Plot Type IDs

Plot Type ID n is used to specify the plot type option in LabTalk commands such as worksheet -p n template, layer -in dataset, layer.plotxy(Xdataset, Ydataset[, n]), etc.

The n value here is the plot type ID. The possible plot types and their IDs are listed in the table below. And the corresponding template name is also provided. These templates are all included with the Origin software. You are not restricted to using the Provided Template. And it allows specifying XY subrange by using X values.

Plot type ID can also be used in X-Function plotxy.

or X-Function plotxyz for 3D plot and plotm for plots from matrix

For example, worksheet -p 194 scatter is to create a bubble + color mapped scatter plot. Using LabTalk to call plotxy, as in plotxy plot:=202, yields the Line+Symbol plot template.

Notes: For 3D plots, the templates based on both non-openGL and openGL are provided, if the template name starts with "gl", then it is openGL based, otherwise it is non-openGL based.
