history

Project history and usage

liborigin is a C++ library and command-line utility package for reading OriginLab OPJ project files. It lets open-source scientific tools extract data from a proprietary graphing and analysis format.

Project history

The SourceForge project was registered on 2005-09-02. Its current README describes the standalone code as drawing on the original SourceForge liborigin, SciDAVis liborigin, and the older liborigin2 codebase, and names contributors whose work spans 2005 through 2026.

The project uses CMake and builds shared and static libraries, development headers, pkg-config metadata, and the opj2dat extractor. In 2026 the official SourceForge README identified gerlachs/liborigin as the development repository.

Adoption history

liborigin serves a niche but persistent scientific-data need: reading Origin project files without requiring Origin on Windows. The supplied metadata records packages in Homebrew, Fedora, Arch Linux, and openSUSE ecosystems.

How it is used

Developers link liborigin to parse OPJ files, while the included opj2dat program extracts project data tables into ASCII .dat files. The official README documents support for OPJ projects from Origin 3.5 through Origin 2022b.

Why package nerds care

liborigin is the kind of compatibility library package maintainers value because it keeps scientific data script-accessible after it has been stored in a proprietary binary format. It also exposes conventional C/C++ packaging surfaces through CMake and pkg-config.

Timeline

  • 2005: The SourceForge project is registered on September 2.
  • 2018: The standalone 3.0 release line begins.
  • 2024: liborigin 3.0.3 is released.
  • 2026: The official project publishes 3.0.4 and names gerlachs/liborigin as its development repository.

Related projects

  • Origin and OriginPro produce the OPJ files liborigin reads; SciDAVis contributed related liborigin code, and the official README also points to Ropj and openopj.
