Origin Ver. 2016 and Service Release (Select Help-->About Origin):
Operating System: Win 7

Easy question, but I couldn't find a solution in the help. I've created data markers with Labtalk's dotool 4 command, now how is it possible to clear the markers in the end of pointproc or immediately after it?

All I could find in the help was a reference to mark -r in the Range Notation help, but neither this command is documented in Mark command neither it does anything...

Thanks in advance

Hi LC,

I have tried dotool 4 as in the following code, and mark -r worked okay to remove the Data Selector:
dotool 4;  //Data Selector
def pointproc {
  %A=xof(%C);
  py1=%C[mks1];   px1=%A[mks1];
  py2=%C[mks2];   px2=%A[mks2];
  type -b %A %C ($(px1),$(py1))-($(px2),$(py2));
  dotool 0; //You need to set the cursor back to the Arrow
  mark -r;  //Remove the Data Selector
}
Make sure that you press ENTER key to commence the PointProc macro as the explanation of
the dotool command says: "re-program the PointProc macro to automatically execute a script
after you double-click or press ENTER to set the markers" in:
http://www.originlab.com/doc/LabTalk/ref/DoToolbox-cmd#Syntax

Hope this makes sense.

Hi Hideo!

Thanks so much. It works! The reason it didn't before was because I had put the mark -r statement before going back to the arrow. It makes sense why it couldn't clear the markers...

May I just leave a reminder that this switch is not listed in the Labtalk help of the Mark command!
