Origin Version (Select Help-->About Origin): 7SR4
Operating System: Windows XP
I have created a column graph and broken up the data into three sets, plotted as layers. Dataset one is rows 1 through 8 and is plotted in layer 1. Dataset 2 is rows 9-16 in layer 2 and dataset 3 is rows 17-24 in layer 3.
Layer 1 looks fine. Layers 2 and 3 are plotting from negative infinity, it seems. For example, if the y-axis is scaled from -20 to +200, there is nothing plotted below the x-axis in layer 1, as expected since there are no negative numbers in rows 1 to 8. However, layer 2 and 3's all of the columns extend below the x-axis. The only negative numbers which should be plotted are a -11 and a -2 in layer 3. In this case, the bar for the x value corresponding to -11 extends from -20 (the bottom of the plot) to -11, while the bar for the x value corresponding to -2 in layer 3 extends from -20 to -2 (instead of from -11 to 0 and -2 to 0, respectively). For all of the positive values, the columns extend from -20 to +n, where n is the positive value. Here is the plot I get:
Has anyone come across this prolem and do you know a fix?

You do not mention linking, and your layers 2 and three should probably be linked to Layer1 with Y Axis Scaling set to 1:1.
If this does represent a three layer graph, then you must have done a lot of hand tweaking of the Column Gap and the X Axis scale or Layer Left position in each layer. The real details of what you actually did will dramatically change any solution anyone could present.
P.S. This is more a question for the Origin forum, than the OriginC forum.

Sorry that I mis-posted this topic. I will re-post in the correct forum.
The layers are linked to Layer 1 and I did tweak the Column Gap and X-axis, but it did not take very long. |
