29.7.3 4 Panel Graph

4Panel-Graph

Data Requirements

Select at least one Y column of values (or a range from at least one column). Ideally, select four or more columns of values (or a range of four or more Y columns). If there is an associated X column, X column supplies X values; otherwise, sampling interval of the Y column or row number is used.

Please note, the number of X columns should not be more than four for this 4 panels graph:

• if there are only one X column, this X column will be used for all panels and all Y columns will be arranged into these four layers against the same X data; The plot arrangement rule is to plot all Y columns one by one into the layer in order and cyclically.
• if there are more than two X columns, the X columns will be used as the separator to divide the Y columns into groups, and these groups of Y columns will be plotted into into the layers in order, against the adjacent X data;
• if there are more than four X columns, you are not allowed to plot such four panels graph.

Notes

• Each column of Y values plots into a separate layer. The layers are arranged in two columns by two rows.
• Beginning with Origin 2018b, you can use the Plot Details Common Display controls for simultaneous editing of layer, plot and axis properties in a multi-layer graph. For more information, see The (Plot Details) Layers tab controls.
