Line Series Graphs


Origin's Line Series graphs can be used to emphasize the trend in values within worksheet rows (as opposed to a column).

Line Series Graph

Line Series Graph Example


For this graph, Each individual cell within one column of data is connected (using a line + symbol plot) to the corresponding cell in the remaining column or pair of columns, thereby creating a series of line + symbol plots.

To make this happen, the data is reorganized in a separate worksheet (into one column of Y data) and plotted as a line + symbol plot. Once plotted, the data is connected using either a two point segment or a three point segment connection, depending on whether the data originated from two or three Y columns, respectively.

All the basic features of a line + symbol graph can be edited with this graph type. However, the line connection type should ideally be kept as it is since it is essentially what defines the line series graph.
