For Your Information ...

If no user can supply you with your function, and you are a C programmer, you may be interested in the Origin Professional Package:

Origin - Info : The Origin Professional Package, version 5.0

The Origin Professional Package is designed for users who want to handle custom file formats, add DLLs to Origin, develop an Origin-based application with a custom user interface or use Origin as a DDE server or ODBC client for graphics and data analysis.

The package consists of three parts:

•User Interface Module (UIM) •File Utilities Module (FUM) •Advanced Technical Information (ATI)

The UIM gives you tools for creating Windows objects to design a more user-friendly interface and automate tasks. The objects include:

•Check Box Create a group of check boxes •Radio Box Create a group of radio buttons •List Box Create a text list •Combo Box Create a drop-down text list •Status Box Display named values •Spin Button A programmed list of values with a spin button •List Button A specific list of values with a spin button •Text Buttons Create a group of buttons with text •Bitmap Buttons Create a group of buttons with bitmaps •Scale Object Create a scale that dynamically changes •Strip Chart Create a chart object that displays a strip •Gauge Create a dial or gauge in a number of styles •Vertical Bar Create a thermometer display •Horizontal Bar Create a thermometer display

The objects can be contained within a template or combined into a floating toolbar.

The FUM allows you to read and write files using ASCII and binary methods to give you the ability to read and write custom file formats. We also supply a DLL that allows you to build ODBC queries.

The ATI comes with documentation, a library of Origin functions and sample applications that demonstrate:

•Writing a DLL that can be called from Origin •Writing a DLL that works with Origin's non-linear curve fitter •Using Origin as a DDE server in C and Visual Basic applications
