How can I get an opaque background to a layer in Origin 6.0?
My problem is the following:
I've got a second layer with data in the corner of the first layer. But because the first layer contains data in this area I need an opaque background so that the datapoints from the first don't overlapp with the one from the second layer.
I tied it also with an userdefined-visual object, but I couldn't get it between the data of the first and the second layer.
Any ideas how to solve this problem???

In certain cases, if your data are ordered and have a trend, you can skip certain area at the begining or at the end of them by not plotting them all.
Double click on the top-left layer icon correspondant to the one on the background, select your dataset and click 'Edit Range'. Reduce the plotting range to skip the data that are behind your front layer. |

If your plot type in layer 1 is scatter or line+scatter, you can use the masking tool to mask the points of layer 1 that fall within layer 2 and then turn off display of the masked points. |

Although this is not a best work-around, you may try:
1) Copy the page of your inset graph (Edit:CopyPage).
2) Paste it on the superimposed graph.
3) Double-click the inset graph, and check "Background" and select "White Out".
I'm aware that this inset graph becomes bare graphics loosing all graph controls, but no other alternative came to my mind. I will put my suggestion to our development database.
