Hi everyone,

I am looking for a way to modify just the error bars of my graphs. I can use 'doc -e DY' to get just the non-error datasets.

I can modify the marker width of the error bars via set command. And on bar charts I can change the symbol size of all plots (doc -e D {set %C -z 5}), as this has no effect on bars or columns. But how about graphs using symbols?

How to differentiate between datasets for the symbols and datasets for the error bars?

Ugly workaround:
First using 'doc -e D' to change the error bars, then using 'doc -e DY' to repair the damage done to the symbols.

Thanks in advance.

Kind Regards,
Johannes

doc -e D {
range rap = %C;
if(rap.type==3)
{
ty %C is an Error Bar;
}
else
{
ty %C is a Y plot;
}
}

Hi Greg,

sorry for the delayed answer, but that does work, but not as I hoped it would.

All Plots:
>>doc -e D {%C=;}
Book1_B
Book1_D
Book1_F
Book1_H
Book1_J
Book1_C
Book1_E
Book1_G
Book1_I
Book1_K


Without the error bars:
>>doc -e DY {%C=;}
Book1_B
Book1_D
Book1_F
Book1_H
Book1_J


So B/D/F/H/J should be normal plots.

But:
>>doc -e D {
range rap = %C;
if(rap.type==3)
{
ty %C is an Error Bar;
}
else
{
ty %C is a Y plot;
}
}
Book1_B is a Y plot
Book1_D is an Error Bar
Book1_F is an Error Bar
Book1_H is an Error Bar
Book1_J is an Error Bar
Book1_C is an Error Bar
Book1_E is an Error Bar
Book1_G is an Error Bar
Book1_I is an Error Bar
Book1_K is an Error Bar
>>


The reason for this behaviour is that the columns were set as Y error, not as Y. This is an old file, so I have no clue why this is so. But this far there have been no side effects, until now...

I was hoping that Origin would recognize that the column was selected as an error bar in the plot setup, rather than taking the column setting.

But at least I have one way to solve the issue. Not nice, but ok.

Thanks for your answer!

Regards,
Johannes
