Hi!

I have multiple plots on different windows in one folder and would like to align the y-axis titles such that their position is the same on the x axis. (e.g. if I were to stack them in multiple rows I could draw a vertical straight line through all of the y-axis titles).

However, the y-tick labels are different (one is scientific and another is decimal) and it seems like the axis titles follow the labels in automatically reposition based on the size and position of the labels. Using the same X Offset setting does not help.

Is there an easy workaround for this? Thank you!

Origin Ver. and Service Release (Select Help-->About Origin): 2020b, 9.7.5.184
Operating System: Windows

Right now the y axis title is relative to axis line+tick label to avoid overlapping with tick labels.

There is an Object Editor toolbar button which is docked on right side of Origin workspace by default.

In one graph with stacked layers, you can drag a rectangle around all y axis titles and click Align left button on that toolbar to align them.

Thanks, Snow

Sorry, I mean to say each plot has it's own window.

Thanks,

I created jira for this improvement
ORG-26540

Page level property to specify if the axis title should follow axis line, or axis label for all layers.

Thanks, Snow
