JIRA | SUMMARY | DESCRIPTION | DETAILS |
|---|---|---|---|
Align single layer relative to page | Enable toolbar buttons on Object Editor dialog for align a single layer relative to page | Before Origin 2024, the alignment toolbar buttons only works for multi-layer, multi-graphic objects, or layer+object selection. There was no easy way to align a layer relative to page, such as center of the page horizontally, etc. In Origin 2024, user can select a single layer and then use Left, Right, Top, Bottom, Vertical, Horizontal toolbar buttons to align layer to page.  Note: if the selected layer is one of the following, align it may affect position of other layers. Please unlink first, or not check the checkbox, or change size unit not to be % of linked layer first before alignment.

Plot: Map menu added | Gather all plot types on map under this new submenu | Reorganized Plot menu so that it’s easier to find plot types on map  | |
Graph/Layout Dark Mode Color | Customizable Dark Mode Auto Color when graph/layout background is auto | This will be helpful for users who want to create dark mode graphs User can turn on dark mode for graph/layout window types. When turned on and background is auto (new default), it will follow the dark mode background color, which is customizable.  With graph window active, click the 2nd button on Dark Mode toolbar to turn on dark mode for graph/layout window type or click the 3rd button to turn it on for active graph/layout window only. The color for dark mode in graph is a global setting for all graphs in dark mode and is customizable. Click the 4th button to change background color.  Depending on darkness, black may auto reverse to white. When copying graph page to other applications, by default what you see will be what you get, except background. Background will be transparent. If you don’t want reversed color, uncheck Preferences: Copy page in Dark Mode like on Screen checkbox. There is also Follow Dark Mode Color checkbox in Export Graph and Copy graph as Image dialogs. Useful system variables and script
5 = Customized (default) - use Preferences: Dark Mode Color Mapping… to edit the corresponding colormapping. | |
Drag or scroll to change axis scale | Change axis scale without need to open axis dialog | Easier way to only change begin or end.
Both dragging methods snaps to major ticks. Note: System variable @DAA is the fast mode factor, default is 3, which means it will travel 3 times faster than the cursor movement. | |
Multiple ROI and Enlarged Graphs | Add multiple zoom in region of interests in graph and show each zoomed in region in a separate graph |
Repeat the process will add multiple ROI and corresponding enlarged graph. Adjust ROI size. Note: If pressing Ctrl key while using Scale in button, user can drag a rectangle in graph to define the ROI size directly.
 | |
Plot_heatmapxyz Support Multiple Z to Compute Quantity | Support multiple Z with this xf. So input should be same as plot_xyz3dstack. Then we get multiple set of XYZ and run binning for xy and compute quantity for multiple Z. Each Z will be a virtual matrix. | If source data of XY is not set as categorical, we want to union elements in all X or Y column separately to get X Y of result virtual matrix. | |
Support categorical for Text on header row (for waterfall) | When Z Value Source’s label is categorical, we should use its categorical values to set up axis scale range. And when axis type is Column Name or Label, we should check if it is categorical and then make use of it. |
In order to support categorical tick labels, must set these settings: Axis Scale tab> Majora Ticks > Type: By Plot Column Label Axis Scale tab> Majora Ticks > Column Label: Comments Axis Tick Labels tab> Display > Type: Column Name or Label Axis Tick Labels tab> Display > Display: Comments | |
Index/map plot elements by column label row | For grouped plots, support indexing or map plot colors of each plot by column label row info. | For multiple plots, on By Plots tab, user can specify plots color etc. to change backed on column label rows. 3 options are added:
E.g. in the following graph, the colors can be set to be indexed to Continents row info. in worksheet.  | |
Indicate Graphic Object Attached to Page | (Page) after graphic object or text object in Object Manager | User can easily tell if a graphic object or text label is attached to page or not.  | |
Easier way to copy node path | Copy Node Path context menu added in Theme Editing dialogs | User may want copy the node path and use Python etc. to directly edit the node. | |
Inserted table/worksheet support dark mode | Add system variable @tcp to control dark mode of inserted table/worksheet | System variable @TCP is added. 0: following graph’s dark mode, default 1: following worksheet’s dark mode 2: light mode 3: dark mode | |
Auto Color Support for Graph Elements | Improve Auto Color for base color |
| |
Window title bar dark mode | support dark mode for window title bar | System variable @WTD is added. 1:Draw title and frame in dark mode if GUI is dark mode. default 0:never draw title frame in dark mode. | |
Customizable Color Mapping ini Editor | add a worksheet template, open this template and load the current ini | select Preferences: Dark Mode Color Mapping | |
Link or share X and Y Axis From, To and Tick settings within a layer |
|
 | |
Show Image in Tick Label and Data Label | Origin2024 support show image in tick label and data label. Image size is controlled by font size. | Insert image in worksheet column/label row and select this column/label row for tick label, image will directly show in tick label. The same for show image in data label.  | |
Online Template for 2024 | Added More online Template for 2024. You can get the latest online template via Tools: Template Center. |

Show label at min, max points | Easier way to label min, max points in graph | On Label tab of Plot Details dialog, user can check Show at Specified Points Only and enter min max begin end (space separated) to show labels at maximum point(s), minimum point(s), begin and end points. Begin (also -1) is used to refer to 1st point in display in case user scaled in. Before Origin 2024, there was only row indexing e.g. 1 for 1st point, 2 for 2nd point, 0 for last points. To label min or maximum points user would had to manually find the min and max’s corresponding row index first.  |
Graph Customization
JIRA | SUMMARY | DESCRIPTION | DETAILS |
|---|---|---|---|
Sort Alluvial Node by Frequency | We can sort Alluvial node by name/ frequency. | In Node tab, add Node Order by option above Gap between Nodes. dropdown could be
| |
XF to Create Multiple VM and Plot Heatmap | A new dialog: plotmultivm to create heatmap with multiple info in one cell. | Command line usage for Existing Virtual Matrices type: plotmultivm datatype:=vm irng:=VM1|VM2; | |
Layer Content and Plot Setup Issues to Create Heatmap | Plot setup and layer content could list virtual matrix | In layer content, we list Virtual Matrices in data type dropdown list. We also do the same for plot setup, list Virtual Matrices above Loose Datasets. It should also list “Heatmap“ in Plot Type list box. | |
Alluvial Label Improvements | Alluvial Plot Label On Top Outside Node Position All Left/Right | In Label tab, add Position option in Show Label for plot group, under font, ratio could be Top, Bottom. Move Offset to 3rd line after this option. For Outside Node Position, add Left, Right option before Top. This change could also apply to Sankey. | |
Fit Page to Layers Include All Graph Objects | support Fit Page to Layers Include All Graph Objects | In Fit Page to Layers dialog, add checkbox variable “go“ Include All Graph Objects in the end, default select it. Select it means all graph objects should be included when fit page, including graph objects that attach to page. In Button Edit Mode (Ctrl+Alt+B), if a graph object is attached to page: a string “(P)” will be appended to the displayed object name. | |
Sankey Map Support Pie Node | show in and out pie chart instead of bubble | In Node tab of Sankey Map, add Show In&Out Pie Chart for Node checkbox under Fill color. Default is unchecked. | |
Increment by one or stretch depending on if it's color list or palette | When we set a color list, if increment is None/Binned/Stretch, we should set it to by one. For palette, no need to change current rule. |
If go to Plot Details → Group tab, the Line Color increment is stretch. | |
Legend Background Color | For any text object(including legend), set frame to box or shadow, fill color should be None by default. | add sys var @TFC. default is 1. it set text object fill color be None by default. if set as 0, it set as white. | |
Browser Plot should support changing source data when intermediate sheet involved in plotting |
| We only list source data in browser panel if there is one plot created base on one intermediate sheet. It will show the real source sheet in go to source sheet context menu and MTB. | |
Better auto binning in XY and XYZ Heatmap | Better binning min, max, and increment to get better heatmap tick labels | Depending on data, better min, max and increment value for binning so better heatmap axis tick labels will show. | |
Missing value color control in colormapped plots | There was missing value color control in contour plot only in the past. The control is added for any colormapped plot. | For plot with color mapped to a column, missing value control is added on Colormap tab of Plot Details dialog. User can set the condition to treat as missing value and color for it.  | |
Want Label Form Support for Sankey Node | When there is node label column for sankey(FTWN), we could add Display Name dropdown after wrap text checkbox, dropdown list show columns in same sheet. Select it, we should replace Sankey node label with display name according to row index of node label. | It only works for Sankey(FTWN). If it is Sankey(FTW) or Sankey Map, no display label. | |
Automatically Set as Categorical for Column Label Row |
| Set following setting, it automatically set as categorical for selected label row
If a label row is set as categorical, we will use categorical value to map color list. | |
Support Filling to Next Plot for 3D Waterfall | Support fill to data plot in same plane(same Z value) for 3d waterfall. | In Outline tab of 3D Waterfall(3d wall with outline width=0), add Fill Area under Curve group | |
Tab key to change 3d Operation mode | Show 3D operation buttons when mini toolbar is turn off | When mini toolbar is turn off(under View menu), we show the old operation button when select layer. Press Tab key to switch the operation buttons. | |
Apply Theme to Layer | We can apply theme to layer on Theme Organizer. | Add Active Layer and Specified Layers to Apply Theme to dropdown. | |
Support None option for border color of Histogram graph | Add None option in Border color control for histogram plot and box plot. |
==> There is no None option on the color panel. | |
Pie Map support drag to reposition the pies like Bar Map | Support Ctrl+ drag to repositions the pies like what we can in bar map. Add Map tab for special point in Pie Map | In the past, could not move some overlap pie in pie map. In Origin 2024, Ctrl+ drag to repositions the pies is supported. Map tab for Pie Map Special point to control point offset is added in Plot Details dialog, with Position control and Leader Line control. | |
Layer Background Color Support by Column Label | New By Layer tab in Layer background Color control in Mini-toolbar and Plot Details' Background tab. You can set Column Label row to set layer color | In the past, layer background color only support single color. In Origin 2024, layer background color by column label of 1st plot is supported. Set by layers we will set it for all layers even if there is no common display. But single layer could still set single color layer background | |
XF Arrange Layers needs to have graph variable as input | Add a GraphPage variable igp for X-Function laymxn, assuming active window as input. | In the past, XF laymxn assumes active window as input, which is not convenient for script access. The variable is hidden, default value <active>, placed under ygap. | |
Template Library should allow opening templates without needing to add data | Origin2024 is able to open a blank template from the Template Library. Open Button is added to implement the feature. | Open button is only active for user’s template or Extended template. For system template, Origin will not enable open button for system template. Open button will open the window in current folder. | |
Support to calculate the value of stats reference line using data only inside the axis range | Add a new checkbox Use Data within Axis Scale Range for Calculated Values in Reference Line tab of Axis dialog. Checking it means reference line operation will just consider the data in the axis range. | In the past, add reference lines to a plot (e.g. the mean value) Origin calculates the mean value for the whole dataset. Now a new option Use Data within Axis Scale Range for Calculated Values is added in Axis dialog’s Reference Lines tab, under Alternate Fill option. When it’s enable, reference line operation will just consider the data in the axis range. | |
Want -1 to indicate start point in layer | For show at specified points only in Plot Details’s Label tab, -1 now is used to indicate 1st point in layer, so the plot label will show even if axis scale is changed. | For show at specified points only in Plot Details’s Label tab, Origin support 0 to indicate last point in layer. But for 1st point, index is 1, it will always indicate the 1st point in plot. Origin2024 will use -1 to indicate 1st point in layer, so the plot label will show even if axis scale is changed. | |
Duplicated Image Profile should have Separate Control | Add Save/Load context menu (under Rename) when right click on the profile line tab. | If you has many customized profile straight lines on image1, and like to transfer the profile lines to Image2. You can duplicate the graph, or right click the profile line tab and save the profile as file and then reload it. | |
Gap Between Subgroup for Column/Bar Plot | Add Gap Between Subgroup(%) option above Overlap option in Spacing tab of Plot Details. | In plot properties of Column/Bar plot there is a new way to apply spacing on Subgroups. Add Gap Between Subgroup(%) option above Overlap option in Spacing tab of Column/Bar plot, same dropdown list as Gap Between Bars. Show it when there is subgroup settings. | |
Option for error bar to follow line color instead of symbol edge color in Line+Symbol graph | Add a new system variable to change the meaning of error bar auto color: @eflc. With @eflc=1, it will follow line color. | Origin’s error bars color’s Auto (in Plot Details dialog’s Error bar tab) means following symbol edge color. Origin2024 | |
Option for error bar to follow line color instead of symbol edge color in Line+Symbol graph | Add a new system variable to change the meaning of error bar auto color: @eflc. With @eflc=1, it will follow line color. | Origin’s error bars color’s Auto (in Plot Details dialog’s Error bar tab) means following symbol edge color. Origin2024 add a new system variable to change the meaning of error bar auto color: @eflc. Note default @eflc=0, error bar auto color should still follow symbol color. Set @elfc=1, it will follow line color. | |
Option to set Axis title offset from axis line instead of tick labels | Page level property to set axis title offset relative to axis line instead of axis line tick labels. Add a LabTalk command to implement it. | When stacking graphs, y axis title’s position’s X offset follows tick labels instead of axis line. Add a new LabTalk command: page.ytitle = 1, there is no such option for X title. page.ytitle = 15 means 15% from the layer frame, And use large value like 1000 to mean OFF | |

Internal and LabTalk access for graphic object drawing order | Add new LabTalk property to access the graphic object position drawing order | Syntax: Graphic object drawing order. 0x000F mask: 0 = all plots, 1 = plot group, 2 = individual plot, 3 = ref lines 0x00F0 mask: index (0-offset), only for plot group and individual plots cases 0x0100 = before, if not set, then it is after Example: Rect.order=hex(42) The rectangle will be drawn after the fifth dataplot: digit 4 is 0-offset dataplot index (which means it is the 5th dataplot), digit 2 at the end means individual dataplots. Rect.order=hex(111) The rectangle will be drawn before the second group plot: first digit 1 means before, second digit 1 is 0-offset index, the third digit 1 means plot group (which gives the meaning to the index: it is the index of the group). Rect.order=hex(003) The rectangle will be drawn after the reference lines.

Sheet Switching Browser Graph | Turn on the left browser panel to change all plots to data from a different sheet | If user has many worksheet with same data structure and plot a complicated graph (including multi-panel) from one sheet, user can turn on the left panel to easily switch worksheet. Plots in graph will all be switched to new sheet. How to: Click edge of graph page so that page level mini toolbar shows. Click the Sheet/Book Switching Browser Graph. (Note: the sheets doesn’t have to be in same workbook window)  LabTalk Script Access: page.canswitch = ; //0, 1(sheet), 2(book)
page.switch("[book2]sheet");
page.switch("sheet"); //without book name means to use the same book
page.switch("[book2]");
