Origin Ver. and Service Release (Select Help-->About Origin): 8.5.1 Operating System: win 7
I have customized by default line.otp template and saved that in the user folder with the said name. If I select two XY columns and click on the shortcut for line plot (with a slanted line symbol), I can get that working.
But if i type
plotxy iy:= (1,3) plot:=200
from the command line, it plots with the old line.otp template which i believe is saved in the C:/originlab...
I thought that origin will always check the user folder if any template of the same name existed and use that instead of the one in the C:/originlab...
For a manual plot this seems to work but not for a labtalk one linear. Can someone help me with this please? Thanks,
One template usually contains one default plot type.
On the other hand, different plot types can be added into a same template.
Therefore, in the plotxy tool (and most other tools in Origin), plot type can be different, but template has only one by default (which is origin.otp here).
That is why you see your custom line.otp is not used, but ogl:=<new template:=Line> will work.
