Is there a way to see the commands (i.e. what could be typed into the command window) Origin executes when I'm creating a graph via the appropriate windows?
If Origin runs an external script for a menu option, you can open the script in Code Builder and view it by holding down Ctrl+Shift keys while selecting the menu option. If the code is internal, you will only see a dump of the menu ID. That code can be executed with domenu ######; // where ##### is the menu ID but is not guaranteed to be the same across Origin versions.
