Origin Ver. 8 and Service Release 6 (Select Help-->About Origin):
Operating System: Win7

I have an old LabTalk script from Origin 7.0 with this line:

work -p 200 line;

1. Under version 8, the program halts at a Plot Setup dialog. I have only 3 columns, one is Disregard, one is X and one is Y. How do I get the script to run without halting for user input? I want an XY line plot with my single X and single Y columns. Other than the column defined as Disregard, there are no other columns.

2. And, while I'm at it, if I wanted to use a user-defined template, is there a way to add this to the script?

Many thanks.

Hi,
For the first question, in Origin 8.0, to plot your data as your want, first highlight your Y column and then use your script
work -p 200

As an alternative option, you may use the script:
plotxy 2 200

,in which 2 indicates your y column index, and 200 is the plot type ID for lines.
For the second one, you may use the following script:
plotxy (1,2) plot:=200 ogl:=[<new template:=LINE name:=MyLineGraph>]

in which (1,2) stands for your input XY range, 200 stands for your plot type ID, and you should replace "LINE" with the name of your template, and the graph window is named as MyLineGraph
You may refer to more detailed information from the following link of our online help file:

Many thanks.

BTW, the link on the plotxy page to the "LabTalk Language Reference: Command Reference: Worksheet (command) (-p switch)" might be broken.

In case anyone else needs it, I found the numbers for the different plot options at
