Viewer offers enhanced capabilities for Origin project files

OriginLab, a publisher of data-analysis and graphing software, today announced the availability of Origin Viewer 9.2 at the Biophysical Society Annual Meeting in Baltimore. The standalone application allows viewing, copying, and sharing of graph or worksheet information from Origin project (OPJ) files and is available in 32- and 64-bit versions. Highlights of version 9.2 include extra-large icon view, mouseover graph preview, icon or detail view of windows, and the capability to show or hide columns of details view. OPJ files can be distributed and viewed without requiring Origin software to be installed.

Origin Viewer 9.2 allows Origin users to share their OPJ files with colleagues who do not have the Origin software, enabling broad collaboration. Colleagues can directly run Origin Viewer and open OPJ files, accessing the data, worksheets, graphs, and analysis results provided by the user. Multiple graphs, including Origin’s OpenGL 3D graphs with support for rotation, can be viewed simultaneously by opening them in resizable floating windows. Contents of a project file can also be copied into third-party software such as Microsoft Word or Microsoft PowerPoint for the creation of reports and presentations.

“We’re constantly working to improve the user experience for our software,” said Easwar Iyer, vice president of technology, OriginLab. “The new Origin Viewer 9.2 aids quick and easy sharing of Origin project (OPJ) files between colleagues and partners through at-a-glance views that make the most of extra-large icon view and mouseover preview of graphs.”

Origin and OriginPro software provide scientists and engineers with tools to fully analyze, interpret, and display findings from their latest research. The software is used by more than 500,000 registered customers worldwide, spanning Fortune Global 500 companies, research institutions, and colleges and universities across various disciplines including physics, chemistry, biology, pharmacology, engineering, and manufacturing.
