Hi there,

I am currently plotting data on Originshttp://www.originlab.com/ftp/forum_and_kbase/Images/EIS.opj

How can I get autonomatically orthogonal scale, aka (for example)
The 0-20 length on the X axis of automatically the same length than the Y axis.

As far as I remember when I used Origin in the past, it was possible, but I can't find the settings right now. Any advice would be great.

Best regards,

Kentmey

Hi Kentmey,

If you want to let the X and Y axes have equal physical length, you can run the following two-line script:
layer.unit=2; //set the layer size in absolute in inch
layer.width=layer.height; //or reversed
Does this work as you wanted?

It does work, but I remember of an automatic way to do it (such as ticking "orthonormal mode" instead of normal for the axis).

There has never been such a checkbox in Origin.

Incidently, the above works only if the X and Y scales have the same range. For the more general case, you would need:
// BEGIN SCRIPT
tempunit = layer.unit;
layer.unit = 2;
wlay = layer.width;
hlay = layer.height;
waxis = x2 - x1;
haxis = y2 - y1;
if(hlay/haxis < wlay/waxis)
{
layer.width = hlay * waxis/ haxis;
}
else
{
layer.height = wlay * haxis / waxis;
}
layer.unit = tempunit;
// END SCRIPT

Hi Kentmey,

I've included Greg's code into a shortcut button, for easier re-use of this very convenient script.

This button is part of other shortcut buttons that you can download here. The one for orthonormal scale is the last one.

Hope it helps.
