                       I recently tried using the data reader button on my Origin 7.5 install, and its being very strange!  No matter what data point in the scatter graph I click, it will always jump to the position on the graph where row 22 is plotted from the worksheet.
  Is there anything I may have set up that could explain this problem?  Its a pretty big labtalk script that plots multiple graphs and collects stats etc.  
  Thanks for any help.
  Laurence

                       Hi Laurence,
  There are a couple of possible remedies for your problem:
  1.  Select your X column and sort your worksheet (Analysis:Sort Worksheet). 2.  Defeat the Data Reader's Bisection Search Points mechanism by entering a number that exceeds the number of data points that you have into the Bisection Search Points combo box in the Options dialog box, on the Miscellaneous tab (Tools:Options).
  This is covered in the Origin Help file topic Analysis:Basics>Data Exploration Tools > The Data Reader Tool > A Note on Improving the Data Point Search Behavior of the Data Display Tool.
  If you are still having problems, we may need to have you contact technical support.  I hope this helps.

                       Hi,
  I tried the suggestions and they didnt work.  I also installed service pack 2 to make sure it wasnt a bug that had been fixed.  
  In more details I am trying to click on a data point in a graph that is generated by a script file.  This script file also generated about 4 different graphs and a report after this initial plot.
  I decided to check to see if it was because the X column was set to a Y during another plot on the same data, I got the same problem though.  
  Out of interest I decided to replot the same data after generating the report with graphs using my script, then tried to use the data reader on the new graph, and it worked!  I then selected the original plot, and the data reader worked on this one too!!  I have done this a few times now and it always works after replotting the same data into a new graph!  
  Any more ideas or is this a job for support?  
  Thanks,  Laurence |
