Published in Origin Graphing 2 mins read

To change layers in Origin, you'll use the Layer Management dialog. Here's a step-by-step guide:

  1. Activate the Graph: Make sure the graph you want to modify is the active window.

  2. Open Layer Management: Go to the Graph menu and select Layer Management. This opens the Layer Management dialog box.

  3. Select Layers and Customize:

    • Go to the Size/Position tab within the Layer Management dialog.
    • In the Layer Selection panel, select the layers you want to change. For example, select Layer4 and Layer9.
    • Choose a customization option. The example provided indicates using the Swap option.
    • If you choose Swap, specify the First Layer (e.g., 4) and Second Layer (e.g., 9). This will exchange the position and size/position attributes of these layers.
    • Click Apply to preview the changes. This allows you to see how the layers will be rearranged before committing the change.
  4. Apply Settings: If the preview looks correct, click OK to apply the changes and close the Layer Management dialog.

In summary, the Layer Management dialog provides the tools to adjust the position, size, and arrangement of layers within your Origin graph.
