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.
