Origin Ver. and Service Release (Select Help-->About Origin): Origin Pro 9.0.0 (64-Bit) SR2
Operating System: Windows 7 Professional

Hello all,

I have a question concerning how to draw a histogram of a special kind in Origin 9.0.0. I have data from three different sensors, let's call them sensor one to three.

Sensor 1 Sensor 2 Sensor 3
2.33316E7 2.60871E7 2.20139E7
2.22446E7 2.37398E7 2.53462E7
2.39149E7 2.63268E7 2.45455E7

I now want to make a histogram highlighting each one of the sensors with different colours. The highlighting works by just marking all of the data and clicking on Plot/Statistics/Histogram. But my problem now is:

The graph is not showing all of the values one on top of the other, but is overlaying the bars. So I'm losing information because I can not see all of the bars. I hope I managed to explain well my problem. I want to see all of the bars and having one on top of the other, so I can see all measurement values on the histogram.

Maybe somebody can help, I'd be very grateful! If you don't understand my problem, please ask. Thank you!

Lorenzo, HEPHY Vienna

Hi,

Please do the following:

1). Highlight all three columns, select Statistics: Descriptive Statistics: Frequency Counts.
2). Set the bin size as you want, uncheck everything except Bin Center and Count in Quantities to Compute branch.
3). A new wks will be created. Highlight all columns in it and plot a column graph.
4). In Plot Details dialog, Layer level, Stack tab, change Offset to be Cumulative.
5). Re-scale the graph.
