Hey all,
I am currently fighting with the OriginPro graph export.
The situation is as follows:
I have a graph with two layers, positioned besides each other.
The first layer shows several data plotted as lines, the second one shows a 2D-Heatmap.
Now if I export this graph in vector format, of course Origin will try to vectorize the Heatmap as well, which results in filesizes beyond 100 mb. So what I want to do is the following:
Export everything as vectorformat (line graphs, axes etc.) except the heatmap data and embed those data as raster image (png or else).
Is there any chance to get this working in Origin, OriginC or LabTalk?
Right now I am doing the replacement by hand, exporting the graph without heatmap data as vector, then opening the vector file in a different software and importing the heatmap data as png, which is a real pain.
Thanks for any attempts to help.
Best

Hi,
One solution could be to use screen capture tool (e.g. snipping Tool in Win10) to copy the Heatmap layer as a raster image, then Ctrl+V to paste it into the other layer. Save the graph as vector format. See if this works for you.

Hi James,
thanks for the suggestion.
This indeed maked it at least one step easier. I now just export the Map-data as PNG and reimport them into the Origin Graph. However, this only seems to work for PostScript export, not, e.g., for EMF.
Still, a native solution would be nicer, such as the option to export as vector format with embedded raster images.
