Hello.
Is there a quick way to set different colours for 60 plot lines on 1 graph?

Hi Sebastian,

60 plots in a graph page are a lot.

After you choose the "Line/Border Color" tool button, and select "By Plots" tab as Ken suggested, I suggest the following steps to make the all colors distinguishable:

1) Choose a palette instead of an increment list (to avoid repeating the colors none of increment list has so many colors as 60).

2) Open the Plot Details dialog, and select Group tab. Then, in the table of the style elements, choose "Stretch" for the Increment Column setting so that all lines are distributed evenly in the palette for colors:

You may also try to control the transparency of the color not covered by other opaque line.

Hi Sebastian,

If you're using Origin 2016 you should be able to edit multiple line colors by using the "By Points"/"By Plots" tabs in the stroke color button menu. It'll look like a pen next to the fill and palette buttons.

If you're using an older version of Origin, I would refer to this documentation-
