Origin 8 SR 6
WinXP
Hi
got the same problem like ellogi already posted in the forum and already tried the solution suggested by laurie but somehow I couldn't figure out how to get it working.
I edited the Origin.ini in the "Origin 8" and in the "Origin User Files" folder. Below the [Text]-line I inserted the following:
XTitle=%%(1X, @LA) [%(1X, @LU)]
YTitle=%%(1Y, @LA) [%(1Y, @LU)]
ZTitle=%%(1Z, @LA) [%(1Z, @LU)]
My goal is to get Origin to automatically labelling my axes with long- or shortname and followed by the unit in square brackets.
But they're still labelled with curved brackets and when I have a look at the properties the argument is still %(?X) in example for the x-axis.
Could anybody tell me where I made a mistake? |

That's quite weird. It should work if you change the Origin.ini in User File Folder and restart Origin. Could you please send us the Origin8.ini in your User File Folder and an OPJ with parenthesis Unit? Then we can look into if there are any settings in worksheet or graph window.
Thanks

Origin 8.5.1
Win 7
Hi,
I do have the same problem. Even if I change the origin.ini file in the Origin User Files folder, I still get the curved brackets.
How can I solve this?
Thanks,
BR |

When Units are automatically added to Long/Short Name in labels, the default is to use [ ] in systems where Windows Regional settings is German (possibly Danish as well?). All other cases use ( ).
This can be controlled by a System Variable: @LUQ
according to the following:
-1 = auto (2 for German, 1 for else)
1 = Long Name(unit)
2 = Long Name[unit]
3 = Long Name{Unit}
4 = Long Name / Unit
5 = Long Name - Unit
If you had 8.6 or newer you could use Tools : System Variables and add
Variable Value Comment
LUQ 2 1=(), 2=[], 3={}, 4=/, 5=-
but for earlier versions, you should add this line to the ORGSYS.CNF - a text file found in your EXE folder - and saved to your User Files Folder:
@LUQ=2; // 1=(), 2=[], 3={}, 4=/, 5=-

Origin 8
Win7
Hi,
I used this variable: @LUQ=2; // 1=(), 2=[], 3={}, 4=/, 5=-
When I put 2 or 1 it works fine, but when I put 4 to get the format "Long Name / Unit " than I get also the round brakets.
Can somebody help me to solve the problem?
Thanks,
Cathy |
