This latest version of OriginLab's award-winning software application adds over 75 new features, Apps and improvements, further enhancing Origin's ease-of-use, graphing, analysis and programming capabilities.

A key addition to Origin 2020b is Mini Toolbars for Worksheets and Matrixsheets.

Key new Mini Toolbar buttons for graph editing have also been added, such as Wrap Text, Fit Page to Layers, Window View toggle, Show/Hide/Add plots in Layer, and Rescale to Show All. All Mini Toolbars can be customized by adding/removing buttons, allowing the user to create a setup that works for them.                                                     

Significant improvements have been made to Data Connectors. A Data Navigator panel has been added to the worksheet to view and change subsets of data to be imported, such as when managing multi-sheet EXCEL files. Users can connect to multiple files. CSV Connectors now auto-detect date/time and data blocks. The new Database Connector dialog allows the use of a connection string, an existing ODBC datasource, a custom ODBC connection without datasource or an OLE DB connection. Improvements were made to existing MATLAB^TM, HDF, Excel, and NetCDF Data Connectors, and new connectors have been added as apps for BioLogic, MDF4, MetroPro, and Minitab.  

Origin 2020b introduces a set of Browser Graph templates that allow for quick and easy multichannel data exploration. Users can select columns to plot, such as selecting every Nth column. This new feature offers the choice of line and histogram plots with the ability to interactively turn selected plots on/off, sort plots using any metadata value, and adding data plots from the current sheet of other sheets/books. In addition, several graph customization improvements have been made, such as Wrap Text, a Curve Tool for creating editable freehand curve objects, droplines at specified points only, data highlighting in 3D graphs, and more axis break styles.
