General
JIRA | SUMMARY | DESCRIPTION | DETAILS |
---|---|---|---|
Align single layer relative to page - beta2 | 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 - beta2 | Gather all plot types on map under this new submenu | Reorganized Plot menu so that it’s easier to find plot types on map | |
Page Auto Background Color on Screen | Set auto background color for graph/layout window when no is specified. | This mainly for display on screen.
User story: Bright plot doesn’t look well with white background color. No easy way to set virtual display color of graph background. Also before Origin 2024, when page background is none, it will be transparent and paste to PPT with dark theme well. But if double clicking such graph to further edit in Origin, it’s hard since the background is none (white) in Origin. User doesn’t want to change page background color in Origin since it will affect printout. Plus when exporting or pasting a graph with none background and put it in PPT, the dark background or images below will show through. | |
Drag or scroll to change axis scale | Change axis scale without need to open axis dialog | Easier way to only change begin or end.
| |
Multiple ROI and Enlarged Graphs | Support Scale in multiple area in one graph. Hold Ctrl+Scale in toolbar to create multiple ROI and its corresponding Enlarged Graph, or right click one ROI and click Duplicate context menu | ||
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 - Beta2 | 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. | |
Provide Copy Path option in Theme Editing etc. dialog | We provide an option “*Copy Node Path*“ in the short-cut menu (placed under Delete item) to copy path. |
Annotation
JIRA | SUMMARY | DESCRIPTION | DETAILS |
---|---|---|---|
LaTeX Equation Access LT Variable | Allow entering substitution notation in LaTeX Equation | ||
Show label at min, max points - beta2 | 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. | |
Colormap from a column support missing value | We add the Missing Value control on the Colormap/Contour tab, similar as contour plot | ||
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. |

Connector failed for Date Time More Cases | Improved JSON Connector to support auto detect date time, and import it as date time data. | For example: the | |
Want to choose variable for BioLogic Connector | Improved BioLogic Connector to support choose variable(s) to import. | When connect to BioLogic file, will show up Data Connector Browser for user to choose variable(s) to import. |
Export
JIRA | SUMMARY | DESCRIPTION | DETAILS |
---|---|---|---|
Want export matrix window as image support graph objects | A new system variable @UPM can be used to control this (default = 1 means to include the graph objects and this fix, or 0 to use old behavior) | 1.New a project, open attached “Test UPC.opju” 2.With matrix window active, select File menu - Export - Image, and export as *.png file with default settings. 3.Check the exported image file. ==> It does not show the graph object (the colorful one, named with “paths“) | |
Plot Highlight Improvements suggested by Thomas Preuer | We support exporting plot selection effect and data highlighter effect. We can support it in Copy Graph as Picture tool and Export Graph tool. | Export Graphs Advanced will be later. If there are multiple plots in the graph, we can select one of them and export the selection effect. We can use data highlighter tool to highlight some data and export the highlighter effect. |

| |
Worksheet Menu Restructure | Add a new main menu Restructure to put data restructuring tools together | For better worksheet data processing, add new main menu Restructure next to Worksheet, and rearrange the menu items. | |
Set as Categorical for Column Label Row | Support setting column label row as categorical | In Origin 2024, we supports color plots by column label. But if you plot 2 groups or 2 layers, the column label like “aa” in layer 1 will map to 1st color, but “aa” in layer 2 may map to 2nd color. So “aa” could not refer to same value in different plot groups or layers. With the categories supports, column label with same “aa” can map to same color in different plot groups or layers. | |
More Clear options in Worksheet | Add Clear mini toolbar button for single worksheet cell or worksheet range | When user select a single worksheet cell, block of cells, column label row, or click the left-top corner of worksheet, a new mini toolbar button Clear will be shown, allow to clear format, contents, or cell notes. |
