Hi,

I am trying to shift curves on the Y axis because the values are too similar: all my curves superpose, and it's not readable.

Pb: the only option I found are the different stack options (Plot details > Layer Properties > Stack)... And they are all offset options.

Why is it a problem? because I use a logarithmic Y axis. Let's say my data varies between 10^-5 and 1 => if I add an offset of, say 0.1, my data is now varying only between 0.10001 and 1.1 -> on only one decade instead of 5. -> totally useless on a log scale, my data representation becomes "flat"

Is there any possibility to shift the curves by a factor instead of an offset? I can't believe I am the only one to need such a function.

Hi,

Stack Line by Y Offset curve will support log scale from Origin 2016, which will be released in this October.

Before we support it, as a workaround, I would suggest you manually calculate the log values of the source data and then plot stacked curves from the log values.

Thanks for the answer. My other workaround was just to make a copy of my data, and manually multiply each column by a different factor. I guess that's what the function will do anyway.
