Better color scheme for graph system theme

We have used our default black, red, blue, green color scheme for many versions. Some users felt the default are not good.

A new system theme Candy Colors & Light Grids is created so when plotting common 2D graphs, e.g. line, scatter, line+symbol, column/bar, box chart, etc. the new color scheme will be used.

Note: All 3D graphs and some 2d graphs don't allow system theme to override so when plotting those, it will still use the old color scheme and color palette.

ORG-14593

Map symbol size to an expression of a column

Sometimes the values in Size Column are very similar and user can't see the size difference. E.g. all are big values, etc.

With Size formula, user can specify some math expression based on values in Size column.

ORG-13699

Control how each plot attributes increment in subgroups of a group plot

ORG-14444 S1

Dropline Direction Control in 2D and 3D graphs

ORG-14518

Provide none color for border line

Add option to select none color for border line



ORG-14637

Adjust sub-group spacing between subgroups of stacked column plot

ORG-14396

Statistical bar support for Box Chart

Box chart can be plotted as statistical bars + data. See Box tab in Plot Details dialog.

In plot_gboxindexed dialog, add a Graph Theme: Box_Mean Bar with SE with setting as Type = Bar + Data Overlap, Bar Represent = Mean and Error Bar Range = SE.

ORG-10621

Support hatching in contour plots for geologists, geophysicists, civil engineers and more fill patterns are added

In Plot Details dialog, Geology fill patterns are added in GUI as well as more normal patterns. Users are able to customize different hatching in contour plots, pie charts or area plots.

ORG-14620

S2, S3

GUI for new patterns

User can ship his own patterns to specified folder of User Files Folder, then the patterns will be shown at the end of the build-in pattern list. 

Two system values are added to control offset factor - @PGXOF: Pattern Geology Scale X Offset Factor(Multiple factor), @PGYOF: Pattern Geology Scale Y Offset Factor(Multiple factor)

ORG-14903,

ORG-14773

Connect mean points, data points or other percentiles

ORG-15033

Add AutoX as a fly-out option for Input:X in Plotting dialog

For some plot types, Origin will open a dialog first for user to specify input and settings before plot is made.

E.g. Trellis Plot, Stacked Plot, Grouped Column Plot - Index Data, etc.

In Input node, user can specify X to be <autoX> if user wants to plot against row indexing

ORG-13552

Allow users to change the line color for Line Series plot

Improve Line Series plot to allow users to change the line color.

ORG-12765

Support Error Bars with Fill Area in Polar Chart

ORG-13835

Support color mapping for inclusive broken option

Fill Area now works for both inclusive and exclusive broken if have modifier.

ORG-14760

Improvements for Box plots customization.

Improve auto coloring for lines inside box so that it will be shown as contract to the box fill color. Two new system variables are introduced:

@BAC: (default 1) works just like @DLC

@BACM: (default 1) to control the behavior of auto

Add an option to adjust the length of box chart line.

Exchange XY of Linked Layers together

In the past, if user has linked layers, such as Double Y, Multi-Y, multi-panel graphs, etc., when click Graph: Exchange X-Y Axes, it only changes current layer's X-Y axes. They are exchanged together now.

ORG-13834

Support Fill to Grid Lines in Polar Contour

The default color fill setting for Polar Contour by Matrix is Fill to Contour Lines. Additional option is added as Fill to Grid Lines in Colomap/Contours tab
