Origin Ver. 8.1 and Service Release (Select Help-->About Origin):
Operating System: Win7x64
Hello,
is there a possibility to tell Origin that it must not scale the axes when I add another graph to the a graph window? I hate it to adjust the axes again and again.
Thanks |

Hi Sven,
You can change the Rescale option to Manual by doing:
Double-click the axis, choose Scale tab, and set the rescale to Manual. If you like this as your own default, you can save the graph as a template.

Thank you Hideo,
but are you sure, that this is working with version 8.1? There is no option for setting rescale to manual??? |

Sven,
Sure, this "Rescale" option of the axis has been there even since much earlier version, including 8.1 as shown here:
If you don't see this option, I suspect your Origin installation is somehow corrupt.

Hello,
I had a problem showing all of the ticks and values underneath for the x-axis for a graph of mine. My data ranges from 10-190, but the only time Origin succeeded in showing everything, was when I changed the scale to 10-100. Otherwise, it shows the ticks, but not the values for the major ticks.
Can you help me show these values?
Thank you in advance,
Basheer |

Hi Basheer,
Not sure what was going on, but maybe you can try to set up the "# Major Ticks" instead of "Increment" in the Scale tab in X Axis dialog box. I suspect that the current Increment value is too large when you narrow the X range to be shown.

Right now, the # major ticks is greyed out and can't be adjusted. I am simply talking about scaling the x-axis to show the entire range of the data points (10-160) and to show the numbers underneath the major ticks. My axis is a log scale, and when I change the range to show 10-100, it does what I want, which is to show all the minor ticks, and values underneath the major ticks, but does not do this for a range from 10 to 160.
I tried to upload my print screen images but the files were too large. Does you suggest I use a program other than paint to decrease the file size so you can see what I am referring to?

Hi Basheer,
It seems a limitation of the current design. If the axis of log10 scale is between 10^n and 10^(n+1) (like 10-100, or with plus/minus some extra like 9-110), then it gives the tick labels based on the increment. If the scale spans further, it gives up labeling (imagine a situation such that the scale of 10-1000 and increment=20, then there would be too many ticks between 100-1000). I will talk to our developers if this limitation can be relaxed.

Hello Hideo,
I also had a concern with copying images onto my graphs. I highlighted an equation from wikipedia and copied the image and tried to paste it onto a graph, but it pasted the image highlighted.
If you could tell me how to avoid this, it would be greatly appreciated.
Best,
Basheer |

Hello once again,
I just changed my y-axis to include a large range of .002 to .02 and it had every single increment, major and minor ticks, and values beside it. I do not think it is a limitation in the program as you suggested, I think I am either describing it incorrectly to you, because the scale of .002 to .02 with increments of .001 worked just fine. Is there any way I can e-mail you my screen shots so you can make sure you are understanding what I am saying? If not, how long do you think it will take to hear from the developers?
Thanks,
Basheer |

Hello,
Is there any way for OriginLab to take Latex commands? I ultimately wish to program a script that will take in large amounts of data and run a desired output.

Hi Basheer,
The scale of .002 to .02 fits to the condition of what I wrote as 10^n to 10^(n+1). So, it is not the problematic case. I have submitted a request to our developers to address this labeling issue on a Log10 scale axis.
Regarding the Latex issue, please make a separate thread for the sake of public readers for searching posts.
