Origin Ver 2016 . and Service Release2 (Select Help-->About Origin):
Operating System: Windows 7

Hello
Is there a way of applying a background white-out to a font and not the full label using scripts?

for example:
say I have some text labels on a plot one might be called called linea21text, I can use the command

linea21text.background=4;

to make the whole of the background white-out. The problem is my label runs at an angle so what I get is

https://my.originlab.com/ftp/forum_and_kbase/Images/100000.JPG" border="0">


The difference between them is as below: if you look at the properties for each label



and



In the first image the whole label is white-out background. In the second the font/text itself has a white-out background. Now there are script commands to apply italics, superscripts, underline etc to the text but I can't find any to apply the whiteout to the background. I don't really want to do this manually all the time and the text needs to align itself with an angled line so the full label white-out is not ideal.


Does anyone have any solutions?

Thanks
Andrew

Hi Andrew,

I am sorry that we cannot control this option via LabTalk so far, but I will forward your issue to our share meeting to see if we could improve it in the future.

Regards,
Yuki

We will add this in the upcoming Origin 2020. You can contact tech support to request a beta version to try.
