Origin Ver. and Service Release: B9.2
Operating System: Win 7
I would like to have a User Interface window which has a graph and a set of drop down menues where I can choose my x axis and y axis. And a push button which plots the new graph. This should also be recurssive as in, even after ploting a graph the Option should be available to choose my next plot. Is this possible using LabTalk?
Thanks in advance.

Dear Akki,
You can place a button in the graph window or in a layout window. The button can invoke a script which
contains a "getN" command with @BB option to select a dataset to make a plot. See the sample screen below:
This demonstrates a button which cincludes the following snippet:///////////////////////////////////////////
nadd=0;
Repeat 4{
isOK=0;
string crname$ = "Select Dataset";
{
getn (Dataset) crname$:@BBColumn (Select a dataset to add a plot);
isOK=1;
}
if(isOK==0) Break; //if Cancel button is pressed
plotxy iy:=crname$ plot:=202 ogl:=[Graph1]1!; //add a plot to Graph1
nadd++;
window -a Graph1;
legendupdate; //update legend
isOK=1;
doc -uw; clr; //refresh window
}
if(isOK==0) type -b $(nadd) datasets are added.;
///////////////////////////////////////////
If you use a Layout window, you can place more than one graphs, images, worksheets there.
Hope this helps.

Hi achu6393,
> why the snippet is repeated 4 times?
ha ha, just because I didn't want to test my snippet for more than 4 plots.... change it to 999, or like something Sorry!

haha.. No probelm. I tried your idea and it worked perfectly. I just have one more question. I found a Feature in Origin where your can have your own customized toolbar which can run sections of your .ogs files. Is it possible that I code and call this Feature through labtalk programming?
such coding! much wow! |

Why not? Sure, you can call the same script from a tool button in a toolbar. The difference
should be minor - one from a button in a graph may be supposed to do something from/to the graph,
though one from a tool button may be considered as a general operation to any graph window.
(You can limit the applicable target of the tool button based on the window types like graphs,
worksheets, matrices, etc.)

Good luck.

Just a follow up question with respect to the link.. It says that the Buttons can only be 16 x 16 Pixels. Can this be changed? Can i have a larger button?

Hi Akki,

Tool buttons have that size. However, "Apps" in Origin (2016 or later) have a larger icon with 32x32 pixels.
OriginLab is planning to publish a document how to create a user's own App which doesn't have to be
published on our File Exchange site. I will let you know in this thread once it is published.
Best,

P.S. You can show larger tool button icons by "View: Toolbars" menu, "Options" tab, and checking the
"Use Large Icons" checkbox, though this enlarges ALL tool buttons. |

Hi Hideo,
Thanks a lot! It would be great if you could share that Information.
And yeah, the "Use large Icons" didn't work very well.  kinda zoomed everything!
Thanks again for your help.

Hi Akki and visitors to this thread,
Here is a tutorial("Create and Update Apps for Origin") how to make an Origin package file
(.OPX) for an App:
http://www.originlab.com/doc/Tutorials/Create-Update-Apps
You need to prepare a 32x32 PNG file for your icon before making an icon. If you don't have such
one, you can search with keywords like "free 32x32 icons"; then you will find tons of samples.
Once you make an OPX file, you can drag-and-drop it to your Origin workspace to install.
Please try.

Hey Hideo,
What would be the Minimum verision of Origin required for this Feature to work? because I couldn't find such Option in my Version (OriginPro 2015 9.2.214 and Win 7 OS) eventhough I can find many applications created and published in the file Exchange Portal with an earlier verision.
Akki.

Hi Akki,
> What would be the Minimum verision of Origin required for this Feature to work
Apps (having 32x32 pixel icon) became available since Origin 2016 (internal version=9.3).
So, earlier versions need to rely on the mechanism of the custom toolbar, or of the button
on the window instead of the apps.
Regarding the minimum version of a specific LabTalk code, it is often hard to tell unless
you actually test to make sure. If you have a specific targeted minimum version in mind,
if I were you, I would develop the code on the earliest version of Origin.
Does it make sense?
