Origin Version (Select Help-->About Origin): Operating System: Hi, How do I make the "fill color" of an object (a rectangle, circle etc) transparent. I have created a rectangle in a graph layer but I could not see the data points through it. Thanks, COSY
Double-click on the drawn object to bring up the Object Properties dialog and then click on the Fill Pattern tab. Then select None from the Fill Color drop-down list.
Note that also you can simply push the object behind the data. This way you can maintain a fill color and still see your data points. To do this bring up the Object Edit toolbar (if not shown, use View->Toolbars menu item and check the box), and then select your drawn object and click the Back(data) button to push the object behind the data.
Thanks Mr.Easwar for the prompt reply. I have another question. How do I get the index of the datapoints inside a circle. I think its easier with a rectangle (some people have used the variables v1, v2 v3... to get the x and y limits for a rectangle directly, though this has not been documented properly). Thanks once again, COSY.
