I am actually novice in using origin and mine is origin 8.5
I am plotting some curves in which the data are so closely spaced so when i use line+symbol plot then actually each symbol is printed for y value.
But what I need is continuous line but symbol printed at specific interval of independent variable. I was searching like a hell about symbol spacing or symbol interval but could not find any.

Hi,

Follow these steps:
1> Create line+symbol plot of your data
2> Double-click on plot to open Plot Details dialog
3> Switch to the Drop Lines tab, and check the Skip Points check box and enter desired/suitable number for skipping
4> Switch to Line tab and uncheck the Gap to Symbol check box

If you do not do 4>, the line will not draw as a continuous line.

Hi,

Is there a way to detach the symbols from data points and have them at a specific distance from eatchother? Im trying to plot in a logarithmic scale and it looks wonky and skiping makes the distance too far apart.

Thanks
