Origin Version (Select Help-->About Origin): 6.0
Operating System:XP

I want to select a spectra and drag the spectra vertically within the plot window. My purpose for this is that I have multiple overlapping spectra and the absolute Y axis values are not important, the qualitative difference between spectra is important. I cannot show that qualitative difference when the spectra overlap unless I assign a layer to each spectra, with different axis coordinates per layer, or i manually create a new column for each data set, with an y axis offset such as adding 50 to each y axis value in a data column.

Is there a way of just clicking a spectra within a layer and dragging it vertically so that the program automatically changes the y axis limits for that layer? I understand that maybe I will have to create multiple layers, but dragging a spectra is so much simplier than repeatedly changing axis limits in a text box or inventing new columns that i may or may not remember as not real data

If you mean click and drag then no. Translate Vertical works the same in Origin 7.5 as it did in 6.0 and earlier.

You can also use Analysis> Translate Vertical which also changes the source dataset.

Hi:

You can not drag curves on the graph directly, however, I think you can use the Simple Math Tool instead. Active the graph page and select Analysis: Simple Math... from menu. Then you can subtract or add a constant to a curve. (Note that source dataset will be changed)
