Add one or more ROIs on your imported GeoTIFF image, and extract to analyze further or create graphs such as 3D surface plot. Moving or resizing the ROI will automatically update the analysis results and graphs

Journals typically require a specific width for the graph image, such as 86 mm for single column and 178 mm for double column. In addition, at the scaled size, they may require text labels to be above a particular font size, and lines to be above a certain thickness.

In this version, we offer the following key features for preparing the Origin graph with the exact width specification:

• Resize graph page by specifying desired width, while maintaining aspect ratio (auto scale height when width is changed)
• Scale all elements on the page when resizing in order to maintain proportional balance in the graph
• Conversely, set element scale to some fixed factor when you want to maintain absolute size of elements
• Fit all graph layers to the available page area using user-specified margins, while maintaining layer relationships, relative size, and object scale

Once the graph has been scaled to the desired width then it can be exported in a vector or raster format for submission to the journal.

• Export graphs and layout pages to over 15 file formats including SVG, EPS, PDF, EMF, TIFF, PNG, JPEG, and BMP
• Specify export settings such as export width, height and DPI
• Export User-defined Area of Graph Page
• Option to trim white space around the graph
• Save settings for repeat use

Pasting and Embedding

• Simply copy and paste graphs into other applications such as Microsoft Word, PowerPoint, etc.
• Paste as image, html, or as Origin Graph (OLE)
• If pasted as Origin graph, double-click to edit graph in Origin and make quick changes

Send Graphs to PowerPoint or Word

• Send single or multiple graphs from anywhere in the project
• For PowerPoint (Pre-install App):
  • Send to existing file
  • Attach to opened file
  • Specify slide number to be repeated for each graph insertion
  • Specify slide margins

• For Word (Pre-install App):
  • Send to existing file
  • Attach to opened file
  • Place graphs at bookmark locations by name
  • Place as picture or as graph object (OLE)

Copy and Paste HTML or EMF Tables

Copy formatted worksheet cells or tables from Origin's report sheets as HTML. Then paste to other applications such as Microsoft word and edit further. Worksheet cells can also be copied as EMF.

Slide Show

Perform a slide show right within Origin:

Origin provides multiple ways to create nice reports. With any of the available methods, you can format the appearance of the report as you want, adding graphs, images and analysis results as links, thus creating a custom report.

Your custom report sheets can become templates for repeated tasks -- simply import new raw data and watch your custom report automatically update. When your report is ready, export it as a PDF file or as an image file by choosing a popular image format such as EPS and JPEG.
