Origin Ver. and Service Release (Select Help-->About Origin):
Operating System: 8.0
I run into a problem in plotting lines.
I have dataset about 1600 points, then plot them into a line, choose the line type as dashed (or dotted). The legend looks OK, but the real plot is different. If I use size 0.5, the plot is dotted. if i change it to 1, or 2, or even bigger, the plot now looks like solid line.
Now I put the whole figure into a layout, (1/4 of the page). The line looks like solid (for big size) or dotted (for size 2). I choose size 2 so at least it looks like dotted now.
I export the figure out into either png or jpg. everything is messed up. The plot is SOLID. But the legend is still dotted (or dash)
What should I do to solve the problem. Thanks

One sentence summary
When you plot a line using solid, or dash, or dotted type, the output figure may always become solid when the line size is big.

For on screen display to see thick dash lines, see this post,
http://www.originlab.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=7687
but for export to png etc, I cannot reproduce the problem in SR4. Can you check if you have already updated to SR4?
Did you get the png or jpg by choosing
File->Export Graph
from main menu?
