Origin Version (Select Help-->About Origin): 7.5
Operating System: Win 2000 or Win XP

I frequently construct X-Y plots that have several waveforms superimposed. Typically, these correspond to several different Y-columns plotted againt a common X column. I would like an interactive means of stepping through each waveform to display just one plot at a time. I imagine a pair of buttons, "up" and "down" or "previous" and "next" that could be clicked, causing the display of the requested waveform and hiding of others on the same layer. Is there such a tool built in, or has anyone created a LabTalk script or C object to accomplish this? Another useful variant would highlight just one trace at a time (perhaps solid black line, or a bright color) while graying (or rendering in faint pastel colors) the other traces.

Thanks,

Dan Feldman

Hi Dan,

This graph template does basically what you want...

Hi Mike,

The Scroll tool does work more or less as what I'd hoped for. How can I see how it works? i might want to modify it, but I have no significant experience creating buttons that do something in Origin. Where do I go to see the code executed by the buttons?

Thanks,

Dan

Hi Dan Feldman,

You can see the code by the following steps:

Activate the plotted graph, select Edit> Button Edit Mode.
Right-click on the button (now it is only a text label) and select Label Control.
Now you can see what happens behind the button...
