3.3.1 How Plot
Plot Methods
GraphLayer::AddPlot method support plot data from worksheet and matrix.
Template and Plot IDs
Before plotting with this method, please make sure to create a graph with the correct template. For example, if you want to make a 3D scatter plot, please create a graph window with template of "3D" first. The following table lists the plot IDs and the corresponding graph template name for each plot type.

A Way to Get Template Name
Need to specify graph template in AddPlot method when plot in Origin C. To know the graph template name, please reference the following steps.
To get the template name for Surface plot.
- Plot this 3D graph in Origin panel, then right click on the title of this 3D graph window, choose Save Template As...
- In dialog there is a editbox named Template Name, this is the template name for the type graph.
For example, the template of Color Map Surface is "CMAP".
