Origin Ver.8.5.0 SR0
Operating System: Win XP
Hi,
my problem concerns the axis scale tick labels. When the frequency of major tick marks is automatically determined using "#Major Ticks" option, it returns uncomfortable non-integer numbers.
For example:
Axis scale: From 0 to 10
#Major Ticks : 4
-> returned tick marks "0, 3.3, 6.6, 9.9"
I want to see something like "5, 10" or "2, 4, 6, 8" instead. The ver.7.5 is clever to perform the automatic round-off using the "#Major ticks", and I want to continue using it on 8.5.
Thank you. |

I guess the change was made in Origin 8 because some customer insisted that Origin should give exactly the number of major ticks requested. Looks like to allow both, we need to add a checkbox that allows the #Major to be approximate, rather then exact. We may have to for next version to add this checkbox since we are very close to making a service release to Origin 9.

Hi Kazuhiko,
To use the "clever" round-off, you can try minus "#Major Ticks".
We allow number of major ticks to be < 0 as a workaround to achieve the old behavior.
When <0, like -4, it means rescale would work as before (ver.7.5) to try to get the best range and number of major ticks will try to be close to 4 but may not be exactly 4.
It should work in 8.5.
