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.
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.
