Options_for_Columns

no option

Syntax: set no option name

Open the Plot Details dialog box for name. For example:

Set %C; //Open Plot Details

-at

Syntax: set name -at value

Do not save the dataset with the project. When name is a dataset and value = 1, the dataset is not saved with the project. When value = 0, the dataset would be saved. This works even you reopen the project.

set book1 -at 1; //workbook "Book1" would not be saved with the project.

-b

Syntax: set name -b value

Set the beginning of the display range on a worksheet or on a data plot (value equals the row index number). Those undisplayed range would shown as blank. When value = 1, set beginning of display range to Auto.

• If name is a worksheet, the display range affects both the worksheet and the data plots of all datasets in the worksheet.
• If name is a dataset, only the data plot display range is affected.

range rr = [Book1]Sheet2!B; 
set rr -b 3;         //The data in col(B) in Book1 sheet2 starts to display from
                     //row 3 and first two cells will be shown as blank

-b3o

Syntax: set name -b3o value

Set the start value from which the 3D Bars are drawn. This option applies to both XYZ/Matrix 3D Bar and XYY 3D Bar. It supports 2 values, 0 and 1. zero means the bars will start at Z = 0 and draw up if positive and down if negative. 1 means the bars will draw from the minimum Z value if any negative values exist.

set %c -b3o 0; //set the start value of the current selected 3d bar plot to be drawn from 0.

-bs

Syntax: set name -bs value

Temporarily set the beginning of the range of a dataset to the index given by value. This command is used with datasets to allow functions (such as Sum()) to work on a subset of a dataset. Its temporary effect switches off with any window refresh.

set col(A) -bs 5;
col(B)=sin(col(A)); //set value of col(B) by col(A) with first 4 rows blank

-dc

Syntax: set name -dc value

Set the dataset as categorical (0 = data is not categorical, 1 = data is categorical).

See wks.col.categorical.type

-e

Syntax: set name -e value

Set the end of the worksheet display range (value equals row index number). The data outside the end range is not changed, only hidden. See also -em and -ez.

set [book1]sheet1! -e 10;

-e

Syntax: set name -e -1

Reset the data plot to display full data range. Example:

range r1 = [Graph1]Layer1!1;
set r1 -e -1;

In order to view the effect of this command, some data points should be excluded from display in the data plot. Refer to the set -b and set -e option switch.

-em

Syntax: set name -em value

Set the end of the worksheet display range. When value = 0, set all data to missing values. value equals last index number. When value = 0, all data are set to missing value. When value > 0, the data outside the end range is not changed, only hidden. See also -e and -ez.

//fill book1 sheet1 column with row numbers
set [book1]Sheet1! -em 0; // all data are hidden
set [book1]Sheet1! -em 10; // only 10 rows are show with missing value

-er

Syntax: set name -er value

Set the number of rows available on the named worksheet. This command is used with a worksheet only. Data out of the range is deleted.

set [book1]sheet2! -er 20;

-es

Syntax: set name -es value

Temporarily set the end of the range of a dataset to the index given by value.This command is used with datasets to allow functions (such as sum()) to work on a subset of a dataset. It temporarily switches off with any window refresh.

-ez

Syntax: set name -ez value

Set the end of the worksheet display range. When value = 0, set all data to zero.Value equals last index number. When value = 0, all data is set to zero. When value > 0, the data outside the end range is not changed, only hidden. See also -e and -em.

-f

Syntax: set name -f xvalue

Set the corresponding X value for the first data point. Use with set -i to create an associated X dataset.

-f1

Syntax: set name -f1 xvalue

Set the function to plot from xvalue.

-f2

Syntax: set name -f2 xvalue

Set the function to plot to xvalue. You must call -f2 to clear the Auto X Range check box. To select the Auto X Range check box, use: set funcname -f2 (0/0);

-hbb

Syntax: set name -hbb value

Set the begin value(lower limit) of the histogram bin data.

-hbe

Syntax: set name -hbe value

Set the end value(upper limit) of the histogram bin data.

-hbs

Syntax: set name -hbs value

Set the histogram bin size.

-i

Syntax: set name -i xinc

Set the X increment for the dataset. You cannot use this option if there are already X values associated with the dataset.

newbook;
wks.ncols = 1;
wks.col1.type=1; //new a worksheet with only one Y column
csetvalue formula:="i" col:=1; //Fill the column with row number
set col(A) -i 3;
set col(A) -f 2; //Set the corresponding X values
wks.colSel(1,1);
worksheet -p 200; //Graph a line plot

-it

Syntax: set name -it dataTypeValue

Set the internal data type for the name dataset or matrix to the value dataTypeValue. For example, to set the internal data type of the active dataset held in %C to double, use:

set %C -it 0;

Possible values for dataTypeValue are the same as the values of the constants defined in the oc_const.h Origin C header file (located in the \OriginC\system subfolder):

If %C is a column in a worksheet, then only a Numeric column is supported and only types FSI_DOUBLE, FSI_REAL, FSI_SHORT, and FSI_LONG are supported. If %C is a matrix, then all these constants are supported. However, FSI_TEXT and FSI_MIXED should be avoided for a matrix.

-set

Syntax: set datasetname -set value

Set Text & Numeric datasets to show numeric values as text elements (value=1) or numeric (value=0).

-set also affect the Never convert text to numeric during data entry checkbox in The (Column Properties) Properties Tab. You can type a digit string in column A after the script execute:

range rr = !A;
set rr -set 1;
//The digit string will be shown as text
//"Never convert text to numeric during data entry" will be checked

range rr = !A;
set rr -set 0;
//The digit string will be shown as numeric with scientific notation
//"Never convert text to numeric during data entry" will be unchecked

This command set the format of digit string typed/pasted into column A in current book (current sheet) as text after the command execute. In addition, the command will not change the digit string to text entry at before, only string entry in afterwards.
