Hi.
I'd like to make a template in which the graph title is set to the graphs long name. I found that if I set the title to %h it would be named after the short name but I cannot find out how to use the long name.

P.S.: Origin 8.1

Hi Martin,
Set the label text to be:
%(page.longname$)
and of course make sure to check the "Link to variables (%,$)" check box in the Programming Control dialog for that label.
Would need to refresh page to update label if name is changed later.

Hi,
is this kind of substitution (page.longname$) documented online? Could anyone give me the link, please? I was only aware of the short version so far (@LM, ...).
And another little question: Is it possible to insert linebreaks automatically into labels, if the graph-windows longname is too long? |

Hi Snow,
thanks for your reply. But it doesn't answers my question exactly.
I made a graphtemplate with a text label at the top, which is used as graph title. This title is gotten from the graph-windows longname with %(page.longname$). Some longnames are too long to fit in one line (of the label) and it would be nice to break the lines in this label automatically. But maybe there is a much simpler way to achieve what I want to achieve 
The list of @text-label options is definetly worth bookmarking it  but it doesn't seems to make it possible to get the graph-window longname into a textlabel.
I've found the page object reference. As I know from this thread, I can use the labtalk variables in the label substitution. But as I mentioned before, I wasn't aware of this possibility.

Hi Christian,
I am not sure if long longname can be put into multi-lines automatically.
How about you manually give the multi-line text to page comments and then add comments as label. It will show the comments as specified.
page.comments$="firstline%(crlf)secondline";
label -p 50 0 -s %(page.comments$)
Thanks, Snow |

I'll give the multilined pagecomments a try. It was just nice and neat to name the graphs windowtitle and automatically the graphs titlelabel.
Thanks for your efforts, Snow! |
