Grouping plots gets easier

Group nonadjacent plots and create multi-groups

Change of behavior and context menus changes in Object Manager to make it easier to group plots in a layer

1. New behavior of Set as Group Begin and Set as Group End: Right click a member in a group of plot and choose Set as Group Begin or Set as Group End will break the current group into two groups. In the past, plots before Set as Group Begin or after Set as Group End would become isolated single plots.

2. New Move as a New Group context menu: Select adjacent or non-adjacent plots in a group to move them into a new group. In the past, many steps were needed.

3. Group non-adjacent single plots: For isolated single plots, no matter same plot type or not, ctrl+ select them, right click and choose Group to make a new group with 1st plot’s plot type.

Testing feature: Data Filter For Graph - hide by default @shdf=0

Graph based Data Filter without affecting worksheet

Turn on Data Slicer to set different filter condition on each graph without affecting worksheet data

• If there is already filter in worksheet before plotting graph, a prompt will be given

  

  • Show Data Slicer (old way) - changing filter in graph will affect worksheet and vice versa.

  • Convert worksheet filter to graph based will remove filter condition in worksheet and convert it into a graph based filter. Change filter condition will only apply to current graph

• Click Filter to change filter condition; right click on a condition for more options including moving the condition orders, deleting the filter, etc.; right click in blank area below existing filters to add more filter conditions.

  

• Related LabTalk Access

  • Command to convert graph with worksheet data filter to use graph based filter and take over the filters on worksheet

    Code Block
    language cpp
    page -df; //convert to SDF //data filter still shows in source worksheet and row is hidden page -df 1;//convert to SDF and remove filter from source worksheet //no data filter in source worksheet and no row is hidden

    Similar to page -df, you can also try below command

    Code Block
    int nUID = layer.plot1.DF(); nUID=;

  • To see datasets used in the dataplot, try below command

    Code Block
    list pl;

  • To show Graph Data Slicer pane, run below script

    Code Block
    page.cp.type = 5;

  • New LabTalk Object SDF is implemented to access the graph based filter used for the plot, says Shared Data Filters object.

    Code Block
    language cpp
    //Suppose active graph plotting with graph based filter int nUID = layer.plot1.SDF; SDF ff = nUID; ff.wks$ =;//read-only, worksheet range, "[book2]sheet1" ff.enable =;//to allow temp disable ff.nf =;//read-only,number of columns to have filter ff.f1.col =;//first filter on which col ff.f1.filter$ =;//query string ff.f1.filterx$ =;//the x variable used inside the filter ff.Set(D:3:"between(18,23)");//replace col(D) filter if already existed

  • To retrieves the state of data filters in the active graph, use command

    Code Block
    language cpp
    page -dfs nn; //nn = 0: no data filters detected //nn = 1: data filter present in at least one worksheet providing the data for at least one dataplot in the graph //nn = 2: shared data filter used by at least one dataplot in the graph //nn = -1: error

    or method

    Code Block
    nn = page.GetDF(str$); //str$ is a string variable to receive the worksheet range

  • When no data filter is used by any of dataplots, either as worksheet data filter or as a ShDF (execute the above command page -dfs nn; it must return 0), run below command to add a graph based filter.

    Code Block
    page -dfn ColNameOrNumber;

  • Create Shared Data Filters (ShDF)) from Worksheet

    • Define/Modify a Shared Data Filter from active worksheet

      Code Block
      language cpp
      worksheet -shdf uidShDF [[colname:filtertype:filtercondition]] //uidShDF is the name of the LabTalk variable which will receive the UID of the created ShDF

    • Create virtual datasets using existing ShDF

      Code Block
      create name -vsshdf worksheetrange uidShDF;

    • Example

      Code Block
      fname$ = System.path.program$ + "Samples\Statistics\automobile.dat"; newbook; impASC; worksheet -shdf uidShDF [[D:3:"between(16,23)"]]; create myshdfvsy -vsshdf col(F) uidShDF; plotxy iy:=(C,myshdfvsy) plot:=202;

  • Command to dump Shared Data Filters in worksheet

    Code Block
    worksheet -shdfd;

Histogram Auto Binning improvement for arithmetic sequences

Histogram Auto Binning improvement for arithmetic sequences

When count(unique(input))<=10, we can sort the unique(input) and check if they are arithmetic sequences. In an arithmetic sequence, the difference between consecutive terms is always the same. If they are arithmetic sequences, assume the difference between consecutive terms is delta, bin size=delta, bin begin should be min-delta/2, bin end is max+delta/2.

Implemented in Origin2025.
