OriginPro 2021b (64-bit) Beta1 9.8.5.53
Windows 7 Pro x64 SP1
Greetings!
I make a scatter graph with few plots with different Plot Symbol each. However, points of each scatter plot are colored using the same indexed color list.
The standard legend describes datasets and therefore Plot Symbols.
What is the best way to insert a separate legend for symbol colors?
Thank you.

You can right click and choose Categorical Values to add symbol color legend.
Thanks, Snow |

Got it!
This works fine but introduces redundancy.
Can I somehow make two legends: one for Plot Symbol (each plot) and another for Plot Symbol Color?

Hi Andrey,
See detailed syntax on https://www.originlab.com/doc/LabTalk/ref/Legend-Substitution-Notation
E.g. You can change the 1st two rows to the following so it shows black color
\l(1, edgecolor:1) %(1X, @L) vs. %(1Y, @L)
\l(2, edgecolor:1) %(2X, @L) vs. %(2Y, @L)
What do you mean by making two legends? If you mean separate legend boxes, you can click the legend box, CTRL+C to copy. Then paste it to another location in graph. Then delete those you don't need.
Legend is basically text object with name "legend" and on Programming tab, the Link to (%, $), substitution level is set to 1.
Thanks, Snow |

Dear Snow,
Got it.
A question on syntax: how do I correctly specify the following option (1st line in the table) while skipping PointIndex:
quote:
1=Show Border or Edge color as a block, 2=Show Interior color as a block, 3=Show Pattern Color (or Black) as a block, 4=Show empty Symbol (or special Not Used), 5=Not Used, 6=Not Used, 7=Show actual style.

OK, I see.
How do I choose which text object would be updated on Ctrl+L?
Where do I read more on setting Link to (%, $), Substitution Level option (seems to be powerful)?
Thank you.

I don't know how this works without specifying point index either. I reported this in ORG-23181. For now you have to use pointindex.
Thanks, Snow

OK.
What does PointIndex actually correspond to?
Does it work if I previously set up custom formats for individual points?

pointindex means the point in plot.
e.g. \l(1,3,2) -- 1st plot, 3rd point, interior color showing as block
U can see in examples table on https://www.originlab.com/doc/LabTalk/ref/Legend-Substitution-Notation
When using \l(1), we actually use 1st point's property. That's why sometimes if it happened the symbol size of 1st point is 0, nothing shows in legend. We improved it in 2021b.
Thanks, Snow

Separate legend for symbol colors
