OriginPro 9.0.0 (Student Version), Win7 64-bit, running in VMware Fusion 5.0.2

I would like, using LabTalk (w/o having to resort to a UI dialog intervention in the middle of the script), to change the X-axis title for a given layer. BUT only if there is an axis title object for the layer (e.g. it didn't get manually deleted from the layer or the title is set to display via the "Show Axis & Ticks" setting of the Format Axis dialog).

Let me explain. I have a number of graph templates from which I can create graphs. They all have the x-axis in wavelength and some even have multiple layers. I am writing a script to convert the x-axes to wavenumber. I've got it all done except for dealing with the title(s) for the x-axes.

My script, as it converts the x-axes, needs to change the axis title. But some graph templates (or layers therein) may not have x-axis titles to begin with.

Is it possible to check for the existence or diaplay of the x-axis title for graph layers?


Is this possible?

I found a partial solution- detecting whether an existing X-axis title is visible or not. I cannot find a way to determine if there is actually a title object or not.

I though I'd share it in case someone else ever searches for it.

// Change x-axis title and respect it's visibility
int nXBShow = XB.show;

XB.text$ = "New Title";

if ($(nXBShow) == 0)
{
XB.show = 0;
}

This logic should cover it:

if(XB.X!=NANUM)
{
if(XB.SHOW == 0)
ty XB exists and is hidden;
else
ty XB exists and is visible;
}
else
ty XB does not exist;
