Description

This X-Function creates a grouped column/bar plot from indexed data. You can specify the input range (possible to include Y error columns) and the grouping range with specified sequences.

Note: in Origin 2017 or ealier versions, this X-Function is not accessible from LabTalk script. To plot grouped column/bar chart from script, you will need to use

worksheet -px

Below are 2 examples:

worksheet -px ? gColumn plot_gindexed iy:=[Book1]Sheet1!(,B,C) group:=[Book1]Sheet1!col(D);

worksheet -px ? gColumn plot_gindexed iy:=1!((,2),(,3)) group:= 1!(4,5) plottype:=1;

Examples

Use the following script to import the Categorical Data.dat file under <Origin EXE Folder>\Samples\Graphing path, and then create two grouped column plots from column B: one with column C as first grouping level and D as the second grouping level, the other with column D as the first grouping level and C as the second.

doc -s;
doc -n;

newbook;
string fn$=system.path.program$ + "Samples\Graphing\Categorical Data.dat";
impASC fname:=fn$;

string bkn$ = %H;
plot_gindexed iy:=1!col(B) group:=1!(C,D);
window -a %(bkn$);
plot_gindexed iy:=1!col(B) group:=1!(D,C);
