OriginLab Corporation, a leading publisher of data analysis and graphing software, announced the release of OriginPro version 9. The new version provides a set of features and enhancements that were developed based on customer feedback and industry demand.
Origin and OriginPro are used by more than 150,000 customers worldwide, spanning Fortune 500 companies, research institutions, and colleges and universities across various disciplines including physics, chemistry, biology, pharmacology, engineering, and manufacturing.
The most significant feature in Origin 9 is enhanced 3D graphing using OpenGL, the industry standard for high-performance graphics. This significantly boosts performance for plotting and editing 3D graphs created from large datasets. Users can now rotate, pan, and zoom within 3D graphs to examine details much more efficiently than in previous versions. Improvements in 3D graphing also include 3D parametric function plots, the ability to plot multiple stacked surfaces in a single graph layer, and enhanced support for error bars and labels.
Another key feature in Origin 9 is the ability to reduce data in worksheets by applying filters to one or more columns. This enables users to quickly reduce large datasets and have all associated graphs and analysis results automatically update when filter conditions are modified. Additional new functionality includes video creation from graphs, an improved vertical cursor gadget that operates across multiple graphs, and the ability to place graphs as floating objects on worksheets for easy report creation. OriginPro contains all of the Origin 9 features, as well as new tools for implicit function fitting and IIR filter design.
