Introduction to Programming

Origin is designed to be a fully programmable software application. As you gain familiarity with Origin, you may want to customize Origin to meet your specific needs. Common customization needs include:

• Adding functionality to Origin by creating new import, analysis, graphing, and export routines.
• Automating routine data processing tasks.
• Performing numerical computation and simulations in Origin.

Origin provides two types of programming environments, the LabTalk scripting language, and the more advanced Origin C programming language.
