Origin is primarily a [[Graphical user interface|GUI]] software with a [[spreadsheet]] front end. Unlike popular spreadsheets like [[Microsoft Excel|Excel]], Origin's worksheet is column oriented. Each column has associated attributes like name, units and other user definable labels. Instead of cell formula, Origin uses column formula for calculations.
Line 35:
Origin can be also used as a [[Component Object Model|COM]] server for programs which may be written in [[Visual Basic .NET]], [[C Sharp (programming language)|C#]], [[LabVIEW]], etc.
Older (.OPJ), but not newer (.OPJU), Origin project files can be read by the open-source [[LabPlot]] or [[SciDAVis]] software. The files can also be read by [[QtiPlot]] but only with a paid "Pro" version. Finally the liborigin<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://sourceforge.net/projects/liborigin|title=Liborigin|date=21 January 2024 }}</ref> library can also read
There is also a free component (Orglab) maintained by Originlab that can be used to create (or read) OPJ files. A free Viewer application is also available.
