System Variable @FDPC to control this:

0 : old way, close
1 : most logical way, Hide if unpinned (default)
2 : stronger way, Hide always

ORG-10640Improvements on Copy Format and Paste Format context menus

In the past, people complained that we gave too many options when copying format. Sometimes it's confusing and hard to tell which format to copy. 

If user chooses the wrong format to copy, he/she has to copy format again before pasting again.


Therefore we changed the design so that when copying format, show no options for less less options, while when pasting format, give more options so user can decide later what to paste and paste multiple times. 

450pxE.g. Copy and Paste Format on Line+Symbol plots:

Image Modified    


 E.g. Copy and Paste Format on Colormap Contour plots:

 


New Paste Format To Context Menu

This is used to better deal with when right click in page/layer level to paste format to.

  • User can choose what destination to paste format to.
  • What Format to apply

E.g. if right clicking on axis and choosing Copy Format, and then right click in blank area of another graph, Paste Format To context menu will show, allowing user to what format/style to apply.

E.g. if right clicking on line+symbol plot instead and choosing Copy format, Paste Format To will show different target and format/styles.

 


Improvements on Apply Formats dialog via Edit: Paste Format... menu

In the past, after copying format, user can choose Edit: Paste Format... to edit the format on clipboard and where to apply to. 
In Origin 2015, we improved Apply Format dialog so that user can also

  • Save the format.
  • Load any existing graph theme file and apply it to selection, layer, graph, graphs in folder, specific graphs, etc..
  • Format to Apply group with checkboxes to easily control what format to exclude, include.

  • Apply To dropdown list so user can not only choose Apply Scope, but also components in graph to apply to.

    • Password protected, so if you try to open it in Code Builder, you will need to enter a password. You can use option in this dialog to remember the password in the local user's registry for 30 days.
    • OCZ files can be drag and drop into Origin for easy installation. It will not be added to system folder, but it will autoload so functions in such file will be available when Origin starts.
    ORG-10840Python: Origin 2015 Python Support

    Origin provides embedded python environment, so that you can either run python in Origin (support both command line and .py file), or use a PyOrigin module to access Origin from Python.

    The embedded Python in Origin could be either version 3.3.5 or version 2.7.8 and it can be switched by asystem variable @PYV. When @PYV = 3 (Default), the embedded Python is 3.3.5, while if @PYV = 2, it is 2.7.8. To set value for a system variable, click Tools:System Variables to open the Set System Variablesdialog.

    		OC: Origin C Workspace - User [AutoLoad] Folder

    A new folder, User [AutoLoad] is introduced to Origin C Workspace in Origin 2015.

    Files added to the User [AutoLoad] folder is similar to the User folder, except that the files in User [AutoLoad] folder will be compiled and linked automatically upon starting Origin, and then the functions defined in the files under this folder are available, and there is no need to compile and link manually.

    ORG-8053Protection of OC/LT codes attached to OPJ

    1.To prevent user seeing the codes attached to project,  use the following LabTalk code:

    doc -lr 16;

    Basically, in Code Builder, the Project folder cannot be opened if locked with the above LabTalk code .


    2.When user run the following LabTalk code to unlock, user can see files have been added to Project folder in Code Builder:

    doc -lr 0;
    ORG-11096LabTalk: Toggle Button ControlOrigin 2015 support add an text box named "labtalk Variable to toggle" in the Button Settings dialog.The variable can be pass to script file.

    LabTalk: Want combined Tile and Cascade Windows arrangement  (SR1)

    Combined tile and cascade arrangement

    1. window -s ch
      tile horizontally,then cascade each column

    2. window -s cv
      tile vertically, cascade each column

    3. window -s ct
      tile and cascade

    Tile all windows in descending sequence

    1. window -s th3 or window -s tv3
      tile first by window type(workbook->excel->graph->matrix->layout-notes),then by name descending
    2. window -s th4 or window -s tv4
      tile by window name descending

    note: the above descending mode (3,4) and ascending mode(1,2) also support for window -s ch/cv/ct.

    ORG-12150LabTalk: New labtalk functions for signal processing/FFT  (SR1)

    We added following labtalk functions for signal processing:

    1. fftc

    vector<complex> fftc(vector<complex> cx)

    It calculates the complex FFT result for given cx. We should use different algorithms depending on whether cx is real.
    If cx's size is n, then output size is also n. (shift should be off.)

    2. fftmag

    vector fftmag(vector<complex> cx, int side=1 )

    It can be used to calculate magnitude from FFT complex result. side=1 for one-sided by default, side=2 for two-sided and shift.

    3. fftamp

    vector fftamp(vector<complex> cx, int side=1 )

    It can be used to calculate amplitude from FFT complex result. side=1 for one-sided by default, side=2 for two-sided and shift.

    4. fftphase

    vector fftphase(vector<complex> cx, int side=1, int unwrap=1, int unit=1 )

    It can be used to calculate amplitude from FFT complex result.
    side=1 for one-sided by default, side=2 for two-sided and shift.
    unwrap=0 not unwrap phase angle, 1 for unwrap by default.
    unit=1 for degrees unit by default, 0 for radians unit.

    5. ifftshift

    vector<complex> ifftshift(vector<complex> cx)

    When fft result is shifted, to do ifft, we need unshift the result first.

    6. invfft

    vector<complex> invfft(vector<complex> cx)

    Compute inverse FFT from fft result. If input size is n, output size is n.

    7. fftfreq

    vector fftfreq(double time, int n, int side=1, int shift=1)

    Calculate frequencies for FFT results, the original result is time*data(0,n-1)
    time: sampling interval
    n: signal size
    side: 1 for one-sided(by default), 2 for two-sided
    shift: 0 for no-shift, and 1 for shift(by default), it is used for two-sided.
    Return frequencies, two-sided size is n, one-sided size is ceil((n+1)/2)

    8. fftshift

    vector<complex> fftshift(vector<complex> cx)

    It can be used to shift FFT results or frequency.

    9. windata

    vector windata(int type, int n)

    type=0 rectangle, 1: Welch, 2: Triangular, 3: Bartlett, 4: Hanning, 5: Hamming, 6: Blackman
    n is size for the window.
    Return a vector of size n.

    SUMMARY

    DETAILS

    ORG-10692, ORG-11418Disconnect Graph Page from active Printer

    The check box Set to printer dimension when creating graphs from this template (Plot Details Print/Dimensions tab, page level) has been removed. It has been replaced by a new page property page.UpdateToPrinter that will has 3 values:

    • 0 - Behaves as the old check box in the disabled state, namely, do not check printer when loading templates.
    • 1 (default) - Existing templates with Set to printer dimension... enabled will load with page.UpdateToPrinter = 1.  If the template has resolution less than 600 DPI, then it is updated automatically to 600 DPI. If DPI is equal to or greater than 600 DPI, nothing changes.
    • 2 -  Update template to printer resolution. User can save any template while value = 2 to get the "old behavior" of template having Set to printer dimension... enabled.

    Once the graph is created, everything will work as it did before. If you print and the resolution of the printer is not equal to template, you will see the message asking you to update to printer resolution.


    The new feature: allow default graph page size to be country dependent.

    Graph page's Width*height:

    6400 pixel(10.67 inch)*4800 pixel(8 inch) for US/CANADA/MEXICO .
    6779  pixel(11.3 inch)*4760 pixel(7.933 inch) for other locations like Japan, Germany, UK, China.

    Fit page to printer will change the page size as above value by different locations in Window system (Control Panel\Clock, Language, and Region).  


    		Origin 2015 32-bit vs 64-bit

    Origin 2015 offers both 32-bit and 64-bit versions. For the Import/ Export file types, there are some differences in two versions.

    32-Bit

    The following Import/Export file types are supported in 32-bit Origin.

    64-Bit
