Hi,
I'm a little chagrined to be asking so simple a question, but could someone please tell me how to turn off the legend in an Origin graph without also turning off the axis labels (which is what happens if I uncheck View:Show:Labels as suggested on p. 466 of the manual). I've read Sec 11.4 but can't find out how to hide just the legend. I'm preparing a figure for a journal which does not allow legends. Many thanks. --- michael

Just take a look at the tool bar, you will find a icon for legend, select the proper layer and click the icon will cause the legend of the correspond layer show/hide.

The easiest solution is to delete the legend by clicking on the object and pressing DELETE. If you want to re-create the legend later, click the New Legend button on the Graph toolbar.
However, if you have customized the legend you may not want to delete it. In that case, you can hide the legend using Origin's programming language, LabTalk. To do this, select Window:Script Window to open the Script window. Type the following in the Script window:
legend.show = 0 (press ENTER)
The "show" property controls the show/hide state of the associated named object (in this case, "legend"). Show = 0 hides the object. Show = 1 displays the object. In this example, we assumed that your legend object is named "legend". If you changed the name of the legend object in the legend's Label Control dialog box, then you would replace "legend" with the custom name.

Hi Barb,

After hiding legend by using LabTalk, do you know how to show the legend again?

Thanks a lot!
