Origin Ver. and Service Release (Select Help-->About Origin): 6.0 Pro
Operating System: Windows XP

Does anyone know how to write a script to change Plot details of graphs?
For every graph, I have to change the plot detail (Page: Miscellaneous; Layer: size/speed; Line: width) manually. It is boring and time-consuming. Could someone help me fixing it, please? I really appreciate your help.

Look at the PAGE object to make changes there.
Look at the LAYER object and LAYER.X and LAYER.Y sub-objects for layer changes.
Finally, check out the SET command for changing plot properties.
Type these in the script window for example:
page.=<press Enter>
layer.=<press Enter>
layer.x.=<press Enter>

All much easier in 8.x since you can create a Theme and apply that theme to every graph in your project if you like.

I have tried 8.0 Pro. Theme can set page settings only. Can not set the layer property.


I use Igor Pro before. It can print the command of every step in the command window. Can Origin 8.0 Pro work this way?

Copy Themes is selection sensitive. If you select a Layer then all you will be copying is Layer properties - not page properties or data properties.
