I use Origin Pro 8G SR2 while most of my coworkers still use the older 7.5G version.
When I plot a Graph, Origin uses for the labels the automatic %(?x) to be interpreted. Unfortunately v.7.5G doesn't understand how to interprete these variables, so now I am looking for a way to use the LongName (or ShortName...) of the column as text for the axis labels.
Yet I found no way to change the automated labeling style of Origin, neither in the global options nor by using a special Theme as SystemTheme.
Please, can smoebody help me with this? I would be really grateful for right now, I have to change each label by hand.
Thank you very much. |

Hi:
There are two work arounds:
A).
This %(?X) notation is controlled by graph template in Origin. If you want to make ALL of your graph looks exactly like 75, you should change the system default template.
For example, for scatter plot, there should be a system default template named SCATTER.otp. You can copy the same template from 75, which can be found from Origin 75 User File Folder, or Origin 75 exe folder, to Origin 8 User File Folder. After that, you can plot an "compatible" graph.
Do remember not to replace the template in Origin 8 exe folder, or it will be difficult to recover the default settings.
B).
Another method is hard-coded the axis title. Open the origin.ini file in your User File Folder by any text editor. Go to the [text] section and add two rows in this section:
XTitle=X Axis Title
YTitle=Y Axis Title
Save the ini and reload Origin. Then all of your new-created graph will show "X Axis Title" and "Y Axis Title" instead of the column long name.
Thanks
