Origin Ver.8 and Service Release 6
Operating System: Win Xp Pro

I am plotting data and I want to fix it so that I can have symbols with the plotted lines (if plotted in B/W they are easy to discern), the problem is that there are too many data points and the symbols overlap each other. Anyone know a way to display the line but only every third / fourth symbol associated with that line?

Hi alleyn2,

When you show the Plot Details dialog by double-clicking, choose "Drop Lines" tab, and turn ON the "Skip Points" check box, and enter 3 in the box if you want to show only every 3rd point.

But this suppose to skip both line and symbol. But how to keep line intact but drop some symbols?

Hi Naeem,

After setting the desired skip points, go to the Line tab and uncheck the "Gap to Symbol" check box.

Hi
How can I use skip points in a 3D-trajectory-Vector graph? I have plotted a 3D-graph with so many points and now there is no need to drop a line at each point. just every fifth/sixth point is sufficient. thank you for any help.

Hi,

You will need to reduce the number of data points before plotting. Here are two options:

1) Reduce Rows tools: https://www.originlab.com/doc/Origin-Help/reduce-rows.

2) Data Filtering: You can filter data on a worksheet with index conditioning, e.g., mod(i,20)==0 for every 20-th point. For details, see: http://www.originlab.com/doc/Tutorials/Data-Filter

Thank you
James
