Hi, does anybody know how to change the shape of endpoint? The Origin default setting for line is round endpoint which is looks like, (in red circle)



It is not good for display. How can I change it to rectangle shape?

Thanks.

We do have a system variable that controls use of either of the three standard Windows line cap methods:
@LCA = 0; // Use round end cap - radius centered on point value (the default)
@LCA = 1; // Use square end cap - extend line one-half of line thickness
@LCA = 2; // Use flat end cap - end line at point value

But this variable affects Axes and Tick Marks ONLY.

We currently do not support this for any graphic objects and certainly not for lines in a plot which would be disastrous:

For visitors to this thread:

Instead of axis ticks in effect, you can use the the system variable, @LCG for the line/arrow object;
@LCG = 0; // Use round end cap (the default)
@LCG = 1; // Use square end cap 
@LCG = 2; // Use flat end cap
In recent versions, you can set the system variable by choosing "Tools: System Variables" menu.
(Note that no need of "@" in this tool.)
