OriginPro 8.5.1G SR2 and 8.6.0G
Operating System: Win XP
Hello,
there seems to be a bug in Origins bar graphs. If you use a bar graph and you scale your y-axis from somewhat different from zero an additional x-axis appear at an artificial level of zero.
You can check this with the following steps:
Within a worksheet fill in the first column with 1; 2; 3 in the first 3 rows.
Fill the second column with 75; 80; 85.
Mark the second column and choose the bar graph symbol to draw a bar graph.
Within the bar graph change the lower y-scale from 0 to 10.
You will see an additional line below the x-axis.
Maybe this bug could be solved within the next SR.
Best regards,
Steffen |

Correction:
To hide the y=0 axis below the graph:
In Axis dialog, go to Grids tab.
Choose Vertical on left panel.
Uncheck Y=0
Thanks, Snow

Dear Steffen,
Thank you very much for pointing out the problem of positioning the vertical axis when the scale is changed. I have reported the problem so that our developers can look at the issue to fix it.
For a meantime, as a work-around, open X Axis dialog, choose Title & Format tab, choose "Left" axis, and select "at Position=" for Axis Position, and enter 10 (i.e. "From" value of the axis scale) for the "Percent/Value" field to put the vertical axis at the correct position.

Dear Hideo Fujii,
thanks for your suggestion for the work around. Unfortunately this doesn't work for me. I can write every value into the "at position" field. This doesn't change the additional line at the artificial level of zero.
Best regards,
Steffen |

Dear Steffen,
> I can write every value into the "at position" field.
>This doesn't change the additional line at the artificial level of zero.
hmmm...strange - Could you please try either of the following?
1) When you set 0 to "At Position=", instead of hitting "Apply" button, press "OK" button.
2) Set "% from Left" (instead of "At Position=") to 0 for the Axis Position.
3) Click-and-drag the vertical axis to move it to the right position.
Any one of them worked?

Hi Steffen,
How about, in Axis dialog:
1> Go to Title and Format tab
2> Select "Left" in the left panel
3> Change the "Axis Position" drop-down to "Left"
Then the axis will be drawn always on the left end of the layer, irrespective of the from and to values. Then, optionally, you can also turn on the Y=0 check box in Gridlines tab if desired (if the range of values go both positive and negative for instance).
Does this do what you want?

Hi all,
thanks for your comments. May be I have to point out that I see an additional line below the X-axis. The Y-axis looks good. It looks like that the x-axis is doubled. I receive a x-axis at the right position and a line below the x-axis at the artificial level of zero. You will see this if you follow my error description in my first post.
Right now my work around is the following. I disabled the x-axis and draw a horizontal line at the Y1-coordinate.
Best regards,
Steffen

| Let me suggest workaround. For the example you suggested try first plot scatter plot and than being in the graph window change plot type to bar. It worked for me in 8.5.1. |

Hello asp,
thanks a lot for this work around. This works also in 8.6.0 SR2.
Best regards,
Steffen |

Hello,
I have corrected Hideo's first reply.
The fix is actually very straight forward.
In Axis dialog, go to Grids tab.
Choose Vertical on left panel.
Uncheck Y=0.
For Column and Bar graph, we check Y=0 on Grids tab by default so bars will always start from y=0 line.
This is useful e.g. if you have negative and positive y values. You want to plot negative bars downwards from 0.
But for users who set both Y axis from and to values to be positive, the extra y=0 shows below the axis frame. I have jiraed in https://originlab.jira.com/browse/ORG-15468 and suggested our developer to hide the additional y=0 line if it's beyond the Y axis range.
Thanks, Snow
