Origin Ver. and Service Release (Select Help-->About Origin): 7.5 SR0
Operating System: WinXP
Hello,
I am wondering if it is possible to have a line break in the data point/tick labels?
The concrete situation:
I have three columns (X-Data, Y-Data, Labels) that I want to plot. Some Labels are very long, so it would look nicer to have them in two or three lines.
I tried to add escape commands, but while special letters like greek [\g(XYZ)] works, the newline command [\n] does not. I also tried to use the ASCII symbol [\(010)] - not succesful.
I read something with an "-sa" command to use "\n" in LabTalk. But I am not sure how to apply it in my simple case...
Thanks for help!

Version 8 allows you to have multi-line text which displays labels as multi-line.
In 7.5 the -s -sa options only work for TYPE statements which won't get the data into a cell. The only trick I know in 7.5 is the following:
col(3)[1]$="Apples
Peaches
Pumpkin Pie";
col(3)[2]$="Line one
Line two";
So if column 3 is your Label column, they will plot as multiple lines. |

Thanks greg for the hint and the information, that I'll better upgrade...
But the code you suggested did not work for me, "command error"
It worked as long as I stayed in one line, like
col(3)[1]$="Apples"
But as soon as I used a second line (by typing "Control"+"Return") the errormessage showed up.
Do you know why? |
