Origin Ver. 8 and Service Release 5(Select Help-->About Origin):
Operating System: WinXP SP3

Dear all,
I used to employ the mask tool to hide outliers in my data both in scatter as well as in line+scatter graphs. In both cases masking, say, datapoint n and hiding this datapoint resulted in graphs where datapoints n-1 and n+1 were still visible and point n was invisible. In case of line+scatter graphs there was then no connection in between n-1 and n+1. Turning on "connect across missing data" checkbox resulted in a connection between n-1 and n+1.

After updating from SR3 to SR5, however, the masking tool works differently for line+scatter graphs. Apparently, the mask tool now just hides datapoint n WITHOUT hiding the line between (n-1 and n) and (n and n+1). Thus, although the outlier itself is removed, it is still indicated by the lines of the line+scatter plot (see attached image, arrow marks masked outlier)

Any suggestions to force the old behaviour are welcome.

Best,
Stefan

Hi Stefan,

Apologies for the inconvenience caused by this change of behavior - we will address this in upcoming SR6.

For now you can use the @FDL system variable. If you set that to zero (default in SR5 is 1), then you will get previous behavior.
So you can open script window and execute:
@fdl=0;

You could add this to your macros.cnf file for now.
