Hi,
I am using Origin 7 SR0. I use 2D waterfall plots quite a lot (Special line/symbol - waterfall in the plot menu). When I create a new waterfall plot I get the options buttons to change the offset amounts etc. When I duplicate plots or merge several plots into one then those buttons disappear and I cannot modify the offsets any more.
Is there any way of getting the buttons back or changing the offsets in another way? I failed to find anything in the menus and online help. Or do I have to create my plots from scratch each time if I want to change anything in merged plots?
Can anybody help?
Thanks!

The layer -y LabTalk command works fine. Problem solved! Thanks! :) |

Yes, you can change the offsets using LabTalk script. When you first create the waterfall plot, if you Alt. + double-click on the 'Offset Amount' button, you will see that it runs the following:
run.section(template,waterfal);
This says to run the waterfal section of the template.ogs file. You can open template.ogs file in Origin. You will then see that the layer -y LabTalk command is what creates the offset.
In your merged graph, you will just need to make that layer active and then in the Script Window (opened by Window:Script Window), type the following:
layer -y 20,70
Press Return and you will see that the data is now offset by 20% in the X direction and 70% in the Y direction.
Let me know how it works.
