| Arrange Selected Layers
|
If this checkbox is selected, only the layers selected in the Layer Selection panel will be arranged.
|
| Arrange Order
|
- Layer Index Order
- Arrange layers according to the layer index number sequence.
- Current Position Order
- Arrange layers according to the current layer position order on the graph.
|
| Number of Rows
|
This tool assumes that you want to arrange your layers in an N by M grid. You can use this box to specify M--the number of rows in the grid.
|
| Number of Columns
|
This tool assumes that you want to arrange your layers in an N by M grid. You can use this box to specify N--the number of columns in the grid.
|
| Direction
|
This tool specifies the direction for arranging graph layers in specified grid.
- Horizontal First
- Arrange layers in horizontal direction first
- Vertical First
- Arrange layers in vertical direction first
|
| Use Alternate Side to Show Ticks and Labels
|
Specifies whether to show Axis Ticks and Labels on left and right side (bottom and top) alternately in the graph layers.
|
Note: This variable is only available in Stack graph. That means either the Number of Rows or Number of Columns must be 1, but not both to be 1.
When Number of Columns=1 and Number of Rows>1, the layers are stacked in vertical, and the layers shows Y axis on left and right alternately.
When Number of Rows=1 and Number of Columns>1, the layers are stacked in horizontal, and the layers shows X axis on bottom and top alternately.
|
|
| Add Extra Layer(s) for Grid
|
This checkbox specifies whether or not to create additional layers required to fill out the N by M grid. If it is cleared, Origin arranges the existing layers, leaving blank spaces to round out the required number of layers.
|
| Keep Layer Aspect Ratio
|
This checkbox specifies whether or not to keep the aspect ratio of the selected layers when they are rearranged.
|
| Treat Linked Layers as a group
|
This checkbox specifies whether to treat linked layers as a group. When some layers are linked in a group, they would be arranged at the exact same position of the graph.
|
| Link Layers
|
This checkbox specifies whether to link the selected layer in the Layer Selection Panel to the first layer. The default setting is no.
|
| Set Layer Width by Common Scale
|
The width of each layer is determined using a common scale. For instance, when drawing stacked bar charts, establishing a common scale allows direct visual comparison of bar length across layers. By contrast, when this option is not enabled, two axes with the same physical dimensions may display very different scale ranges.
|
| Set Layer Height by Common Scale
|
The height of each layer is determined using a common scale. For instance, when drawing stacked column charts, establishing a common scale allows direct visual comparison of column height across layers. By contrast, when this option is not enabled, two axes with the same physical dimensions may display very different scale ranges.
|
| Show Axes Frame
|
This checkbox specifies whether to show axes frame and hide axes/ticks of graphs when axes/ticks are overlapping.
|
| Spacing
|
This group is used to specify the graph page margins and gaps in specified unit.
- Unit
- Specifies a unit for the gaps and margins below. Supported units: % of Page, inch, cm, mm, pixel and point.
- Horizontal Gap
- Use this textbox to specify the horizontal gaps between two adjacent layers.
- Vertical Gap
- Use this textbox to specify the vertical gap between two adjacent layers.
- Left Margin
- Use this textbox to specify the left margin of the graph page.
- Right Margin
- Use this textbox to specify the right margin of the graph page.
- Top Margin
- Use this textbox to specify the top margin of the graph page.
- Bottom Margin
- Use this textbox to specify the bottom margin of the graph page.
