I am trying to export ascii data from loose datasets in a graph. I am able to loop over the datasets and get the x and y data, but I also need to get the comment associated with a dataset. Within the Origin gui I can click on the graph to open the Plot Details dialog and then create a workbook for one dataset - and this has text in the Comments row of B(Y) exactly like I want. But how can I get this programmatically from LabTalk? I've been creating ranges and copying from the loose dataset into a temp workbook. If I try to get the comments this way, e.g., from dsY[C]$ on the loose dataset, it turns up empty.
thanks |

Hi,
I'm sorry for my misunderstanding... loose data does not have label rows. And I'm not sure what's in your legend.
I guess you got this graph form other one as an ogg file, right?
An easy way is open the Plot Details dialog and click Workbook button at the bottom, or select the curve on the graph, right click and "Go to XXXXX...". And then export the created worksheet.
For scripting way, I would still recommend putting the loose data into a worksheet and then export. So you can add meta data to it.

Zheng,
Thanks for the response. I was updating and clarifying my question just as you posted. The next obvious question for me to ask is: how to access the workbook meta data? I created a range for the dataset
strY$ = myDataSet;
range dsY = [??]!%(strY$);
and I tried to get the Comments from dsY[C]$. What other ways can I access the metadata?
thanks,
George

Hi,
For auto legend, the legend text comes from worksheet column label rows (by default is Comment).
So you can just read your workbook meta data.
But if you've modified the legend text manually, it might be hard...
