Origin Ver. and Service Release (Select Help-->About Origin): 8SR2
Operating System: XP

I'd like a way to select data to be plotted by a button click or arrow keys, so as to essentially scroll through datasets of a worksheet with a lot of columns, plotting in one graph: a) all the datasets from the worksheet (in a light gray in the background), and b) the "selected" dataset on top of the others (in a bold red).

The object is to be able to screen through large numbers of individual datasets one at a time but pretty quickly, highlighting them against the entire group for comparison.

It doesn't seem like it would be too hard, but it also seems like something that might be part of the pClamp tools or the like. Can anyone point me to a good starting point?

Thanks,
Tom

Hi Tom,

Do you mean you want to plot all columns from a worksheet into a graph and make one of the curve stand out (plotted in red color while others are in light gray)?

Hi,
Yes, that's it exactly. Then the utility is to be able to quickly change the highlighted dataset for screening purposes. Using the arrow keys seems like the fastest way to do it, but clicking "advance" or "go back" buttons on the graph would be great, too.

This can be easily done by creating a graph template and two buttons to go up and down to set one of the plot to red while the rest to gray.
