Origin Ver. and Service Release (Select Help-->About Origin): 8.1 SRO v8
Operating System: windows xp
Hi,
Can somebody tell me how to automate putting graph axes in a cross which intersects at (0,0). It seems like the origin default option is to put the (0,0) point in a corner. I can manually move the axes but I would prefer to just enter a command into the labtalk.
Thanks. |

You can set axis position as default, as a percentage of scale or as an absolute value.
Leo's suggestion to drag the axis uses the % setting. What you want is the absolute setting.
Select Format : Axes : X Axis
On the 'Title & Format' tab, set 'Axis Position' to 'At Position =' and enter 0 as the 'Percent/Value'.
Change Selection to Left (if you use standard left y) and do the same.
The axes of this graph will always be from 0,0 regardless of what zoom-in you use - and will not show any scale if you zoom into one quadrant.
This can be done through script, but I have only tested in v8.1SR3:
layer.x.postype = 2; // Use absolute
layer.x.position = 0;
layer.y.postype = 2;
layer.y.position = 0;

The problem with doing it that way is that when I zoom in on my graph the axis lines with shift away from 0,0 so that I end up readjusting them again - there has got to be something better! |

Not sure how this could be done via labtalk.
But at least you can adjust axes cross to your favorite position, then save it as a plot template.
After that, whenver you create a new plot, it is based on your new template.
