Minimum Origin Version Required: 9.1 SR0
1. plot_gindexed iy:=[Book1]Sheet1!(,B,C) group:=[Book1]Sheet1!col(D); //Column B as input Y, column C as Y error, column D as grouping range
2. plot_gindexed iy:=[Book1]Sheet1!((,2),(,3)) group:= [Book1]Sheet1!(4,5) plottype:=1; //Column 2 and 3 as input Y, column 4 as the first grouping range, column 5 as the second grouping range.

This X-Function creates a grouped column/bar plot from indexed data. You can specify the input range (possible to include Y error columns) and the grouping range with specified sequences.
Note: in Origin 2017 or ealier versions, this X-Function is not accessible from LabTalk script. To plot grouped column/bar chart from script, you will need to use
worksheet -px
Below are 2 examples:
worksheet -px ? gColumn plot_gindexed iy:=[Book1]Sheet1!(,B,C) group:=[Book1]Sheet1!col(D); worksheet -px ? gColumn plot_gindexed iy:=1!((,2),(,3)) group:= 1!(4,5) plottype:=1;
Use the following script to import the Categorical Data.dat file under <Origin EXE Folder>\Samples\Graphing path, and then create two grouped column plots from column B: one with column C as first grouping level and D as the second grouping level, the other with column D as the first grouping level and C as the second.
doc -s; doc -n; newbook; string fn$=system.path.program$ + "Samples\Graphing\Categorical Data.dat"; impASC fname:=fn$; string bkn$ = %H; plot_gindexed iy:=1!col(B) group:=1!(C,D); window -a %(bkn$); plot_gindexed iy:=1!col(B) group:=1!(D,C);
