Accessing X-Function
Calling X-Function
When programming in an X-Function or in a normal Origin C function, you may need to call another X-Function which has accomplished the desired purpose.
To call an X-Function in Origin C, class XFBase is needed (add #include <XFbase.h> for the header file).
A typical simple process will include:
XFBase xf(LPCSTR lpcszName = NULL); //Which can declare the class and load the X-Function.
//set value for a specific variable for X-Function by variable name or variable index.
//var variable below can be other data type like matrix&, int&, string&, double&, DataRange& and so on.
xf.SetArg(LPCSTR lpcszName, vector& var);
xf.SetArg(int nVarIndex, vector& var);
//sequentially set values for the variables for X-Function.
//Both the order of the variable in the X-Function variables list and the name can be used.
xf.SetArgs(...);
//Execute the X-Function ''without'' executing event handling functions.
xf.Evaluate(...);
Examples
Example to Call integ1 X-Function
#include <XFbase.h> // XFbase.h is included for accessing the class XFBase.
// The example shows how to call an X-Function and get the result via Origin C
// A typical process of using XFBase will be the following.

Calling the stats X-Function
The following function can be called from Origin C to execute the stats X-Function.
In this example the stats X-Function is called to operate on one column of the specified worksheet, shows how to set vector data type input argument, and how to get double type result after X-Function execute.
#include <XFbase.h>
bool callStatsXF(Worksheet& wks, int nCol,
double& dMean, double& dSD, int& n,
double& dMin, double& dMax,
double& dSum, int& nMissing)
{
//========== Load the stats X-Function
XFBase xfStats("stats");
if( !xfStats.IsValid() )
{
out_str("Failed to load stats X-Function.");
return false;
}
//========== Set the ix argument
// Get stats on the specified column
// Create a data range
DataRange dr;
dr.Add(wks, nCol, "Range1");
// Get the data represented by the data range into a local vector.
vector<double> vData;
if( !dr.GetData(&vData, 0) )
{

return false;
}
if( 0 == vData.GetSize() )

// Now with the local vector we can set the ix argument.
if( !xfStats.SetArg("ix", vData) )

return false;
}
//========== Set the output arguments
if( !xfStats.SetArg("mean", dMean) )

return false;
}
if( !xfStats.SetArg("sd", dSD) )

if( !xfStats.SetArg("missing", nMissing) )

out_str("Failed to set argument: missing");
return false;
}
//========== Execute the X-Function
if( !xfStats.Evaluate() )
{
out_str("Failed to evaluate the stats X-Function.");
return false;
}
return true;
}
// Test function for calling the above function.
void testCallStatsXF(int nCol = 0)
{

if( !wks )
{

return;
}
double dMean, dSD, dMin, dMax, dSum;

}
Calling X-Function with XYRange arguments
This example shows how to construct XYRange variables and use them as X-Function arguments in Origin C.
To run the following function, a workhseet with 5 columns should be active. Fill the first two columns with XY data, the next two with XY data where the number of point is different but the range of X is similar to the first, and one empty column. The example illustrates the subtract_ref functions ability to interpolate. Note the comments for alternately using Y input as output.
#include <XFbase.h>
void run_subtract_ref()
{
Worksheet wks = Project.ActiveLayer();
if( 5 != wks.GetNumCols() )
{
out_str("Please make sure there are 5 columns in worksheet");
return;
}
XYRange in;
in.Add(wks, 0, "X"); // 1st column as X
in.Add(wks, 1, "Y"); // 2nd column as Y
XYRange ref;
ref.Add(wks, 2, "X"); // 3rd column as X
ref.Add(wks, 3, "Y"); // 4th column as Y
XYRange out;
out.Add(wks, 0, "X"); // Use the same X as Input and Output
out.Add(wks, 4, "Y"); // Use the empty Y as Output
// Comment line above and uncomment line below to overwrite Y data
// out.Add(wks, 1, "Y"); // Use the input Y as output
XFBase xf("subtract_ref"); // construct X-Function object with X-Function name
if( !xf.SetArg("iy1", in) )
{
out_str("Failed to set argument: iy1");
return;
}
if( !xf.SetArg("iy2", ref) )
{
out_str("Failed to set argument: iy2");
return;
}
if( !xf.SetArg("oy", out) )
{
out_str("Failed to set argument: oy");
return;
}
double xmean, ymean;
if( !xf.SetArg("xmean", xmean) || !xf.SetArg("ymean", ymean) )
{
out_str("Failed to set argument: xmean or ymean");
return;
}
if( !xf.Evaluate() )
{
out_str("Failed to evaluate the subtract_ref X-Function.");
return;
}
printf("xmean = %f, ymean = %f\n", xmean, ymean);
}
To check the argument data types of a function, open the X-Function Builder (F10), or type "xfname -h" or "help xfname" in the Command or Script Window.
Calling X-Function with theme
#include <XFBase.h>
bool test_xf_with_theme()
{
Worksheet wks = Project.ActiveLayer();
if( !wks )
return false;
XFBase xf("averagexy");
// use theme name as input, can use STR_LAST_USED to apply last used settings to replace "abc" here.
xf.ApplyTheme("abc");
// set XFunctioin input varaible
XYRange ry;
ry.Add(wks, 0, "X");
ry.Add(wks, 1, "Y");
ry.Add("S", NULL);
if (!xf.SetArg("iy", ry))
return false;
//// set XFunction output variables
int iColx = wks.AddCol();
wks.Columns(iColx).SetType(OKDATAOBJ_DESIGNATION_X);
int iColy = wks.AddCol();
Dataset dsOutX(wks, iColx), dsOutY(wks, iColy);
if (!xf.SetArg("x", dsOutX))
return false;
if (!xf.SetArg("y", dsOutY))
return false;
return xf.Evaluate();
}
Running X-Function with Auto Update
#include <../Originlab/xfunctionex.h>
bool running_xf_with_autoupdate()
{
Worksheet wks = Project.ActiveLayer();
if( !wks )
return false;
// prepare input XY Range
XYRange ry;
ry.Add(wks, 0, "X");
ry.Add(wks, 1, "Y");
ry.Add("S", NULL);
ry.Add(wks, 0, "X");
ry.Add(wks, 2, "Y");
ry.Add("S", NULL);
ry.Add(wks, 0, "X");
ry.Add(wks, 3, "Y");
// prepre output X&Y columns
int iColx = wks.AddCol();
wks.Columns(iColx).SetType(OKDATAOBJ_DESIGNATION_X);
int iColy = wks.AddCol();
Dataset dsOutX(wks, iColx), dsOutY(wks, iColy);
// running XFunction "averagexy" with XFunction class
XFunction xf;
Tree trXF;
if ( !xf.Load(&trXF, "averagexy", 0, true, false, true) ) // load a xfunction by name
return false;
// set XFunctioin input varaible
if (!xf.SetArg("iy", ry))
return false;
// set XFunction output variables
if (!xf.SetArg("x", dsOutX))
return false;
if (!xf.SetArg("y", dsOutY))
return false;
Tree tr;
TreeNode trGetN;
xf.GetGUI(tr, trGetN);
// AU_AUTO means Auto Update is on.
xf.Run(AU_AUTO, trGetN);
return true;
