Select at least one column to create symmetry plot.

To create a symmetry plot, Origin will

  • sort your data in ascending order;

  • calculate the median value of dataset;

  • draw a scatter plot with the upper distance of the median on the X axis against the lower distance to the median on the Y axis;

  • add a reference line Y=X to represent a perfectly symmetric sample;

  • create a histogram plot to show the shape of distribution, with a reference line at median value
