How many arguments does a function require, and how to use that in `Manipulate`


The goal is to vary the order parameters in wavelet transforms in the Manipulate environment. The various transformations have arguments of different rank. For example,


HaarWavelet[] has no order argument.


DaubechiesWavelet[m] has a single order argument $m$ and the desire is to present choices for $m$.


BiorthogonalSplineWavelet[m,n] has an order parameter $m$ and a dual order parameter $n$ and the desire is to let the user control $m$ and $n$.


The current state of my effort is this:


data = DiskMatrix[10]; Manipulate[ dwt = DiscreteWaveletTransform[dat32, wavelet]; gdwd = WaveletMatrixPlot[dwt] , {wavelet, {HaarWavelet[], DaubechiesWavelet[], MeyerWavelet[]}}]


enter image description here



The different transforms can be selected, but there is no capability to change the order parameters. How can order parameters be introduced?



Answer



I'm pretty sure there ought to be something cleaner. While we wait for a better answer, you may use this to return the minimum and maximum number of arguments allowed for each wavelet:


nArgs[fun_] := 
StringCases[ToString@DownValues@fun,
Shortest["ArgumentCountQ"~~__~~(n1:NumberString)~~__~~ (n2:NumberString)] :>
ToExpression[{n1, n2}]]


{#, nArgs@#} & /@ ToExpression /@ Names["*Wavelet"]


(*
{{BattleLemarieWavelet, {{2, 2}}},
{BiorthogonalSplineWavelet, {{2, 2}}},
{CDFWavelet, {{1, 1}}},
{CoifletWavelet, {{1, 1}}},
{DaubechiesWavelet, {{1, 1}}},
{DGaussianWavelet, {{1, 1}}},
{GaborWavelet, {{1, 1}}},
{HaarWavelet, {{0, 0}}},

{MexicanHatWavelet, {{1, 1}}},
{MeyerWavelet, {{2, 2}}},
{MorletWavelet, {{0, 0}}},
{PaulWavelet, {{1, 1}}},
{ReverseBiorthogonalSplineWavelet, {{2, 2}}},
{ShannonWavelet, {{1, 1}}},
{SymletWavelet, {{1, 1}}}}
*)

So:



m[fun_] := nArgs[fun][[1, 2]]
d = DiskMatrix[10];
Manipulate[
WaveletMatrixPlot@DiscreteWaveletTransform[d, wv[Sequence @@ x[[;; m@wv]]]],
{{x, {1, 1}}, ControlType -> None},
{wv, {HaarWavelet, DaubechiesWavelet, MeyerWavelet}},
Dynamic@Panel@Grid[{Slider[Dynamic@x[[#]], {0, 10, 1}], x[[#]]} & /@ Range@m@wv]]

front end - keyboard shortcut to invoke Insert new matrix

I frequently need to type in some matrices, and the menu command Insert > Table/Matrix > New... allows matrices with lines drawn between columns and rows, which is very helpful. I would like to make a keyboard shortcut for it, but cannot find the relevant frontend token command (4209405) for it. Since the FullForm[] and InputForm[] of matrices with lines drawn between rows and columns is the same as those without lines, it's hard to do this via 3rd party system-wide text expanders (e.g. autohotkey or atext on mac). How does one assign a keyboard shortcut for the menu item Insert > Table/Matrix > New... , preferably using only mathematica? Thanks! Answer In the MenuSetup.tr (for linux located in the $InstallationDirectory/SystemFiles/FrontEnd/TextResources/X/ directory), I changed the line MenuItem["&New...", "CreateGridBoxDialog"] to read MenuItem["&New...", "CreateGridBoxDialog", MenuKey["m", Modifiers-...

mathematical optimization - Minimizing using indices, error: Part::pkspec1: The expression cannot be used as a part specification

I want to use Minimize where the variables to minimize are indices pointing into an array. Here a MWE that hopefully shows what my problem is. vars = u@# & /@ Range[3]; cons = Flatten@ { Table[(u[j] != #) & /@ vars[[j + 1 ;; -1]], {j, 1, 3 - 1}], 1 vec1 = {1, 2, 3}; vec2 = {1, 2, 3}; Minimize[{Total@((vec1[[#]] - vec2[[u[#]]])^2 & /@ Range[1, 3]), cons}, vars, Integers] The error I get: Part::pkspec1: The expression u[1] cannot be used as a part specification. >> Answer Ok, it seems that one can get around Mathematica trying to evaluate vec2[[u[1]]] too early by using the function Indexed[vec2,u[1]] . The working MWE would then look like the following: vars = u@# & /@ Range[3]; cons = Flatten@{ Table[(u[j] != #) & /@ vars[[j + 1 ;; -1]], {j, 1, 3 - 1}], 1 vec1 = {1, 2, 3}; vec2 = {1, 2, 3}; NMinimize[ {Total@((vec1[[#]] - Indexed[vec2, u[#]])^2 & /@ R...
