Origin Version: 7.5
Operating System: WinXP SP2
I got a set of datas than I would like to display in a particular way and I have some questions about the way origin works so far.
My data set looks like the following:
L X xEr+ Y Y
A 2 0.1 102 50
B 3 0.5 150 39
C 5 2 95 68
D 10 7 78 75
E 25 8 200 120
F 50 20 250 180
I want to do a graph but grouping some datas so that they can appear with different colors, eg A & B together; C on its own; D, E & F together.
First problem, selecting X,xEr+,1st Y column; is there any way of having 3 different colors within 1 column? Doing a masking I can get 2 different colors or do I need to separate the Y values into 2 columns.
Second problem, selecting X,xEr+,1st & 2nd Y colums; the x error bar only works with the 1st Y column, any way of getting it to work with more than 1 Y column without having to create new colums and copy/paste it in between each Y column?
Im asking that cause in total I got 20 Y columns so far and if I do create more and more, its getting tricky to work with the data easily.
Cheers

Hi alyrian:
First problem: you can assign multiple colors within a single scatter, line + symbol or column/bar plot by using a dataset to control symbol/fill color. See http://www.originlab.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=4146
Second problem: I'm afraid you'll have to create an additional column of X Error values for each Y dataset (I can't think of a way to do it). I would place it to the right of the Y dataset. Note that you can always use the Set Column Values dialog box to enter a simple formula like "Col(N)=col(B)" rather than doing the cut and paste routine.
