I should like to know how to solve the following small nuisance: when I do a fit to a dataset which I have plotted in a graph, the legend of the graph automatically changes to default. It often happens that I had already changed the legend to fit my own preferences, which I have to do again then. Of course I can first do all the fitting and only then provide the correct legend, but I should like to know how I can switch off the automatic changing of the legend after fitting.
Regards,
David Bakker |

Hi David,
Right-click on the legend and select Label Control from the context menu to bring up the Label Control dialog. You will see that the legend has the object name of "Legend". Change this name to something else, such as "MyLegend". Once you rename it, operations such as fitting will not change your legend. Such operations however may create and additional (new) legend, which you can then just delete.
There is also a Legend tab at the Graph level in the Plot Details dialog, which has some check boxes. There is an Auto Update check box which controls if the legend should update or not when you move datasets in and out of the layer. But fitting and other analysis operations may not follow this check box.

Hi Easwar
Your first option seems to work. Although the appearance of a second legend after each fit is not very user friendly either... I had already checked that the Auto Update checkbox was off. But unfortunately fitting (and maybe also other data operations) indeed don't follow it. Maybe something to change in a future version of Origin?
Thanks for your speedy help,
David
