Hi.
I'd like to make a template in which the graph title is set to the graphs long name. I found that if I set the title to %h it would be named after the short name but I cannot find out how to use the long name.

P.S.: Origin 8.1

I'll give the multilined pagecomments a try. It was just nice and neat to name the graphs windowtitle and automatically the graphs titlelabel.
Thanks for your efforts, Snow! |

Hi Christian,
I am not sure if long longname can be put into multi-lines automatically.
How about you manually give the multi-line text to page comments and then add comments as label. It will show the comments as specified.
page.comments$="firstline%(crlf)secondline";
label -p 50 0 -s %(page.comments$)
Thanks, Snow |

Hi Snow,
thanks for your reply. But it doesn't answers my question exactly.
I made a graphtemplate with a text label at the top, which is used as graph title. This title is gotten from the graph-windows longname with %(page.longname$). Some longnames are too long to fit in one line (of the label) and it would be nice to break the lines in this label automatically. But maybe there is a much simpler way to achieve what I want to achieve 
The list of @text-label options is definetly worth bookmarking it  but it doesn't seems to make it possible to get the graph-window longname into a textlabel.
I've found the page object reference. As I know from this thread, I can use the labtalk variables in the label substitution. But as I mentioned before, I wasn't aware of this possibility.

Hi ChristianJ,
In latest Origin 2016, user can specify what to show as Graph short name as long name instead of the fixed Graph1, Graph2, ... when creating new graphs from template.
You can watch this video for details
http://originlab.com/Index.aspx?go=Support/VideoTutorials&pid=3190
We don't support line break in long name. But you can store some multi-line text as comments of graph window but they will not show in window title.
You can look at http://www.originlab.com/doc/LabTalk/ref/Text-Label-Options#Complete_List_of_.40Options
to see many @ notations
Thanks, Snow |

Hi,
is this kind of substitution (page.longname$) documented online? Could anyone give me the link, please? I was only aware of the short version so far (@LM, ...).
And another little question: Is it possible to insert linebreaks automatically into labels, if the graph-windows longname is too long? |

Hi Martin,
Set the label text to be:
%(page.longname$)
and of course make sure to check the "Link to variables (%,$)" check box in the Programming Control dialog for that label.
Would need to refresh page to update label if name is changed later.
