Origin Version (Select Help-->About Origin): 7.5G SR5
Operating System: Win XP

Hello, I'm trying to control the position of text labels (e.g. a headline) in a graph template. Usually I specify the absolute position and calculate the pixel numbers for the label command like this:

xpos_cm=2;
ypos_cm=4;
xpos=round(xpos_cm/2.54*600,0);
ypos=round(ypos_cm/2.54*600,0);
label -s -sa -d xpos ypos -n Title Text of Headline;

But sometimes the resolution of 600dpi is not correct. How can I determine the actual resolution of my template or how can I set it? Are there other ways?

Thanks!
Rolf

Hi Rolf,

I usually use -p option to specify the xy coordinates based on the percent distance from the top left corner of the layer like:

label -p 2 5 -s Name: %K

Of course, this specifies the location according to the layer instead of the page. Is this a reason you use -d option?

Hi Hideo,

I've designed a template with a empty layer (non visible graph) as a titlepage for a measurement report. This report will be filled out during data processing. Thanks to your reply I've got another solution: To address certain fields to write information I should use the scale of my graph...

bye
Rolf
