Hi Peter,

Once you import all data in a single worksheet (X in 1st col, Y in 2nd col, 
and Z in the rest), you can run the following script to plot all Z column 
as a polar contour:

//////////////////////////
%K=%H;
nc=wks.ncols;
for(ii=3; ii<=nc; ii++) {
  window -a %K;
  wks.col$(ii).type=6; //set to Z
  wks.colSel($(ii),1); //activate the col
  worksheet -p 243 PolarContour;  //plot
  layer.x.to=360;  //show 360degree
  window -ch 1;  //hide
};
////////////////////////////

This code designates Z to the 3+ columns, so no need to designate by your self.
To save memory, I hide all plots. Also, when you import the data, I suggest 
not to add sparklines (in the import option). 

Do you think it works?

Hi Peter Roosjen,

Here, we couldn't reproduce the crash. So, could you please send your Origin 
file to us, so that our developers can look at the problem? 
(http://www.originlab.com/index.aspx?go=Support&pid=752)

Also, could you please tell us which operating system (32bit or 64bit?) 
you are using.

Thank you!

Okay, I probably did something wrong. It works perfectly now!

Thank you very much!!

Is there also a way to make this script work in 8.5?

Peter
