Batch Processing support Analysis Templates that having Data Connector

Origin support importing data by data connector since Origin2019b, therefore,batch processing also improve to support analysis template which source data is imported by data connector(such as CSV connector,Excel Connector,MATLAB Connector,etc).

note:currently Data Connector will be supported only when Data Source is Import From Files.

Speed improvements on Quick Peak tool

For large data, it was very slow to use Quick Peak gadget in previous versions.

• Add gadget speed is more than 150 times faster than Origin 2019b – It may take a few minutes to open the gadget in Origin 2019b while it only takes a few seconds in Origin 2020.
• Output result speed is 80 times faster – It may take a few minutes to output result sheet in a region of interest while it only takes a few seconds in Origin 2020.

Note:

• System variable @PPBLN is added, default value is 1000. If number of input data points over this value, baseline data will not be output in the result Notes.
• System variable @PPBMA is added, default value is 100. If number of find peaks over this value, no base markers and integrated areas shown on the ROI.
• If choose the "New Output for Entire Curve" item, the performance is not improved yet.

Besides, pkFind tool is also improved, 7 times faster on calculation.

Improve box plot in One-Way ANOVA

1. For the box charts of One Way ANOVA and Statistic on columns, which has only one group column, Origin 2020 does not set subgroup.
2. One Way ANOVA's box charts and Statistic on columns' box charts default templates follow Grouped Box Charts' setting in Plot Details dialog:
   1. Check Outliers checkbox and Box width=80 in Box tab.
   2. Uncheck 99% and 1%, Max, Min checkboxes in Percentile tab
   3. Border Color=Q13 and width=1.5, Fill Color: Auto in Pattern tab

In Origin 2019b, K-Means Cluster Analysis and Hierarchical Cluster Analysis, Cluster Membership column was already sorted and without link to the order of the original data.

In Origin 2020, K-Means Cluster Analysis and Hierarchical Cluster Analysis, Cluster Membership column keeps  the order of the original data and is set as Categorical and Ascending type.

Speed improvements on Means Comparison in ANOVA tool

Improved the calculating speed of Means Comparison, and it will be 30% faster than Origin 2019b.

Besides, if choose not output the Means Comparison result, previous version will still do the calculation in background and waste time. Now this is fixed in Origin 2020, and will be 83 times faster than Origin 2019b.

More Data Label Position Control for Polar 

1. For Rotate, add <Radial> and <Angular> to dropdown list.
   • <Radial> is direction from polar center to data point.
   • <Angular> is perpendicular to <Radial> and in clockwise direction.
2. For Position, add Angular Outer and Angular Inner to dropdown list.
   • Angular Outer means the point on label bounding box which is closest to the center of polar should be on the outer of data point
   • Angular Inner means the point on label bounding box which is farthest to the center of polar should be on the inner of data point
   • If angular outer or inner is selected, offset should not be horizontal and vertical. We should use Angular Offset(degree) and Radial Offset(% of font height)

Data Highlight speed improvements for large data

If user has a large scatter plot with many points and use data highlight tool to highlight a region, it was very slow in the past.

E.g. plot a scatter graph with 2million points. Turn off speed mode. Highlight a region with >28k points. It takes about 5 sec in Origin 2020 vs 100 sec. in Origin 2019b.

When multiple data are plotted together, they are grouped. In the past, when click on a plot in the group, the group will be selected. 2nd click will select a single plot. 3rd click will select a single point.

In Origin 2020, 1st single click on a plot will select the single plot, 2nd click will select a single point. If you want to select the whole group, press Shift key when clicking on plot. Set system variable @gsm=0 to roll back to the old behavior.

Improved scatter drawing speed when turning off speed mode to show all data, specially for square shaped scatter plot and colormapped scatter plot, it's almost 5-10 times faster.

Also, support a new plot type, Color Dots. It can be almost 8 times faster than normal colormapped scatter plot.

For scatter plot with solid rectangle and circle shapes, improve the drawing speed when turn on transparency. It can be 1.5 times faster than before.

Control Polygon or Polyline object thru LabTalk

• <objectName>.PointCount

Suppose user has a polygon of 4 points, then script "polygon.pointcount =;" will return 4.

Also, can set polygon.pointcount=5 to add more points, then use polygon.x5= and polygon.y5= to specify the 5th point coordinates.

• Get and Set XY coordinates to/from worksheet columns

// objname.GetXY(xDataset, yDataset); // copy from obj to dataset
// objname.SetXY(xDataset, yDataset); // copy from dataset to obj
// Ex:
polyline.getXY(book1_a, book1_b);
polyline.setXY(book2_a, book2_b);
polyline.getXY(book1_a); // copy only X values
polyline.getXY(, book1_b); // copy only Y values

• Also when adding polygon, polyline, ESC will finish it.

Faster Date and Time LabTalk functions

Origin Labtalk functions belong to Date and Time category are moved to VC level to have faster speed.

E.g.

Column A is filled with 1million rows of date data

Set Column B formula as WeekDayName(A)

In Origin 2019b and earlier build, it took about 95 sec, while in Origin 2020, it only takes about 1 sec.

Note: In Set Column Values dialog, you can click Function: Date and Time menu to see all date and time functions Origin supports.

LabTalk option to generate gadget output for all curves, all layers, etc.

We had the following to generate new output of a gadget.
Gadget gd = Rect;
gd.Output();

But since we have New Output for All Curves, New Output for All Layers, etc., we should have more options of what to output.
So now user can use
gd.Output(2) //new output for all curves

0 -- normal
1 -- last
2 -- all curves
3 -- all layers
4 -- entire curve //this is Quick Peaks gadget only

LT command to reduce file size

Labtalk command file -cp is very useful to reduce a huge data file, E.g. a 14G CSV file, you cannot open it anywhere. You can reduce it to a manageable size first. The code is like this

dlgfile g:=*.csv;
file -cp 3Mb fname$;

to reduce it to 3Mb.

{
WorksheetPage wp = Project.Pages();
int nErr = wp.DoMethod("DC.Add", "CSV");
}

2. Support "wbook.DC.type$" to get the DC type.

3. Simpler syntax for web connector in LT, for example:

newbook;
wbook.dc.add("JSON");
wks.dc.source$="https://earthquake.usgs.gov/fdsnws/event/1/query?format=geojson&starttime=2018-01-01&endtime=2018-01-23";

Convert floating-point from other formats to IEEE 754

Added following OC funtion to convert floating-point from other formats to IEEE 754.

typedef enum

	FLOATING_POINT_TYPE_IEEE_FLOAT = 0,   // 32-bit
	FLOATING_POINT_TYPE_IEEE_DOUBLE,      // 64-bit

	FLOATING_POINT_TYPE_VAX_F,            // 32-bit, ~[-2.9E-39, 1.7E+38]
	FLOATING_POINT_TYPE_VAX_D,            // 64-bit, ~[-2.9E-39, 1.7E+38]
	FLOATING_POINT_TYPE_VAX_G,            // 64-bit, ~[-5.6E-309, 0.9E+308]

	FLOATING_POINT_TYPE_IBM_SHORT,        // 32-bit
	FLOATING_POINT_TYPE_IBM_LONG,         // 64-bit
	FLOATING_POINT_TYPE_IBM_LONG_XPORT,   // 64-bit

	FLOATING_POINT_TYPE_COUNT
} FLOATING_POINT_TYPE;

bool convert_floating_by_format(LPVOID lpOutputBuff, LPVOID lpInputBuff, size_t nNumValues, FLOATING_POINT_TYPE nOutputFormatType, FLOATING_POINT_TYPE nInputFormatType);

For example:
void vax_test()
{
	unsigned int a[] = {0x268bc2d9, 0x015dc2d9};
	double f[2];
	convert_floating_by_format(f, a, 2, FLOATING_POINT_TYPE_IEEE_DOUBLE, FLOATING_POINT_TYPE_VAX_F);
