Origin Version (Select Help-->About Origin): 7.5 SR 5
Operating System: XP

Hi,
can anyone please help me to understand how to use the
following two options in the dialog builder:

1) DialogName!graph.create(TemplateName);
2) DialogName!GraphPlaceholderName.attach();

My first problem is, that the template is not found, instead a layer with a default gtemplate is created. Do I have to add a path to the templates?

My second problem is: How can I select a given dataset in order to plot it in my dialog-window. I used the layer icon selection tool as with normal graph-windows, but the datasets selected were not plotted.

Thanks for help!
Stefan

Hi Stefan,

As long as the template is on your User path or the program path you don't need to include the path. (If it's in a subfolder you do need the subfolder name.) Adding plots to the graph is best done by script. Here's the approach that I've been using...

DialogName!graph.create(TemplateName);
DialogName!GraphPlaceholderName.attach();
doc -e P {%W=%H}; // find name of graph window
win -o %W {
lay -i Data1_B; // plot Data1_B
};

The "proper" way to do this is described in an earlier topic...

Hi Mike,
thanks very much again. Everything is working fine now.

By the way: The description of this feature in the Origin Textbook is a little sparse...

Bye
Stefan
