Origin Version (Select Help-->About Origin): 7.5
Operating System: Win XP Prof
Brand new user and first time posting so hopefully this hasn’t been answered:
I'm trying to plot some simple data in a 3d scatter (3 columns, each with 0-5 answer) but certain data points are “falling on top of each other” and I want to visually see this.
Is there a way to have the individual data point “grow” with the number of corresponding points? In other words, somehow have the bubble at 2, 2, 2 be visually larger in size due to several data points all having 2, 2, 2.
Thank you! |

Hello
Yes, you can do this with the following steps:
1) Add another y or z column to your data which contains the number of occurrence for each data point.
2) Double click on one of the data points in your graph to get to the symbol properties dialog for your data series.
3) In the dropdown list for the symbol size, select your new column, and then in the newly appearing dropdown list an appropriate scaling factor.
If you prefer, you can change the color instead of the size by selecting color mapping in the symbol color dropdown list.
Cheers, Martin |
