Hi forum,

is it possible to manipulate the scaling factor of the symbols via LabTalk or Origin C?

Thanks

Peter

Hi Peter,

You can change the data point symbol size with the LabTalk set command...

set dataset -z n;

where n is the symbol size in points (1 point = 1/72 inch).

If that's not what you mean then please elaborate.

Hi Mike,

thank you for your reply. Unfortunaltely this is not what I want to do. I want to use a column as a size index. The default setting for the scaling factor is "1" (It is value in the upper right edge when size of the symbol is set to a column). For my plots this "scaling" must be about 50. Do you know any way to chance this scaling via any form of scripts?

I hope this makes my problem more clear.

Peter

Hi Peter,

I know of no way to change that setting by script (perhaps someone else does) but you can change the default scaling factor permanently by saving the plot as a template.

Hope that helps.

As Mike suggested, how about to use a customized template from the Bubble graph type, BUBBLE.OTP? You can set and save the default base scaling factor to the template, and set up your size index in the second Y column in your X-Y-Y worksheet.
