I have problems reusing one of my old scripts with Origin 6 (german version). It does the following: I have 6 layers on a plot page, I tune the curves (color, style,...) in the first layer and the script matches the appearance of all othere layers to the first one:
for (I=1;I<=8;I+=1) {
lay -s 1;
get %(I,@D) -c var1;
get %(I,@D) -d var2;
...
lay -s 2;
set %(I,@D) -c var1;
...
}
While this worked well in Origin 4.1, now in 6.0 the get command gives allways var1=1, independently on what color the curve really has. But - very strange - {set %(I,@D) -c 2} really changes the color to red! And after I did this (by script, not by hand!) {get %(I,@D) -c var1} gives correctly var1=2.
It seems LabTalk does not recognize changes of color via the menu.
Does anybody have a workaround?

Hi,

I have been able to reproduce this problem. It appears that it may have been introduced as a result of Origin 6.0's expanded color settings. It has been trackered, so that it can be addressed in the next patch. In the meantime, you will need to set the colors using script. Then, as you say, the get command will return the correct value.
