Hi all,
I have boiled my problem down to the following simple steps:
1. Open a new Origin worksheet
2. Column - Add New Columns - 4 new columns
3. Right-click B, set as X Error
4. Right-click D and F, set as Y Error
5. Add some simple dummy data to all columns
6. Plot - Line+Symbol - Line+Symbol
7. The X error bars now only appear on the first of the two lines. What is the most efficient way to get them on both lines? Surely there is a better way than making two new columns and copying all my X and Xerr values in there?
I am using OriginPro 2016 SR2 b9.3.2.203 Academic 64-bits on Windows 7 Enterprise 64-bits SP1.
Thank you for any suggestions! |

Thank you, this solved my problem. To anyone reading this: you may have to expand the Plot Setup window, by default it hides the top and middle panel. There is an expand button at the top right. |

Hi Arnoud,
The best tool for the complicated (I mean that you cannot rely on the column designations straightforwardly)
assignment of the dataset from various column location in a worksheet like your case is the Plot Setup dialog.
Here, you can try after making a plot without X error bars for the second Y plot (say column E from a
worksheet with A(X), B(XEr) C(Y), D(YEr), E(Y), F(YEr))at the 7th step in your procedure:
1) Right-click on the layer icon at the top left corner of the graph, and select "Plot Setup" flyout (or choose
"Graph: Setup" menu) to open Plot Setup dialog.
2) In the bottom panel of Plot Setup, pay attention only principal plot datasets (in your case, which have
Plot Type="Line+Symbol"), disregarding any error plots. So, choose the dataset of "A(X) E(Y)" to add the X error bars.
3) You notice that in the middle panel, xEr check box is not checked, so check xEr at column B;
this is what you wanted. Press "Replace" button on the middle panel.
Click OK, and you get the result.
Plot Setup dialog is one of the most complicated dialog, but once you get familiar with it, you would
realize its flexibility and the power: http://www.originlab.com/doc/Tutorials/Plotting-using-Plot-Setup
Hope this helps.
