I am tring to follow method 2 in the knowledgebase
"How do I add a non-linear x-axis scale to the top of my graph?"

When I get to step 6 (assigning ticks to a column in labtalk script window) I see the graph quickly refresh, but nothing happens. The ticks are at the same position as they were and my chosen ticks are not used. I have checked that my column is in increasing order with sensible lower X axis values. I'm using origin 7.0 SR4.

Help!

Incidentally, what I REALLY want to do is to have a tick positioned
on the top axis only at every data point, labelled with a label of my choice.

If you are using the script line:

layer2.x.ticksbydata$=column with new tick positions

Rather than using =col(e) as in the example in the knowledge base article try using a more detailed description of where your data is, eg =data2_e (where data2 defines the data worksheet and e the column of data to use)

I think that this should work for you.

I think that this more accurate description of where the data you want to use is should work.

Maybe the knowledge base article should be changed to reflect this.
