Hi everyone,
I have been using tables as variables for codeblocks on an org-file, e.g.
#+tblname: class-data
| user | oxide | xc |
| jkitchin | TiO2 | LDA|
...
#+BEGIN_SRC python :var data=class-data
from pylab import *
import numpy as np
vol = [x[1] if x[1] != '' else np.nan for x in data]
B = [x[2] if x[2] != '' else np.nan for x in data ]
scatter(vol, B)
xlabel('Volume ($\AA^3$)')
ylabel('Bulk modulus (GPa)')
title('All polymorphs of all oxides for all functionals')
show()
#+END_SRC
This is a fantastic feature, since I can have some code that is
expensive to run create the table, but then have analysis code that is
quick, since it only reads the table.
But, sometimes the tables are defined in other org-files. Is there a
way to specify a table from another org-file in the variable header?
Something like this would be pretty handy:
:var ./org-file.org::class-data
Especially if I could click on it, and have it open the other org-file
with point at the table!
Any thoughts? Thanks,
John

Hi John,
This feature does exist, and your guess at the syntax is almost correct.
To reference a variable named foo1 in a file named foo.org you would use
the following syntax, ":var data=foo.org:foo1".
See the attached foo.org and bar.org files for an example (in order to
work they must be in the same directory).
I'll make a note to mention this functionality in the documentation.
Best,
