Python improvements

We have introduced a new originpro package for easy access to Origin from Python. This package works on a higher level, providing easy access to workbooks, matrices and graphs with very little code. The package also provides higher level access to data frames and numpy arrays.

Several sample Origin projects have been added under \Samples\Python sub folder. These samples have Python code attached as .py files in the project.

View documentation including detailed reference for the orignipro package.

Improvements in Beta2:

• Access Python functions from Labtalk and Column Formula

• Access Python functions from Origin C
  

Excel like formula bar

• Read current cell contents. Useful for cell with long text.

• Enter column formula when column header is selected.

• Enter cell formula when a cell is selected.

• Hunt to define range. E.g. with B1 cell selected, in formular bar, enter =mean(, then drag from A1 to A10, the formula will show =mean(A1:A10, then user can enter ) and press Enter key to finish the formula.

Mini toolbar Improvements

Mini toolbars for text label, legend, color scale, bubble scale, and graphic objects are improved.

Improvements in Beta2:

Mini toolbar for tick label table (In Progress)

Mini toolbar button to flip colormap

Mini toolbar for Parallel Plot Axis

System Variable for increment steps on Mini toolbar

Color Palette Improvements

Drag and drop palette types from other popular software.

2.  Remember URL-to-File mapping across sessions. the cache file can be used by multiple Origin applications, then do not need to re-download if the file is not older than @CFDT.

3.  Add LT cmd to delete URL-to-File mapping cache, for example:

delete -web "http://www.sidc.be/silso/INFO/snmtotcsv.php";
