29.3 Plotting in Data Table

Data Table access to Origin's powerfaul graphing capabilities via Plot menu, which provides hundreds of templates and let you plot a fully customized graph in one-click. Easy-to-use GUI also supports interactive editing after the graph is created.

Unlike the Free Form worksheet, Data Table can not only plot from raw data but also from summary data (e.g., Mean, Mean + SD). During the latter, a "Summary Stats" sheet is auto-generated and graph is then plotted from this intermediate sheet.

For XY, Column, and Grouped tables, the table icon provides a quick-access to basic graph types (Scatter, Line, Line + Scatter, and Column) plotted from summary data.

Plot manu varies dynamically according to the cureent table type. This page lists the supported graph types for each table type. Use it as a reference - click any URL link to jump to the detailed documentation page for more information.
