The chapter Customizing Graphs discusses customizing graphs and saving templates in more depth. We were able to quickly create two different graphs using the same data. Note that a very different plot is created using the same datasets. This time, select the Plot > Multi-Panel/Axis: 4 Panel menu item.Return to the worksheet, and again select columns B(Y), C(Y), D(Y) and E(Y).Note that the plots differ by line color and by symbol type. A graph window is created with four line and symbol plots. Click Plot > Basic 2D: Line & Symbol: Line & Symbol.Now highlight columns B(Y), C(Y), D(Y) and E(Y) by clicking and dragging across the four column headings.Choose the file Samples/Curve Fitting/Multiple Gaussians.dat and click Open.Open a new workbook and select Data: Import from File: Single ASCII.Tutorial: One click to create graph with selected data The following quick tutorial demonstrates importing an ASCII data file and creating a simple graph.

Origin's most generic graph types - line, column/bar, pie - plus a lot of the more specialized types, are created from worksheet data. See the Origin Graph Types section for specific requirements. Other graphs can be created from multiple data arrangements.
Some Origin graph types have very specific data requirements. Until you've had time to familiarize yourself with available toolbar buttons, the Plot menu should be your "go to" place for creating graphs.Ĭreating most graphs involves just two steps. Note that while most graph types also have a corresponding 2D Graphs or 3D and Contour Graphs toolbar button, some do not. Each of these graphs has been specifically chosen for its applications in various technical fields.Īll graph types are accessible from the Plot menu. With Origin, you can create over 100 graph types using Origin's built-in graph templates. Graphs can be created from both hard data and from mathematical functions.
