OriginPro 9.0.0 (Student version) Win& 64-bit running on VMware Fusion 5.0.2

Hello,

I have added a line to a graph at a specific place on the X-axis. Using the Programming Control dialog, I have set the attachment to "Layer and Scales". Using the Object Properties dialog, I have set the alignment to "Vertical" and "Whole Layer". I also set Coordinates to "Units: Scale" and the "Begin" and "End" X-axis to 723/723 respectively.

My goal is for the line to stay at that X-axis point and stretch vertically when I scale in and out of the graph. I HAVE DONE THAT.

However, I also want to attach some sort of label to that line (see image) such that the label is attached at the top of the stretched line and stays there (remain visible) when I scale in and out of the graph.

I added a Text object (meant to label the line) to the graph and tried every combination of settings and cannot get the text to stay aligned with the line and remain visible.

Any suggestions?

You need to use LabTalk for that, see

http://wiki.originlab.com/~originla/wiki/index.php?title=LabTalk:Graphic_Objects#Connect_method

Basically, once you have the line setup and text setup, assuming that the line has a name Line1 and the text named Text1, then you do

Line1.Connect(Text1,0);

will do.

Hi,

As you have ver 9.0, you can also try the menu item:
Graph->Add Straight Line
which will allow adding a vertical or horizontal line at a specified location and provides a label that goes with the line, which can be locked or left editable.

Thanks for both suggestions, especially the one for 9.0.0- that one is just what I needed.
