Examples

VB

Dim oApp As Origin.ApplicationSI
Set oApp = GetObject("", "Origin.ApplicationSI")
Const ORIGIN_WINTYPE_WKS = 2
Dim name As String, realname As String
name = "MyWorksheet"
realname = oApp.CreatePage(ORIGIN_WINTYPE_WKS, name, "Origin")

C#

static void Main(string[] args)
{
    Origin.IOApplication pOrigin;
    pOrigin = new Origin.ApplicationSIClass();

    string strName = pOrigin.CreatePage((int)Origin.PAGETYPES.OPT_WORKSHEET, "OriginLab", "Origin", 2); //2 mean visible, create new workbook
    pOrigin.PageBases[strName].Activate(); //make it as active page
}

Python

import OriginExt as O
app = O.Application(); app.Visible = app.MAINWND_SHOW
grPageName = app.CreatePage(app.OPT_GRAPH)

import random
import win32com.client # COM module

# Connect to Origin
origin = win32com.client.Dispatch("Origin.ApplicationSI")

# Create a new workbook named "Python" using the "origin" template
pageName = origin.CreatePage(2, "Python", "origin") # 2 for WorksheetPage

# Generate X data to be the even numbers from zero to 100.
# Note:  the end of range is exclusive
xData = range(0,101,2)

# Generate Y data to be random numbers
yData = []
for i in range(0,len(xData)):
    yData.append(random.random())

# Put the X and Y data into the worksheet
origin.PutWorksheet(pageName, xData, 0, 0) # row 0, col 0
origin.PutWorksheet(pageName, yData, 0, 1) # row 0, col 1
