Origin Ver. and Service Release (Select Help-->About Origin): 8.5.1 SR2 (B315 - Academic)
Operating System: Windows XP

Hi,

I've got the following problem: I'm generating graphs for my PhD thesis in Origin and I would like to have the same font size in all figures. So I thought I set the figure width to 146.8 mm (the text width in the Latex template I'm using) to avoid scaling of any sorts when I include the figures afterwards in my thesis. Now I have a few figures where I merged several plots into one figure with either several rows or columns. Hence, the various plots share either the same x-axis width or y-axis hight. However, the various axes do not have the same aspect ratio. For instance in one case one plot would occupy 3/4 of the total area while the other plot is rather thin on the right hand side. By changing the aspect ratio of this right plot (reducing the width of the plot leaving the height as it is), the font suddenly changes its size at a certain point. That is, while the properties say that all texts (tick labels, titles, etc.) have exactly the same font properties as before, the reality looks quite different. While this might still be acceptable if it would just change from one picture to the next, it is quite annoying to have two axes with differing font sizes in the same picture. Is there a solution for this other than changing the font size of one axis until it visually fits the size of the other axis?

Thanks in advance for any help.

Hi,

There is a setting in the Plot Details dialog at Layer level, on the Display tab, for deciding whether text should scale or not when rescaling a layer. See this movie for details:
