to Auto will have the color of the label follow the color of the symbol.

This is also support for regular text label. If there is %(n) substitution notation(s) and color is set to Auto, it will use the 1st substitution notation's corresponding plot's color for the whole text

Also works for color scale label

Show color scale as blocks of colors and their corresponding range

1. In the Color Scale Control dialog, we can change the display format of the labels from just showing a value to showing a range. (see the result)

2. Allow color bar to be separated.

3. the result：

Notation to Alignment different portions of text in multiple line

add "\^()" as cell anchor, use alignment from the whole text object "\^(l)", "\^(c)", "\^(r)" are LEFT,

CENTER and RIGHT alignment respectively.

"^(lu)" means the text before and after this anchor is a unit, the part before and the part after will not be added extra space by drag and control. But the part before and after "^(lu)" will still consider the alignment separately, like it contain 2nd level.

• Set color as Single, By Points or By Plots

• Large Selection of Color Lists with Varying Luminance

• New Custom color dialog with Color Picker

• Save/load Custom color lists

• Recent Colors list

Color button-menus for various type of single plot is improved: 

1. Support more colors.  In the dropdown list of More colors, user can choose a color list and luminosity variations for each color are generated automatically as a table that user can choose from.

2. Custom color can be changed by Ctrl+click the colorbox. This is indicated via tooltip in colorbox.  Also Custom dropdown list provide users more flexibility to customize the color. 

3. Added a single row of "Recent Colors"  .

Customer color dialog is improved.  Add eye drop tool so that user has more freedom to choose color any where on the screen

Users can customize the color of the plots through toolbar control icons and the tab style color selection fly-out offers user more options for color control of the plots. 

By Points tab:

1. Index/RGB/map the color of lines/symbols/area of each curve to columns. 

2. map the color to the values of whole dataset using y-value mapping.

3. Color using increment color list which can be edited in the plot detail dialog. 

By Plots tab:

1. Each curve are colored with a increment color list.

2. Each curve are colored with palettes.

      3.  The increment list or palettes for "by plots" coloring can also be adjusted in the group tab in plot detail dialog.

Box chart\bar\column plot improvements: allow map color to groups defined through column label

Specify subgroup according to its column label

In the plot detail of grouped box chart plot, allow the color of the box to map to which level of the group which is very useful for dataset with unbalanced group size.  

1. if color is set to vary between subgroups, each group starts with same color(red here) although the size of each group differs(3-4-3 here).

2. If color is set to vary within subgroups:

Stack plot support groups defined by column label

In stack column/bar plot, if subgroup is set based on column label, then we can have the column/bar to stack based on that subgroup.

In this case, subgroup are set based on "Parameters" . 

The resulting bars are colored and stacked based on this subgroup. 

Grouped box chart plot from raw data can sort plot order by group info

Add a check box "sort By Group Labels" to allow nested sorting of the box labels:

Before sorting, boxes are ordered by appearance order.

After sorting, boxes are ordered alphabetically on each group label.

Template-Support using column name when mapping color to a column

Under the Miscellaneous tab in the page level dialog of the graph, add the option Match modifiers by( for template and copy format) that allow users to customize the modifier mapping method when copy format and plot with template. Users can fetch the modifier column by  <offset> ,longname , shortname, etc. 

In this case, two plots are made from col(B) and col(C). In Graph1, the color of the points are mapped to col(D) with longname color.  Setting Match  Modifiers by to longname makes the plot2 colormap to the column with the same column longname, col(D) in this case. If set Match Modifiers by to <offset>, the color mapping column will be specified by the relative position to the plotting column. 

The tooltip in the plot detail dialog of the plot shows the modifier match method.

Y-Value Colormapping for Scatter, Column/Bar, Area Plots

Y-Value color mapping was only supported for line plots including waterfall plots. Since Origin 2016, we added it for plot plot types that support colormapping.

E.g. 

1. Import Group.dat under Samples\Graphing folder.

2. Select column B, C and D to plot them as scatter graph.
   --> Each plot has a unique color, e.g. B is black, C is red and D is blue.

3. If you want to map color of the points to corresponding Y values, click on any scatter point

4. Click Line/Border Color  dropdown list on Style toolbar.

5. Go to By Points tab, choose Y-Value: Color Mapping.
   --> Each point is colored based on the Y values.

When using Y-Value Color Mapping. Origin find the min and max of all Y plots in the group and build colormap levels.

On Plot Details dialog, you will see on Group tab, color's Increment column is set to None, while on Symbol tab, Symbol Color is set to Y-Value: Color Mapping. 

On Colormap tab, the Levels are from min to max of all Y columns in the group of plots.

For column/bar or area plots, the color control is on Pattern tab.
