The Origin Workspace

Origin Workspace

This affiliate contains bones information on navigating the Origin workspace. Long-time Origin users tin skim this chapter.

For Origin 2022b, window size and position in the workspace, are automatically adjusted to accommodate dissimilar displays. This should make it easier for you to switch between your laptop and a higher-resolution monitor, without having to resize/reposition every window and dialog box. A system variable is added to control rescaling beliefs: @SRWS (0 = previous behavior; 1 = fit width, scale y; 2 = fit height, scale x; three (default) = fit width and acme).

Windows File Explorer Previews

While non function of the Origin interface, you can use Windows File Explorer (previously "Windows Explorer") to preview graphs in a project file.

• Windows Explorer's Large or Extra large icons views (right-click in File Explorer and choose View: Big Icons or Extra Big Icons or select from the Explorer View bill of fare) will show an prototype of the terminal active graph before the project file was saved.
• Open up the Preview Pane (ALT + P) and roll through all graphs in the project file.
• If y'all do NOT wish to save graph previews into the file (either in icon view or in the Explorer Preview Pane), you can prepare LabTalk organization variable @PESS=0 or =-i. For data on changing the value of a arrangement variable, meet FAQ-708 How do I permanently modify the value of a organization variable?

Origin Menus and Bill of fare Commands

Menus

• Context-sensitivity of bill of fare bar and menus: The menu bar and bill of fare commands are context-sensitive; they change as you alter window blazon (from worksheet to graph to matrix, for instance). Merely menus pertinent to the active window will display.
• Menu bitmaps, toolbar buttons and shortcut keys: Some menu commands also have bitmaps that display to the left of the command. Additionally, you may see a shortcut key combination listed to the correct of a menu command. The button bitmap and the shortcut keys indicate alternate ways to access the same functionality.
• Shortcut card commands: Many commands are available from shortcut menus. To open a shortcut menu, right-click on an Origin object (worksheet window, graph axis, text object, etc.). Merely pertinent bill of fare commands will show.
• Collapsible menus: Collapsible Menus Full MenusBy default, main and shortcut menus in Origin are "collapsed", meaning they brandish an abbreviated gear up of commands. When y'all utilize a menu item which isn't included, it is added to the menu. If you lot prefer to always see full menus, click Preferences: Options > Miscellaneous tab and articulate the Enable Collapsible Menus box.
• Almost frequently used analysis menu commands: Most-recently used card commands will announced at the bottom of the assay menus (Worksheet, Analysis, Statistics, Image, etc.). This gives you quick access to tools when performing repeat operations.
• Custom Menu Organizer: Since Origin eight.1, Origin users have been able to use the Custom Menu Organizer Menus, Organizer to add or remove menu items. To larn more, see the chapter Customizing Origin, later in this Guide.

Origin Toolbars

Toolbars, Customizing Use the Customize Toolbar dialog box (View: Toolbars) to control toolbar display and reset or reinitialize toolbars.

• Customize toolbar button advent: Apply controls on the Options tab of the Customize Toolbars dialog box to alter button and toolbar appearance.
• Dock/Float a toolbar: Toolbars can be undocked and fabricated to float on the workspace. To bladder a toolbar, hover over the left-end of the toolbar. When the pointer becomes a four-headed pointer, drag the toolbar off of the toolbar space. To render the toolbar to its sometime docked position, double-click the toolbar title bar.
• Hide/Show a toolbar: Clicking the Shut push on a toolbar removes the toolbar from view. To restore a hidden toolbar, open the Customize Toolbars dialog box and select the toolbar.
• Hide/Show a button: Clicking the tiny arrow at the end of toolbar to plow on/off some buttons on a toolbar.
• Move button location: Alt+drag a push to motion it to a new location within or among toolbars. Alt+elevate to bare workspace to create a new toolbar. Alt+drag a button to child window til Ten shows to remove a button.

Mini Toolbars

OriginLab continues to add Mini Toolbar support for common objects and tasks. These toolbars appear when the user selects an object or when the user clicks in certain key areas inside the page. Bachelor controls depend on context (selected object, window type, etc).

• Earlier using Mini Toolbars, make sure in that location is a checkmark beside View: Mini Toolbars (default).
• To display the toolbar, select an object such as a data plot, a text label, or a worksheet cell.
• In addition, there are toolbars for more-general folio- and layer-level customizations and these toolbars are displayed past hovering most the margins of the window. When you see your mouse cursor change to something like this , this is your cue that clicking in this spot will brandish a Mini Toolbar of relevant tools.

• Most Mini Toolbars accept a Properties button that gives access to more complex settings (e.k. a graph window's Plot Details dialog box).
• If you lot motion abroad or you exercise non act speedily enough, a Mini Toolbar will fade away. To restore a Mini Toolbar later on information technology has faded, press the SHIFT fundamental.
• To add together or remove buttons from a Mini Toolbar, click on the 3 dots at the bottom eye of the toolbar. This opens the Customize Mini Toolbar dialog box where you lot can enable or disable buttons every bit needed.

Prior to Origin 2022b, the View: Mini Toolbars setting was not remembered across sessions (i.e. if turned off in the current session, they would be restored on Origin restart). At present, this setting is remembered across sessions (alternately, you can control Mini Toolbar display past setting arrangement variable @DMT (ON=0; OFF=1)).

Start Menu

Enter keywords and phrases into the Find box to return relevant Menu entries, Apps, FAQs, Videos and X-Functions. Open recently-opened Files, Menus and Apps.

Open up the Start Carte du jour by (1) pressing F1 (when no other dialogs are open up), (2) by clicking the magnifying-drinking glass icon at the bottom left corner of the Origin workspace, or (3) by clicking Aid: Actuate Start Menu (main menu).

To narrow your search, type the post-obit messages in front of the search term(s):

m = search only Menu entries
a = search but Apps
h = search but Assistance + FAQ

x = search simply X-Functions
p = search your recent projects
s = search sample projects
e = search Menus + Apps + X-Functions (merely executable)

Alternately ...

Click the "gear" icon beside the search field to open the Settings box. Hither y'all tin restrict search results and tweak other search settings.

Search for Apps and install them directly from the Start menu.

Learning Center

Learning Center is a "startup" dialog that gives quick admission to graphing and analysis examples, plus learning resources (tutorials, videos, the OriginLab blog, etc.).

1. To open up the dialog, choose Help: Learning Center or press F11.
2. Check or clear the Bear witness on Startup box to show or hibernate this dialog each time Origin starts.

• View and load sample graphs, including sample data and notes on re-creating the graph.
• Load analysis samples with data.
• Browse the Learning Resources tab for tutorials and videos and links to the Origin Weblog, User Forum and Origin social media pages.
• Move files from your previous User Files Folder to your new User Files Folder.

To come across new graphs in Origin 2022b, open up the Learning Center, click the Graph Samples tab, set the plot filter drop-down to All Plot Types and search on 2022b.

Projection Explorer

Project Explorer (PE) is a tool to assistance you organize the contents of your Origin project files (OPJ).

Projection Explorer (PE) is split into two panels. The primary panel shows the OPJ folder structure. The sub-panel shows windows independent in the folder that is highlighted in the primary panel.

Using Project Explorer to manage your projects:

• Right-click the PE title bar or click the drop-down menu to display the panels stacked (Vertical Alignment) or side-by-side (Horizontal Alignment).
• Context menus in both panels provide options to delete, hibernate, print, etc. Menu options vary depending on what is selected or where you lot accept right-clicked.
• Multiple-pick of windows in the sub-console is supported (press Shift or Ctrl while clicking with your mouse).
• The sub-panel supports differing views of windows: Details (default), List, Small Icons, Big Icons, Extra Big Icons.
• In any view, mousing over a window icon shows a popup preview of the graph, worksheet, matrix or layout window. Notes window content is shown in a tooltip.

Project Explorer Improvements, Origin 2022b: Command display of popup previews by right-clicking in the subpanel and placing a cheque mark beside Concord Ctrl Key for Preview Popup. Henceforth, popups will only appear as you printing CTRL. When subpanel'south Bear witness Folders is checked, folders now show folder Size.

• When displaying windows as Extra Large Icons, the PE sub-console displays a thumbnail of graphs, layout windows, workbooks and matrixbooks. Notes window content is shown in a tooltip.

Prior to 2018, the PE sub-panel listed sub-folders in the binder selected in the top panel. To restore this display style, set the value of organization variable @PEF = 1.

You can correct-click on PE folder (upper panel) and choose Copy -- or select the binder and do a CTRL + C and CTRL + V -- to re-create and paste the folder structure and content to (a) another folder in the current project or (b) another project running in a second Origin session. To copy a single workbook window, correct-click on the window (lower console) and copy and then paste the window to (a) another folder in the aforementioned project, or (b) to a new project running in a second Origin session.

Select Help: Open up Folder: Program Folder, click the Samples subfolder, then elevate the file Tutorial Data.opj to your Origin workspace. By default, Projection Explorer is docked to the left side of the Origin workspace in automobile-hibernate manner. Mouse over the Project Explorer tab to show the PE window. Click on the "push pin" icon on the PE title bar to pin the window in the docked position. By default the sub-console is in Details view. In this view, window metadata such every bit Proper name, Size and Comments show below these cavalcade headings. Attempt dragging cavalcade headers to reorder them. Right-click on the column headings and show or hide whatsoever of the headings by checking or unchecking the box beside each. To add a comment in the Comments field, click in one case, intermission briefly and click a second time. This puts y'all into edit fashion. Enter a comment. To modify the Name of a window, right-click in the row and cull Rename. By default, the Proper noun field displays the window Brusque Name; or if a window Long Name exists, the window Long Name (all windows must have a Short Proper noun but Long Names are optional). Click the SN or LN push button to the right-side of the editable Name field to edit the Short Proper noun or Long Name. If the Long Name does non exist, you lot tin can enter one. In the top panel of Project Explorer, scroll to the folder 3D Surface with Bespeak Label and click on information technology. The sub-panel shows that there are iii windows in the folder. Note that the worksheet window eastcali3053 is assuming indicating that it is the "active" window - the window that is being acted upon too as the window that determines what operations are available. There is also a Notes window, and a matrix window named MBook4. In the sub-panel, double-click on MBook4 and note that it is at present bold and has a magenta "halo", indicating that it is the agile window. You will also see that the whole window(in the workspace) displays with a halo which can be customized in color with the system variable @AWC-- some other indicator that this is the "active" window. Double-click on this MBook4 icon again and annotation that the icon is at present dimmed. Annotation besides that the actual window disappears from the workspace. This is because MBook4 is now subconscious. Double-click the MBook4 icon over again and the window is restored and made active. With MBook4 active, click Plot > 3D: Surface: 3D Colormap. This creates a 3D colormap surface graph (shut the attending message). Note as well that a new window -- Graph1 -- has been added to the sub-panel of Projection Explorer. Right-click in an empty portion of the sub-panel and cull View: Actress Large Icons. Notation that Graph1 now displays a graph thumbnail. Right-click again and choose View: Large Icons. Note that windows are at present represented by icons but if you hover on them, you can see the window contents every bit a pop-up.

To disable PE previews, open up the Script Window (Window: Script Window) and type one or both of the following, and so highlight the text and press Enter: @PESS= - 1; //turn off window preview in PE, show window comments as tooltip @PESH= 0; //turn off window comments tooltip When you lot set the value of a organisation variable using the Script Window, you lot are altering Origin'southward behavior for the current session only. To set the value of a system variable beyond sessions, meet this FAQ.

Apps Centre and App Gallery

Apps Gallery Apps are improver applications for Origin that perform specific graphing and/or assay tasks. A small number of Apps that are broadly applicable to science and engineering fields are pre-installed with your Origin software.

Use the App Center dialog for browsing, updating or downloading Origin Apps. This new dialog gives you direct access to all of the Apps on the OriginLab File Exchange without you having to open a browser and navigate there.

To launch the App Center, click the Add Apps push button that appears on all tabs of the Apps Gallery, docked at the right-side of your Origin workspace. If y'all do not run into the Apps Gallery, click View: Apps (or ALT + 9) and verify that there is a check marker beside Apps.

Origin's Statistics, Analysis: Fitting and Analysis: Peaks and Baseline menus include a Find Apps entry. Clicking Find Apps opens the App Center to testify only Apps that chronicle to the current bill of fare (e.g. Statistics). You can download or update Apps directly from the App Heart.

Use the Apps Gallery to organize and access your installed Apps.

New Apps and App updates are are continually fabricated available to Origin and OriginPro users. Be sure to open your App Center occasionally (press F10) and if it displays the red Download Now button, click to get the latest list of bachelor Apps.

For more information on Apps, please visit www.originlab.com/apps.

Object Manager

Object Manager The Object Manager is a dockable console that opens to the right side of the workspace, past default. Utilise the Object Director for quick manipulation of the active graph or workbook window.

Graph Windows

• Select an element (layer, plot grouping, data plot or special point) in the Object Managing director to select the corresponding chemical element in the graph window and vice versa. Selection also (a) dims all other plots in the graph layer and (b) selects the source data in the worksheet.

• Object Manager can prove a "Graph Objects" view and a "Plots" view of graph windows. To toggle betwixt the ii views right-click in an empty portion of the Object Manager and cull Show Plots/Bear witness Graph Objects; or printing Ctrl + Shift + Southward.

• Hide or show plots or graph objects by clearing or checking the respective box in the Object Managing director.

• At the graph level, change Object Managing director list order (Cartoon Order or its reverse -- Order of Appearance ).
• At the layer level, change layer society.
• At the plot level, show labels, show or hide plots, reorder plots or create plot groups.
• Within a plot group (labeled as gDue north), ungroup plots, re-order plots by dragging or by shortcut carte command, change plot type.
• Remove a plot (permanently) from the graph window.
• Access the Plot Details, Layer Contents and Plot Setup dialog boxes.
• Correct-click on the layer icon and Contrary Plot Lodge.

Workbook or Matrix Windows

The Object Manager as well supports certain actions for workbooks and matrices:

• List all sheets in the active workbook or matrix.
• Quickly select multiple sheets by pressing CTRL + Up/Downward pointer.
• Click a sheet in Object Manager to activate the corresponding sheet in the workbook or matrix.
• Correct-click in Object Director for access to common worksheet operations, including Delete, Insert, Add, Move, Copy, and Duplicate.
• Right-click on a matrix or virtual matrix in Object Manager to Rename.

Layout Windows

When a Layout Page is agile, the Object Managing director lists and allows organization of objects via shortcut menu commands.

• All objects, including added graphs, tables and text objects, list in the Object Manager.
• Hibernate or show objects by clearing or checking the adjacent box.
• Select multiple objects in Object Manager, so right-click and align or distribute them using shortcut card commands.

Origin Child Windows

Kid Windows

Active windows -- the window that will be acted upon past graphing and analysis operations -- brandish a colored frame to make the agile window more obvious. Y'all can customize the active window indicator properties (frame color, where the frame shows, frame line style) with "@ Organization Variables" @AWC (color) and @AWI (style).

• Workbooks: The Origin workbook provides a framework for importing, organizing, analyzing, transforming, and plotting your data. The tabbed workbook contains between one and 1,024 sheets. Each sheet may incorporate more millions of rows and more than 65,000 columns of data. In improver to your data, workbook windows may also store graphs, annotations, cavalcade-based functions, scripts and programmable push objects, LabTalk variables and import filters.
• Matrixbooks: Like the worksheet, a matrixsheet is a grid of cells, bundled in rows and columns. The chief difference is that in the worksheet, each column is a dataset and each dataset can be configured to contain various types of data (text, text & numeric, numeric (double), numeric (int), etc). In dissimilarity, the matrix is a single, numerical dataset of Z values, related in the XY aeroplane by row (Y) and column (X) index numbers. The matrixbook contains between 1 and 1,024 sheets. Each sail can contain multiple matrix objects (up to 65,504).
• Graphs: The graph window is the primary container for your data plots. Origin supports over 100 nautical chart types, chosen specifically for their applications in various technical fields. Each chart is created using a built-in, user-modifiable graph template that can be saved with your custom settings. In addition to data plots, the graph may besides contain annotations (text and drawing objects) or button objects that, when triggered, perform some custom graphing or analysis task. Graph windows can exist inserted into worksheet cells or "floated" on worksheets (outside the grid) in a workbook window.
• Images: The image window is a window for importing, viewing and editing raster images and videos (.avi, .mov, .mp4).
• Role Graphs: The function graph is a specialized graph window that displays a curve described by a part. The role graph differs from other Origin graphs in that it is not produced from a dataset of discreet values (though you tin can generate data after plotting).
• Layout Pages: The layout window allows you to combine and arrange graph and worksheet windows and various annotations onto a single "display panel." It is used primarily for creating presentations.
• Excel workbooks. Excel workbooks can exist opened or created in Origin. Workbooks can exist saved separately or equally office of your Origin project file.Excel
• Notes: The Notes window supports patently text, Rich Text, HTML and Markdown. Use it for simple tasks such as recording analysis procedures, making notes to students and colleagues, and cut and pasting text from other applications; or employ it for rendering highly formatted text, including HTML reports and mathematical expressions (see next).

The Notes window now supports both LaTeX and KaTeX, allowing you to render highly-formatted mathematical expressions.

Annotation: For more information on Origin's child windows, see

Help: Origin: Origin Help > Origin Nuts > Elements of the Origin Workspace > Basic Child Window Operations

To salve an Origin child window independently of the Origin project file:

• Select File: Relieve Window As... to salve active window. File extensions OGW(U), OGG(U), OGM(U) are for Origin Workbook, Graph and Matrix windows, respectively.
• Right-click whatever window title bar and cull Save as... context menu.

Note: To save an Excel window as an external Excel file, correct-click the Excel window title in Origin and choose Save Workbook as... context carte.

Origin 2018 added Unicode (UTF-8) support for Origin projects, child windows and templates. When you relieve a window file, you will have the option of saving a file with or without a "u" appended to the file type (*.opj or *.opju). If y'all intend to use the file just in the latest version of Origin, y'all should cull the Unicode-compliant (appended "u") option as it offers some performance advantages.

To open a worksheet, graph, matrix, or notes window that was saved to a file:

• Select File: Open or click the Open push on the Standard toolbar to open window files.
• Select File: Contempo Books, File: Recent Graphs to open up recently saved workbook and graph window files.

Note: Origin supports window Brusque Proper noun, Long Proper noun and Comments and the Short Proper noun must be unique in the Origin project. The window Short Proper name will be renamed if such a name has already exists in the project. If you open window file in the current project, and so save the projection, the window volition be included in the project.

To open up an Excel workbook file:

• Select File: Open Excel menu to open a external Excel file. Or, yous can click Import Excel button in the Standard toolbar or select Data: Import from File: Excel (XLS, XLSX, XLSM)... from the master menu to import the Excel file.

Note: If you lot choose Open Excel, the Excel file is opened every bit an Excel workbook, in an Excel session that runs within Origin. In this style, y'all accept simply limited access to Origin features. If yous cull Data: Connect to File: Excel or Data: Import From File: Excel, the Excel file is imported into an Origin workbook and all Origin features are bachelor.

Arranging Child Windows

Origin 2022b adds some new window arranging tools that go beyond the basic Tile and Cascade functionality. Users in industry and research who work with high resolution monitors and many windows should find the tools helpful.

Suit Windows Dialog

Cardinal to using these tools is the Accommodate Windows (winarrange) dialog (Window: Arrange Windows).

Use the dialog to sort and arrange windows in the Origin workspace.

• Split windows into how many columns?
• Sort by order of activation, Project Explorer order, or window proper noun (ascending, descending).
• Sort within window type.
• Horizontal (left to right) or vertical direction (meridian to bottom).
• Overlap each column (cascade) past user-defined Offset.
• Save settings as a Dialog Theme.

Snapping Windows

Windows that are arranged in rows and columns can be "snapped"; that is, dragged and resized forth a common edge. The visual cue for engaging the snap is a dark-green bar.

1. Toggle this feature off or on using Window: Snap Windows (Ctrl+F12).

• To resize a single window without snapping, press SHIFT while dragging window border.
• Bandy two window positions by pressing ALT while dragging the window title bar.
• To snap a window into an empty infinite, printing SHIFT while dragging.

The Control Window and Script Window

The Command Window tin can be used to issue LabTalk commands to Origin, to practise simple mathematical calculations, or to check the value of LabTalk variables. The Command Window maintains a time-stamped control history that can be carried over from session to session, and intellisense which provides auto-completion features when writing X-function commands.

The Command Window is dockable and has two panels. The left-paw console displays the control history, while the right-manus panel provides the control line.

The Script Window provides some of the same functionality as the Command Window. It lacks some of the Command Window's features (no intellisense, no command prompt, no control history) just it is handy for running uncomplicated LabTalk commands (e.g. irresolute the value of a LabTalk system variable). The window's Tools menu as well opens the LabTalk Variables and Functions dialog box where you can view a listing of Origin variables, functions, macros, loose datasets, etc.

To open the Control Window:

• Click the Control Window button on the Standard toolbar. Alternately, select Window: Command Window menu or press ALT+iii.

To open up the Script Window:

• Select Window: Script Window menu or press SHIFT+ALT+three.

The Formula Bar

The Formula Bar is similar to formula bars in OpenOffice and Excel. While it is not necessary to use the Formula Bar to enter cell expressions, information technology does offer the advantages of function search, interactive range selection and improved visibility of expressions, particularly of long expressions that exceed cell width.

1. With a workbook active, toggle the Formula Bar on or off by clicking View: Formula Bar on the main menu.
2. To alter font size, change the value of LabTalk system variable @FBFS (default is "130").

For more information, meet the Workbooks, Worksheets and Columns affiliate.

The Search Functions dialog that is opened from the Function menu in sure dialogs (e.g. Ready Column Values) can be opened by clicking Tools: Search Functions.

The Status Bar

The Status Bar Condition Bar is located at the bottom of the Origin workspace. It reports multiple parameters, including:

• Assist letters and tool descriptions.
• Statistics on the current workbook, matrix or graph selection.
• Whether the AutoUpdate analysis feature is turned on.
• The name of the System Theme, if any.
• Information pertinent to the active window.
• Athwart unit (radians, degrees, or gradians).
• Tool tips for functions listed in the Set Values F(x) card.
• Notifications from OriginLab, represented by a small red flag to the right side of the Status Bar.

  

Customize and Copy Condition Bar Data

• You tin can select what shows in the Condition Bar by right-clicking on the Bar and selecting (or clearing) items from the context menu.
• Copy displayed statistical values by selecting Re-create Statistics from the context menu. The copied data are TAB separated betwixt quantity and values, with each key value pair separated by a CRLF delimiter.

Smart Hints and the Smart Hint Log

Hints, Software Smart Hints

Smart Hints are triggered by user actions and are intended to give the user help with current task. These hints may appear briefly inside a dialog box, every bit in this example.

Alternately, Smart Hints may appear in the lower left corner of the Origin workspace, every bit in this example.

Unless you hover over a Hint, information technology will rapidly fade. You can prevent display of individual Smart Hints by checking the "Do not show this message in the future" box at the bottom of a Smart Hint.

Hints are logged for the current Origin session and can be reviewed past clicking the Smart Hint Log tab, docked at the border of the Origin workspace (Notation that in-dialog Hints are non logged).

To open (and close) the Smart Hint Log window:

1. From the Origin menu, select View: Smart Hint Log or press ALT+7.

To preclude a item Smart Hint from displaying again in the current session, right-click on the hint in the Smart Hint Log window and check Exercise not show this hint again from the context carte. A message asks yous to ostend that you do non want to show or log this message.

To plow off all Smart Hint display in the session, open up the Script Window and blazon the following:

@SHS            =            0;

To turn on Smart Hint display (including those were individually hidden), type @SHS = 1, and click Aid: Reactivate All Hints.

When you set up the value of a system variable using the Script Window, you are altering Origin'due south behavior for the current session only. To fix the value of a arrangement variable beyond sessions, see this FAQ.

Lawmaking Builder

Origin C, IDE Origin integrated development environment (IDE) is called Lawmaking Builder. Code Builder provides tools for writing, compiling, and debugging your Origin C functions. Additionally, it tin can be used for running and debugging Python code.

To open Code Builder :

1. From the Origin bill of fare, select View: Code Architect or click the Code Builder button on the Standard toolbar or press ALT+4.
2. Lawmaking Builder can also be opened past clicking Connectivity: Open untitled.py. In this mode, you can paste and run Python code by pressing CTRL + F5.

Messages Log

The Messages Log window shows messages about operations including Output Data, Results and Errors. It displays messages that are not sent to the Script Window or the Command Window.

To open (and close) the Messages Log window:

1. From the Origin menu, select View: Messages Log or press ALT+half-dozen.

Results Log

Origin automatically types many assay and plumbing fixtures results to the Results Log . Each entry in the Results Log includes a appointment/time postage, a window name, a numeric stamp which is the Julian twenty-four hour period (see Dates below), the blazon of analysis performed, and the results.

In most cases, when results are reported to the Results Log, it opens automatically. Manually open up (or shut) the Results Log by doing one of the following:

1. Click the Results Log button on the Standard toolbar. Alternately, from the Origin menu, select View: Results Log or press ALT+2.

Right-click in the Results Log to open up a shortcut card with commands to Copy, Impress, Clear..., and View Results.

Bladder, Dock and Car-Hide Windows

Windows, Dock/Bladder/Motorcar-Hide There are several Origin windows, which tin be floated, docked, auto-subconscious, or hidden. These windows include Projection Explorer, Results Log, Command Window and Letters Log. This allows you lot to customize your Origin workspace and then as to maximize utility and salvage screen space.

Numbers in Origin

Numbers in Origin

• Displayed vs. Actual Prison cell Value: When you import or type your data into a workbook or matrixbook, Origin uses a combination of user-specified settings to decide how to display the information in each cell. What displays is a visual representation of the data value. The actual data values are stored with the full precision immune by the dataset's Data Type (come across table below). When you perform calculations, it is the bodily data values that are used and not the displayed values.
• When Contents Exceed Cell Width: Prior to Origin 2020b, if the sequence of characters in a sheet cell exceeded what could be displayed at the current cell (column) width, Origin represented cell contents equally a series of pound signs (######). This has changed to mimic MS Excel'due south worksheet behavior:

• Text strings will not trigger display of pound signs ###### regardless of column width. To view the full cord, you lot must increase column width.
• Numeric values that exceed column width will first be rounded to the nearest decimal and only if that is not sufficient to display the total integer value, will pound signs ###### display in place of the numeric value.
• This rounding of numeric values affects the displayed value only. The internally-stored value does non alter.
• To restore the old behavior of displaying pound signs ###### whenever cell contents were not fully displayed, fix organization variable @WPE = one. For information on changing the value of a system variable, see this FAQ.

• Missing Values in the Worksheet: When spreadsheet programs first appeared information technology was recognized that in that location was a need for a special number that was "non a number" which would - when used in a calculation - generate itself. Origin has such a number and its internal value is -ane.23456789E-300. Considering Origin recognizes this value as a special value, it tin can be used to enter a missing value into a worksheet or matrix and it can be used in calculations or scripts (for case, to return a missing value unless some condition is met). Origin displays missing values in a worksheet or matrixsheet as "--". However, you lot shouldn't confuse this display (output) with what you enter as a missing value (input).
• Decimal, Scientific and Engineering Notation: You can display workbook or matrixbook data in Decimal:grand, Scientific:1E3, Technology:1k, and Decimal:1,000 notations. You tin manually choose from these information display options simply you lot can also pre-define thresholds for automatic brandish of scientific notation. By default, these thresholds are set to six (upper) and -3 (lower).
• Dates and Times in Origin: Origin's long-time mathematical organization for dates and time is based on Astronomical Julian Day Numbers, with a 12 hour outset. This system defines January 1, -4712 (January 1, 4713 BCE), 12 hours Greenwich Mean Time every bit zero. Recently, two alternating time systems were added: (one) a truthful Julian Appointment value (0 is at noon instead of the following midnight) and (2) a "2018" arrangement in which 0 is defined as 00:00 on January 1, 2018. The 2018 system supports greater precision when, for case, importing information with the Import Sorcerer (eastward.1000. Custom Date Format supports "MM'/'dd'/'yyyy HH':'mm':'ss'.'######"). Previously, precision was limited to 0.0001 seconds. For more than information, see Dates and Times in Origin.
