Import Wizard
Origin's new Import Wizard provides visual feedback to assist you in importing one or more ASCII or Binary files into a worksheet or graph window.
Advanced options include the ability to extract header variables and specify plot designations.
You can save your import settings to a filter file. Later simply drag and drop your data files to create worksheets or data plots. |

Themes
Now you can instantly change the look of a graph by applying a built-in or user-defined collection of formatting details, called a Theme. This is particularly useful when creating graphs for multiple publications since many have unique requirements. |
|
|
A Theme Gallery allows you to choose, edit, and apply saved themes quickly and easily. Set a saved theme as the system theme so that any graph you create in the future will automatically display your theme’s settings. |
Copy and Paste Format
Copy any graph format settings and paste them onto another graph. For example, copy the axis label format of one axis and paste it onto another. |

Grouped Data Plot Formatting
New controls allow you to customize how Origin increments the color, symbol, line type, and other format settings for grouped data plots. |
You can eliminate, reposition, and nest shapes, interiors, colors, and styles. All settings for grouped plots can even be copied and pasted to another graph or saved to a theme. |

Plot Setup Dialog
Plot data from any worksheet within your project. An intuitive interface allows you to quickly and easily select the data to be plotted, as well as configure plot settings.
In one step, you can even plot columns of the same name from multiple worksheets. |
|
Automatic Update of Worksheet Calculations
If you need to repeatedly perform data set calculations, you can speed up your work by enabling the new AutoUpdate option in the Set Column Values dialog. You can even specify calculations based on columns from other worksheets. |

Programmable Origin C Dialog Box
Use a single Origin C command to create custom dialog boxes for your graphing and analysis routines. This new feature is a dynamically generated, easy-to-use, and powerful graphical user interface device. |
|
Automation Server Support
Access Origin from other applications, such as Microsoft® Excel, Microsoft® Visual Basic®, and National Instruments™ LabVIEW™.
For example, you can program Excel to call Origin to perform data analysis, such as FFT, smoothing, or curve fitting and then return the results, including an Origin graph, to your workbook.
