Origin of graph

Origin is the graphing and analysis software of choice for thousands of chemists in academia, industry, and government.With over 100 available graph types, powerful nonlinear curve fitting and peak analysis capabilities, as well as extensive signal processing and statistics features, Origin can meet your most demanding needs.In the graph featured to the right, data were imported from an Excel file and plotted with one click using one of Origin's graphing templates.The peaks were analyzed with OriginPro's Peak Analyzer. The fitting equation and skeletal structure diagram were then added using the LaTeX App. For an overview of Origin features, visit this page. To learn more about peak fitting with Origin, visit this page. To learn about creating the equation and skeletal structure diagram for the graph above, please read this blog post. To see a variety of Origin graphs, including user-submitted graphs, visit our Graph Gallery. To download a free trial version of the Origin software, click the "Try" button in the upper-right corner of this page. Baseline-subtracted UV-Vis spectrum of the linear conjugated dye 1,1'-Diethyl-2,2'-carbocyanine chloride (pinacyanol chloride). Peaks are fitted with the Gaussian fitting function. This graph, submitted by Dr. Robert Green, University of British Columbia, shows the calculated resonant inelastic x-ray scattering spectrum from nickel oxide. See this graph in our Graph Gallery.

Built-in plot types. At one time, a graphing toolbar button was created for each new plot type but in recent versions, few toolbar buttons have been added as toolbar space has become limited. In a fresh Origin installation, each one of Origin's 240 built-in graph types uses a specific "system" template when creating a particular graph type. When you click on a Plot menu graph or graphing toolbar button (e.g. Area ), one of these system templates is used to plot the selected data. System templates are installed to the Origin Program Folder. They are completely customizable but as the Program folder is write-protected, you cannot overwrite the original system template file (see next). Instead, when you customize and save a system template, it is saved by default to your User Files Folder (UFF). If you save the customized template to the same system template name, the customized template replaces the system template as the template associated with the Plot menu command or corresponding toolbar button used to create that plot type. Additionally, the customized template is added to the user's Template Library. To view your custom graph templates, click Plot (workbook or matrix should be active) and click Category = MyTemplates. You can save a graph template anywhere (and with any name) that you like -- it does not need to be saved to your UFF. However, by saving customized templates to your UFF, they will be collected in one, easily-remembered place and they will be readily available when you upgrade your Origin software (since Origin 2018, all Origin versions have shared a common User Files Folder). For an overview of graph templates, see Graph Template Basics. For information on the Template Library, see The Graph Template Library.

Graph window active and select Edit:Paste Format(Advanced)... from the Origin menu. This opens the Apply Formats dialog box. Here you have the option of editing or selectively applying formats to one or more graph windows in the Origin Project. If you would prefer to save formats to a named Theme file that you can re-apply at a later time, choose the Save Format As a Theme... shortcut menu item, then use Preferences: Theme Organizer to apply the Theme when needed.Theme Organizer Use the Theme Organizer (Preferences: Theme Organizer) to organize and apply Themes to graphs. With this dialog box you can apply a graph Theme simultaneously to multiple graphs in the Origin project file.To combine multiple Themes in the Theme Organizer dialog box: Press the CTRL key while selecting multiple Themes, then right-click and choose Combine from the shortcut menu. The shortcut menu in the tool provides an option for editing a Theme, allowing the user to add/delete properties from an existing Theme. The Theme Organizer has separate tabs for managing graph, increment list, worksheet, dialog boxes and plotted mathematical function Themes. If you right-click on a graph Theme and save it as your System Theme, then each time you plot a new graph, this System Theme will be applied regardless of the settings that were saved with the graph template†. Use the System Increment Lists tab to manage increment lists and selectively apply them to project graphs. You can load a graph Theme in the Export Graph dialog and the Theme will be applied to the exported image file. † If you don't want a System Theme to be applied automatically to the graph, save the graph as a template (File: Save Template As) and clear the Apply System Theme to Override check box.Topics for Further Reading Plot Details:
