What it solves

Manually producing publication-ready, editable scientific plots in Origin is tedious and error-prone. EditaPlot removes the guesswork by having Codex read your table, confirm with you how every column should be used, then drive your local Origin to generate the plot. You keep full control over the scientific interpretation, while the tool guarantees the output is a true, editable Origin project (OPJU) rather than a static image.

How it works

You give EditaPlot a CSV, TXT, XLS, or XLSX file in a Codex conversation. It first explains what each column means, suggests 1–3 suitable chart types, and asks you to confirm units, errors, and graphical elements. After you approve, it calls your installed Origin (2021–2026b) through a local runtime, generates the plot, and saves alongside your data a folder containing:

• render-plan.json – the approved plan
• result.opju – an editable Origin project
• result.png, result.pdf, result.tif – exports for sharing and publication
• verification reports

EditaPlot never fabricates values, peaks, or errors that are not in your original file. It also respects your style choices (colors, line widths, transparency, canvas size) and records whether each requested parameter was accepted, kept default, or rejected.

Who it’s for

Researchers and analysts who work with Origin on Windows 10/11 x64 and use Codex or similar AI assistants. It is designed for people who want AI-assisted plotting but insist on scientific accuracy and editability. It supports Chinese column names and paths, and covers many scientific domains: XPS, XRD/GSAS, PL/TRPL, UV-Vis, FTIR, NMR, electrochemistry, medical plots (ROC, PR, calibration, SHAP), fluorescence, EEG‑style signals, scatter/bubble/radar, sankey, heatmaps, and more.

Highlights

• 45 public plotting routes, each adaptable to different column counts, names, and display modes.
• Three style modes: template default, reference-figure suggestion, or precise custom values.
• Runs entirely on your machine; no data upload is performed by the runtime (your Codex conversation is still subject to your account and policy).
• Requires only the bare minimum permissions: no admin, no mouse control, no DCOM or registry changes.
• Clean, auditable output: the plan JSON and verification report document every decision.
• Fully open-source under Apache 2.0.
