Hi all !

I've just downloaded the evaluation copy. I have generated a 3D visualisation of a certain distribution. The superposed text on the plot says "Speed mode is on". What is that ? Have I missed out on something ?
Thanks in advance !

Format->Layer->Size/Speed Tab->Speed Mode, Skip points if needed

Used to improve redraw speed and reduce clutter. The watermark (which doesn't print) just reminds you that speed mode is on. You can suppress the watermark somewhere in Tools->Options.

Hi Prem,

As Mike says, Speed Mode reduces graph detail and speeds up screen redraw by reducing the number of plotted data points. The "Speed Mode is On" watermark and the red layer icon in the upper left corner of your graph window are there to remind you that you are not plotting your entire data set. If you find the watermark distracting you may disable it, but be aware that this does not disable Speed Mode.

To disable the watermark:

1. Select Tools:Options to open the Options dialog box.
2. Select the Graph tab and clear the Speed Mode Show Watermark check box.

To disable (or adjust) Speed Mode settings:

1. With your graph active, select Format:Layer from the Origin menu.
2. Select the Size/Speed tab.

For plots created from worksheet data, select the Worksheet Data, Maximum Points Per Curve check box to enable speed mode for all the data plots in the layer that are created from worksheet data. Type the desired value (n) in the associated text box. If the number of data points in a data plot exceeds n, Origin displays a subset of the data plot containing n points, drawn by extracting values at regular intervals from the data set.

For 3D data plots created from a matrix or for contour data in the layer, select the Matrix Data, Maximum Points Per Dimension check box to enable speed mode. Type the desired value (n, m) in the X and Y text boxes. If the number of data points in a data plot exceeds n or m, Origin displays a subset of the data plot composed of -- at maximum -- n by m points. This subset is drawn by extracting values at regular intervals from the matrix columns (X) and rows (Y).

Also, be sure to see this post concerning application of speed mode settings to printouts and graphic export.
