LabTalk Improvements

LabTalk Callable OC function to Execute an Operation

Click on the recalculate lock and select Show Info from the context menu to get the "operation_uid", then run execute_operation function.

execute_operation(operation_uid);

Improve LabTalk "type -gb" command for text file output

(ORG-8306)

type -gb [[e][f][r/n]] fileName;

Option	Description
e	Output to new empty file, if not specified then text is appended. Will erase existing one.
f	Output to file only, no output to script window.
n	Output LF for end-of-line.
r	Output CR for end-of-line.
Neither n nor r specified	Output CRLF for end-of-line.

New line is \r\n by default, n = use \n as new line, r = use \r as new line.

Better error checking in LabTalk function (ORG-9155 )

In an OGS file, add the following script, and then run the main section, the error message will go to Message Log.

[Main]
Function int aa(int nn)
{
	ty "inside function";
	sdf;//error
	return 1;
}

int nErr = aa(0);
ty "after function";

Labtalk Function to Generate Patterned Data

(ORG-7900)

To generate numeric data:

col(A)=pattern(1,10,2,2,3); // from, to, inc, value repeat count, sequence repeat count

To generate string data:

stringarray sa;
sa.Add("NY");
sa.Add("MA");
col(B)=pattern(sa, 2, 3); // string sources, value repeat count, sequence repeat count
//can also allow quoted string separated by pipe, comma, or space
col(B)=pattern("NY|MA", 2, 3);
col(B)=pattern("NY,MA", 2, 3);
col(B)=pattern("NY MA", 2, 3);

To generate pattern data based on a column:

col(B)=pattern(col(c), 2, 3); //data source, value repeat count, sequence repeat count
col(B)=uniform(30, col(A)); //randomly choose 30 elements from col(A) to fill col(B)

Range Notation Improvements

Support Variables for Row Subrange Notation:

int a = 1;
int b = 12;
range rr=col(1)[a:b];

Support Range Declaration for Local Loose Dataset:

dataset ds1,ds2; 
range rngld1=[??]!ds1;
range rngld2=[??]!ds2[10:15];  
range aa=1!1, bb=2[10:15];  //Given col(a)&col(b) is filled with row numbers: 
rngld1=aa;
rngld2=bb;

preserve double quotes:

range r1 = 1!; //First sheet in the activated workbook
range r2 = "1!"; //Column with long name "1!"

New Added System Variables

Function Area	Variable	Type	Default	Supported	Description
Smart Labeling	@SLD	bool	0		globally enable smart labeling of data label
	@SLDF	double		[0.0, 1.0]	favor count factor, missing value means auto
	@SLDL	bool	0		look ahead
	@SLDM	double			measure constant variant, missing value means auto
	@SLDR	double			ray number, -1 means auto
	@SLDG	double			Smart Labeling reposition gap
Hidden Row	@GMH	bool	0		Value = 1: The behavior of Origin is the same as before Value = 0: Origin will not get missing value from hidden rows, except for analysis and plotting
	@b3d0	bool	1		whether minus values needs down drawing
	@b3d0b	bool	1		whether z=0 face shows black color
Polar Grid	@DPA		3		% of DPI as a minimum distance between closest grids
	@CWS	int	13		Change Worksheet search option bits. 1 = Compare column short name 2 = Compare column long name 4 = Compare column designation 8 = Compare column index.
	@OGLSL	bool	1		Enable shearing for axis titles and tick labels if they are in axis plane and 3D cube has been sheared. 0= Disable their shearing.
	@TFS	int	1	0,1,2,3	Text Filter label display 0=Enter, 1=Space (default), 2=Comma, 3=Semicolon
	@TFL	double	50		The max length of text filter label
	@AUFL	bool			if it is non-zero, always set Auto as auto update mode; if @AUFL equals to zero, check whether there is an operation in the column, if there is, keep therecalculate mode, otherwise, set Auto as recalculate mode.

Provide Tooltip for any object with Script, Run After set (ORG-8882)

For button in Graph or Worksheet with script behind it, when user mouses over the button, tooltip will tell user how to edit script and how to delete the object.
