Origin Ver. and Service Release (Select Help-->About Origin): originpro 8 SR0
Operating System: win xp
Hello people,
I'm having a problem with the way origin shows the axis name in the graph.
I need them in the format: long name / unit for every workbook in a folder
but it keeps showing them as: long name (unit)
I already tried to modify the origin.ini file adding in the [text] section
XTitle=%(?X,@LA) / %(?X,@LU)
YTitle=%(?Y,@LA) / %(?Y,@LU)
but it still gives me the units in round brackets.
Any ideas?
Furthermore, I'm running a script to change the units and longnames of different columns in many workbooks and I need to obtain greek symbols (theta and omega) and a superscripted number in units' cells.
Is there a code to use in the script window to get these automatically in the workbooks?
Thank you in advance |

Thank you Yiming. I did that and it works.
I just wanted see if it is possible to do it from the graph's object properties window. I guess it cannot be done this way but Snowli's solution works fine also.
Best regards,

Hi LS,
In Snowli's second post, in first step, you need to select from menu Tools: System Variables to make the change.
Thanks,
James |

Hi all,
Just found this entry from Google as I am having the same problem. I tried the above but it does not seem to work. Can I check if I got the syntax correct?
I want to have the axes formatted to "long name / unit". In the graph itself, I left click the axis label -> properties, to go into the "object properties" window, I enter:
%(?X, @LUQ=4)
But if I do this, it just shows the long name but no units! What am I missing?
I am using OriginPro 2015 (ver 9.2.272)
Thanks,
LS |

Regarding to 2nd question: We have \g() for greek letters
You can see all the escape sequence we support below:
http://docwiki.originlab.com/index.php?title=UserGuide:Escape_Sequences
Andwe support rich text in worksheet as well since 8.0.
See Quick Help link:
http://qhwiki.originlab.com/~originla/howto/index.php?title=QuickHelp:How_to_insert_greek_symbols_and_subscript_in_plot_legend_and_axis_titles_from_worksheet_headers
GUI Way: Double click a cell in Units row, you can Format toolbar is activated. You can press AlphaBeta symbol down to enter greek. press Superscript/Subscript button down to enter superscript/subscript and they display in worksheet as well.
Thanks, Snow

UPDATES:From Origin 2016 on, user can customize the default axis title display in Tools -> Options dialog. See Unit Display for Axis Title dropdown list on Axis tab there.
FYI, Regarding to your 1st question:
1: Choose Tools: System Variables menu.
2. Enter LUQ as variable name.
3. Enter 4 as value.
4. Click OK. All your future Origin sessions will use Long Name/Unit on graph.
More infor:
http://www.originlab.com/doc/LabTalk/ref/sys-var-list
System variable @LUQ is used to determine the delimiter for Unit when Unit appear as string in Axis Title or Legend:
0 = Unit label will not appear at Axis Title or Legend but only the long name
1 = Unit label will appear as (Unit) (Default if Japanese and English)
2 = Unit label will appear as [Unit] (Default if German version)
3 = Unit label will appear as {Unit}
4 = Unit label will appear as /Unit
5 = Unit label will appear as -Unit
Thanks, Snow |

To get the greek letters from the script, you have to add \f:Symbol(corresponding letter)
For example: \f:Symbol(q) you'll have a theta
\f:Symbol(g) gamma etc..
For subscript and superscript, the code is \-(subscripted letter or number)
for example: cm\+(2) you get cm^2 |

Update: I solved the first part of my problem
I still can't figure out how to code symbols from the script. |
