Proper titles for wave columns

Mon, 09/08/2014 - 12:38 pm

Hi,

My code does the job I want it to do, but it would help with the visualization of the data that it produces if I could modifiy the title of the wave columns. My complete code creates several waves in the root folder and then files these with data. The number of columns in each of these root waves is determined by the number of data folders (present in the root folder) which I want the code to work on.

I have a vastly simplified version of my code below. How would I modify the NiceColumnNames function so that instead of getting three columns all named 'PeakAmplitudes', I get three columns named: 'CG1', 'CG2' and 'CG3'?

Thanks,

Function MakeDFs()

    NewDataFolder/O root:CG1

    NewDataFolder/O root:CG2

    NewDataFolder/O root:CG3

    NewDataFolder/O root:Junk

End

Function NiceColumnNames (vTPWaveNrB4exp)

    Variable vTPWaveNrB4exp

    Variable vTotalNrOfDFs  = CountObjectsDFR(root:, 4) 

    Variable vIndex

    Variable vCounter

    Variable vNrOfDFs

    for (vIndex = 0; vIndex < vTotalNrOfDFs; vIndex += 1)

        String sDFinRoot = GetIndexedObjNameDFR(root:, 4, vIndex)

        Variable vMatch = StringMatch(sDFinRoot,"CG*")

        if (vMatch == 1)

            vNrOfDFs = vNrOfDFs + 1 

        endif

        Make/O/N=(vTPWaveNrB4exp*2+5, vNrOfDFs) PeakAmplitudes = NaN

    endfor

End

I think you want to use dimension labels. Here is an example:

Make/N=(5,3) test

Edit test

AppendToTable test.ld           // Append dimension labels to table

SetDimLabel 1, 0, First, test

SetDimLabel 1, 1, Second, test

SetDimLabel 1, 2, Third, test

Unfortunately, there is no way to show the horizontal dimension labels while hiding the horizontal dimension labels.

Another approach is to use table column titles. For example:

Make/O/N=(5,3) test

Edit test

ModifyTable title[1] = "First"

ModifyTable title[2] = "Second"

ModifyTable title[3] = "Third"
