AKazak	Posted - 06/10/2022 : 02:23:46 AM OriginPro 2022b (64-bit) SR1 9.9.5.167 Windows 7 Pro SP1 x64 Greetings! A graph window has page. A page has layers. Layers have plots and graphic objects. I know a way to loop over graphic objects (https://www.originlab.com/doc/LabTalk/guide/Looping-Over-objs#Looping_Over_Graphic_Objects). However I couldn't find a way to loop over plots. https://www.originlab.com/doc/LabTalk/ref/Layer-obj suggests to use layer.plot to get or set the active plot number (index). How do I get the total number of plots in a layer? How do I loop over the layer plots and modify their formatting? Thank you. --- Andrey

A rough(again...) description is: loop over graph, it works on plot; loop over worksheet, it works on dataset (column); loop over matrix sheet, it works on matrix object. Thank you. I agree that the help pages have to be corrected. Ideally, I want to see an Origin object hierarchy schematics to navigate easily. --- Andrey

I could not find this help page easily. Related question Can you also comment on the meaning of the dataset while working with graph. I want to understand the difference between plot and dataset (associated with the plot). For example, while looping through graphs %C contains the name of the active dataset (not active plot). How do I link plot and dataset toghether? --- Andrey
