Quick Overview of Graphing in Origin 2016 Video Lecture | Origin Tutorials for Beginners - Data & Analytics

layers are a key concept in origin
graphs a graph must contain at least one
layer and often have multiple any number
of sets of data may be plotted on a
layer and each has given its own axis
scale let's go up to the left hand
corner and select show active layer to
better illustrate this as you can see
layers two and three only show right
y-axis our x-axis is hidden as i zoom in
or out the X range you can see the data
in these three layers are zoomed
together this is because layers can be
linked with x-axis set straight one to
one while leaving the y-axis independent
if you have several similar datasets
you'd like to plot this can easily be
done using batch plotting in this dialog
simply select the datasets you'd like to
plot and click OK
and you can also save your graph for
future use as a cloneable graph template
notice that the mark is cloneable
template tick box has been checked here
if you have similar data to plot you can
select plot and go to the user-defined
menu cloneable templates will display a
blue Dolly the sheep icon if a data and
template match you can create this same
graph with just one click
origins sample projects provide many
graphing tutorials which can easily be
accessed from the file menu like this 2d
encounter plots opj and you'll also find
many examples that make use of multiple
axes and multiple layers
