Origin is the key software for all of my graphs. No matter if cycle life data or measurement results from different analytic methods (e.g. XPS, FTIR/Raman spectroscopy). Origin always provides the right solution. And the export function makes it easy to integrate the graphs into any text processing program, e.g. LaTeX.

I wanted to point out the power of your interface. This case has a complicated legend with 8 series (6 of which are related). Because Origin lets me actually define the series in the legend with the \l(1) etc. nomenclature I can lay it out just like I want. I can also group series (like the test data) together and simulations together as well. Try that in Excel. This isn’t sexy stuff like 3D and contour but it really makes my job easier for the everyday work.

Origin has always been my tool for scientific plotting. After comparing various products, I found Origin is the tool which has no obvious shortcomings, and provides a large collection of great features that other products do not provide. Origin is really efficient and super powerful if users master most of the functions. More importantly, OriginLab is really willing to listen to feedback from users and keeps improving the software. I always look forward to seeing what OriginLab will offer in the next version.

Origin has been the most useful tool in the laboratory. I have used it to organize my experiments, to fit individual peaks and spectra, tabulate data, fit curves using the pre-packaged routines and some custom equations, and finally to make graphs that are much more professional looking than any of the other popular programs can achieve. The self-contained nature of project files in Origin has helped me keep my experiments well organized.

I have used Origin for about 15 years. My primary field of work is in the analysis, simulation, and algorithm development of things that fly and crash into other things on purpose. I use Origin to generate graphics for briefings and reports, and analyze flight test data. However, the main reason I have used Origin over the years is that although it is a sophisticated tool, it is simple to use. Innovation using a computer is often an iterative process, which requires constant feedback. When designing algorithms used in any flight system, an iteration is often running a full up six degree-of-freedom simulation; the feedback is evaluating the simulation’s output, which is usually quite extensive.
To accomplish this in a practical way one must quickly visualize and analyze the output, which then facilitates the setup for the next iteration. This process requires a sophisticated tool, which is easy to use and does not become an end in itself, but ultimately becomes transparent to the user.That’s why I use Origin.

I am still new to Origin, so everything is new, but what I like best is that you are building graphs for science, not sales or marketing. Recently I used the axis break for the first time and was astonished I could make it do whatever I wanted.

When working with many data points, graphing is often the quickest way to qualify data and identify trends. With the Origin statistics gadget, it's also easy to pull quantitative information, such as mean and standard deviation, straight from a data plot. This lets me make better decisions about which data to select for more detailed analysis.

This year, I had the honor and pleasure to organize the inaugural 2014 Gordon Research Seminar on Synaptic Transmission, a meeting organized by and for graduate students and post-docs. To ensure this meeting's success, I sought help from OriginLab. I chose to reach-out to OriginLab for several reasons: their analysis software is user-friendly (I've been using OriginPro now for more than 7 years); the staff is super nice and very resourceful (e.g. registering new products, answering questions related to upgrades, troubleshooting difficult types of analyses, etc); and, most importantly, they listen to their users (OriginLab welcomes user feedback so they can improve their products). Thankfully, OriginLab provided a very generous contribution to the Seminar that enabled graduate student speaker and discussion leader attendance. In addition, OriginLab offered an awesome incentive "prize" to be awarded to the most active and engaging participant at the meeting. The prize, a complete OriginPro 9.1 package, which is their most advanced analysis software to-date, was awarded to Theanne Griffith of Northwestern University! As an OriginPro 9.1 user, I can firmly state that Theanne and others will be pleasantly surprised by the improved software features which now include new graph types, analyses, time saving options, as well as a host of statistical analyses. It has been a pleasure working with OriginLab, and I look forward to a long-lasting and productive relationship!

I work with single-channel electrical recordings (nanofluidics), where we often need to look at overall trends as well as rapid signal perturbations. Using Origin, I can rapidly import pClamp files and start analyzing data right away. It's easy to get a snapshot of the data, then zoom in and analyze specific events. When the analysis is done, Origin is also my choice for creating beautiful, publication-quality graphical displays.

“I have used Origin since 1995. It was the quickest plotting and analysis program to learn to use. There were others I tried, who boasted of their capabilities, but would have required an investment of 4 weeks to achieve some level of expertise. I probably spent part of a week learning to plot in Origin.
I used Origin heavily for statistical analyses and for plotting the effects of solar radiation in space on glass covers for satellite solar cells. I especially liked the ability to embed a small plot within another.
If I were a better mathematician, I could use more of the many features of the program!
And, there is nothing I can imagine which cannot be accomplished in Origin.”

“I have been using Origin since 1991, and have found it to be the fastest and most efficient tool for creating graphics. The new version of OriginPro 8 adds additional statistical features that are extremely useful, as well as the ability to add Sparklines that allows me to see trends in data before formal graphs are made. This allows me to pick only the most important parameters to plot without getting bogged down in making many plots that I won't use in a final publication. In addition, the ability to have units and comments in the data sheets makes plotting much simpler.”
