11/25/2022OriginLabHi Teemo,
We developed this app to highlight different regions on a spectrum. It shows the x-index ranges in the table. So you will see the error message about " monotonically increasing".
If you want to color non-monotonic x-value points, please consider to use the Cluster gadget.

11/17/2022OriginLabHi Teemo 111,
This App requires that X values must be monotonically increasing. Please check if your X column is monotonically increasing.

Thanks,
OriginLab Technical Service

11/16/2022Teemo 111Hello. The data highlighter plugin is not working, it shows an error that X column values must be monotonically increasing, I don't understand why.

10/18/2021OriginLabYou can double click on the yellow area on the graph. Go to Dimensions tab, set Units to scale, then specify the Left and Right as x boundary.

10/17/2021Neena1695Is there a way to specify the x range here instead of dragging the ROI box?

01/26/2018Hideo FujiiHi Du Wangdu,
Could you elaborate your problem unless your problem unable to run this app is simply because your Origin version is less than ver.2017?
