Origin Ver.8.0
Operating System:vista

Hi all,
I wish to give 3 different background colors to 3 different sections of my graph layer. Is there any possibility to do it in Origin 8.0?
thanks,
Manesh

Hi Manesh:

We don't support multiple background colors for a signal layer. So I think you can just make some "fake background" as a workaround.

1>. Draw rectangle objects manually.

Supposed your data is:



You can then draw Rectangle Object and set different fill color. Then push the objects back to data points.



The drawback is, you cannot control the section place exactly.

2>. Draw lines to "create" such sections.

For example, suppose you will plot your source in the range that X axis from 0.75 to 3.25, Y axis from 0.75 to 3.75. Make up some data as below:



Then plot the three lines, and Fill Color Under Curve in Plot Details dialog



Using this method, you may need to go to Plot Setup dialog to re-order the data plots to bring the original data in front.



There are still some other workarounds. You can play with Origin and figure out more.

Thanks
Larry

Hi Larry,
thanks much, I have't noticed the option to send the rectangle tool back to the data. Thanks again,
Manesh
