Origin Version (Select Help-->About Origin): 7.5SR4
Operating System: Windows XP
How can I change the default behaviour of the x and y axis titles to show eg the label of the x or y axis? It's always amazed me that Origin didn't do this automatically, as it must be what most people require?
This seems an obvious question but I can't find the answer.
Thanks in advance,
Chris. |

Hi Chris,
In 8.0 version, we are adding new header rows like Long Name, Short Name, Units, Comments, etc in new workbook. And we are also planning to automatic use of these fields when generating plots.
To that end we are adding some substitution notations to LabTalk so that they can be automatically placed those header rows in Axis titles and Legends.
Thanks,
Sammi

Hi Chris,
As you probably agree, Origin graphs have sophisticated structures like groups, layers, various 2D/3D graph types, etc. But, if you are only looking for a simple graphing such as a scatter/line graph from highlighted columns, you can try the following simple script.
First, put these lines in the CUSTOM.OGS file by a text editor like Notepad. After that in Origin, highlight first 2 cloumns in a worksheet, then click the Custom Tool tool button. You get axis labels from the column names and labels.
Hope this tip helps a little bit of your work...
