| Is there an easy way to create one legend that contains all of the layers of a plot? |

loop (ii,1,page.nlayers) {
if(ii==1) %L=Layer 1;
else %L=%L
Layer $(ii);
lay -o ii {
%Z=""; lay -c;
loop (jj,1,count) {
%L=%L
\l($(jj)) %[%Z,#jj];
};
};
};
label -s -n legend %L;
That will put the full dataset names in the legend. If you just want the names you usually see in the legend replace %[%Z,#jj] with %(jj).

Thanks for the script. It has one glitch. The final legend uses the linetype/color for all the lines in the legend based on the layer selected before running the script. Also, can a return be put in so they are stacked in the legend?

Note that you can do this through the user interface, too (assuming that you are using Origin 7.5).
For information, see the Origin Help file (Help: Origin) and search for the topic "Displaying Data Plots from Different Layers in One Legend."

I can't reproduce that. All lines/symbols/colors fit the individual plot types/colors.
...Now I see what you're saying and see no way around it. \l(n) can only refer to one layer at a time.

They should be stacked as the script is written now. For example,
%L=%L
Layer $(ii); // adds a return before appending Layer $(ii) to %L.
%L=%L Layer $(ii); // puts everything in the same line.

This will work in Origin 7.0 and 7.5. (Don't know about earlier versions.)
loop (ii,1,page.nlayers) {
if(ii==1) %L=Layer 1;
else %L=%L
Layer $(ii);
lay -o ii {
%Z=""; lay -c;
loop (jj,1,count) {
%L=%L
\l($(ii).$(jj)) %($(ii).$(jj));
};
};
};
label -s -n legend %L;

In Origin 7.5 there is a simple GUI option "Include All Data Plots in Legend" available in PlotDetails dialog, Legend tab.
Thanks,
Roman. |
