New Graph Maker in Origin 2026

Origin 2026 delivers a a new and improved Graph Maker tool (menu Plot: Graph Maker), making it more versatile, intuitive, and analysis-focused for statistical graphing. With expanded plot types, analysts can now explore distribution shape, assess normality, examine cumulative behavior, and visualize categorical frequencies — all within a single, unified workspace.

The major improvements include:

  • Expanded support for additional statistical graph types
    • Continuous Data Plots: Probability Plot, Q–Q Plot, CDF Plot, Run Chart
    • Categorical Data Plots: Pie Chart, Pareto Chart
  • Enhanced graph arrangement options for clearer variable and subgroup comparisons
    • Separate multiple variables into individual layers or graphs
    • Split plots into panels or graphs based on grouping factor(s)
  • Improved workflow flexibility
    • Reopen the Graph Maker dialog after a graph has been created to make further modifications
    • Provide graph-type–specific settings for more tailored customization
  • Support XY pairs for Scatter/Line/Line+Symbol plot.
  • Enhanced Column Plot to better accommodate categorical data, summarized data, and statistics on variable(s).
  • More Graph Types are supported (e.g. Pie Chart, Pareto Chart)
Benefits for Statistical Users
  • Faster exploratory analysis: Users can quickly switch between multiple statistical plot types within in a single interface.
  • Better variable/subgroup comparison: Paneling and variable separation simplify the study of factor effects, trends, and variability across groups.
  • Improved workflow efficiency: Reopening the dialog for modifications eliminates repetitive steps.
  • More comprehensive statistical visualization: Expanded plot types allow analysts to examine distribution shape, deviations from normality, cumulative behavior, and categorical frequency in one unified tool.
