Origin Ver. and Service Release (Select Help-->About Origin): 8.6
Operating System: WinXP
Hi all,
i'd like to know if it's possible to remove (or mask) data points in a graph window with no effect on other graph windows.
Because if i remove the points, they will be deleted in the worksheets and if i mask them, they will also be masked in all other graph windows that are using the same worksheet.
The only solution i can think of is to make a worksheet query to have a worksheet which only gives the data to the desired graph but not to others. But i don't really like this solution because i would have the same data in 2 worksheets which can be confusing when you have a big mass of data.
Is there another solution to this?
Thanks in advance,
theresa. |

This probably isn't a good solution, but here is what I do in similar situations when plotting X/Y data from sheets:
1. Right-click on Sheet with X/Y data. Click Duplicate.
2. Quickly replot the same graph using the new, duplicate sheet.
Now you have two of the same graphs but working off of two different sheets. You can play around with the newest graph, perfecting which data you want to plot and it won't effect any other graph already plotted. Kind of tedious and probably not useful unless you have X/Y data in sheets. :/ |

| ...but, as you mentioned, what I responded with can get confusing if you have a bunch of duplicate sheets. |

Origin Graphs and Analysis are designed to be live updates of your data, so if if you mask (or delete) data in one graph, then any other graphs and analyses which depend on that data will change accordingly.
Whichever solution you try (Query or straight duplication) will result in data duplication. If you use sheet duplication, then you can use the right-click context menus for graphs (whether it's the original or the copy) and the left-click context menus of operation locks to go to the source data. |

remove data from graph not from worksheet
