Hi,

Another possibility is:

- Show the Plot Details dialog by Double-click your
plot, choose DropLines tab, and set the "Skip Points"
setting.

Here, I assume that you are plotting a scatter graph.
If you are making, say Line+Symbol, you can goto
the Line tab in the Plot Deatils, and set the
Draw Line Behind. This will connect points through the
X range though still invisible points are in effect.

Hi Mark,

Here are a couple of options for you (there are certainly others):

Plot your data, then manipulate the Speed Mode settings to reduce the number of plotted points. Speed Mode controls are found on the Size/Speed tab of the Plot Details dialog box (Format:Layer>Size/Speed). Find out more by looking up the Origin Help file topic The Graph: Customizing>Data Plots: General Tips>Speed Mode.

Use the LabTalk mod function in conjunction with the Analysis:Extract Worksheet Data menu command (worksheet is active) to extract every nth data point from your data set. For instance, the expression mod(i-1, 10)==0 would extract every 10th data point from your dataset (i = 1,11,21,31, etc.). You can find documentation on the mod function at Help:Programming index keyword = Mod( ) function.
