This repository contains only Ironpython scripts that one can use in Tibco Spotfire to make available some basic features.

Spotfire-Ironpython

1. This repository contains IronPython scripts for use within the Tibco Spotfire.
2. Also I have a seperate repository (called Spotfire-JS-Jquery) for some basic UI designs in Spotfire TextArea along with codes & screenshots.
3. For more information regarding other services for extending Spotfire capabilities, please refer the Spotfire Technology Network: http://stn.spotfire.com

Other Basic Things

1. Go to Specific Page

   Document.ActivePageReference = Document.Pages[2]

2. Get Current Username

   from System.Threading import Thread 
   print Thread.CurrentPrincipal.Identity.Name 

3. Loop Through Pages

   for page in Application.Document.Pages:
   print page.Title

4. Use document property directly inside a calculated column to make wild card search on an input field eg.

case when Upper([City]) ~= Upper("${wildcard}") then "Y" else "N" end

5. Want to subtract a single day using ironpython.

   Note : You can also write following code in single line, this is just for ease of understanding.

   a = Document.Properties['StartDate']
   a = a.AddDays(-1)
   Document.Properties['StartDateNew'] = a 

6. When you have blank values due to multiple blank lines in Spotfire & thus Spotfire not considering them as NULL

7. Get Max value of range filter in document property

1. Make a string input document property in textarea area & name its div as "uid"

<span id="uid">
Spotfire Id control of string input document property
</span>

2. Write following javascript in the same textarea area to update step 1 document property with date. 
Note the DOMsubtreemodified function is to make sure everytime when something changes in 'fun' section this js runs 

         $("#fun").on("DOMSubtreeModified",function(){

         var d = new Date().getTime()/1000;
         $("#uid input").val(d).blur();
         function value()
         {
            var d = new Date().getTime()/1000;
            $("#uid input").val(d).blur();
         }
         })

3. On the change/set of this date input field call following ironpython script. 
Note testdata is going to be your datatable & id is going to be your column name.

activeFilteringSelection = Document.ActiveFilteringSelectionReference.GetSelection(testdata).AsIndexSet()
column = testdata.Columns["Id"]
max = column.RowValues.GetMaxValue(activeFilteringSelection).ValidValue
#print max
Document.Properties["maxvalue"]=str(max)
