wolfram cloud - CloudDeploy a Manipulate with dependent functions


I don't seem to understand CloudDeploy; it seems like it deploys a function, but not its dependent expressions. How should I deploy an expression that may have dependencies previously in the notebook?


For example, I evaluated the following expression:


f=Sin[x];CloudDeploy[Manipulate[Plot[f,{x,0,t}],{t,1,15}]]


I then visited the deployed page, and got a plot with no function.


This is a simplified version; in more complex ones, such as when PlotRange depends on something previously defined, I can see error messages.


It seems that CloudDeploy's deployed object definition isn't closed over the set of definitions in effect. However, the docs (at ref/CloudDeploy.html) specify that:



CloudDeploy[expr,…] automatically deploys all definitions needed to evaluate expr, much like CloudSave.



Am I misunderstanding something here?



Answer



The quick fix is to use Manipulate's SaveDefinitions, making it responsible for storing dependencies:


f = Sin[x];

CloudDeploy[
Manipulate[Plot[f, {x, 0, t}], {t, 1, 15}, SaveDefinitions -> True]
]

I don't know if that is expected, maybe Documentation sticks to the wording precisely here. So it happens because f is not needed to evaluate Manipulate (it is needed to display it):


InputForm @ Manipulate[Plot[f, {x, 0, t}], {t, 1, 15}]

in contrary to e.g. InputForm @ Grid[f].


On the other hand it does not make much sense since CloudDeploy does not Hold its arguments which means expr is evaluated before sending, which means no additional definition will ever be needed if we stick to the wording...


So maybe it is worth reporting?

functions - Get leading series expansion term?

Given a function f[x] , I would like to have a function leadingSeries that returns just the leading term in the series around x=0 . For example: leadingSeries[(1/x + 2)/(4 + 1/x^2 + x)] x and leadingSeries[(1/x + 2 + (1 - 1/x^3)/4)/(4 + x)] -(1/(16 x^3)) Is there such a function in Mathematica? Or maybe one can implement it efficiently? EDIT I finally went with the following implementation, based on Carl Woll 's answer: lds[ex_,x_]:=( (ex/.x->(x+O[x]^2))/.SeriesData[U_,Z_,L_List,Mi_,Ma_,De_]:>SeriesData[U,Z,{L[[1]]},Mi,Mi+1,De]//Quiet//Normal) The advantage is, that this one also properly works with functions whose leading term is a constant: lds[Exp[x],x] 1 Answer Update 1 Updated to eliminate SeriesData and to not return additional terms Perhaps you could use: leadingSeries[expr_, x_] := Normal[expr /. x->(x+O[x]^2) /. a_List :> Take[a, 1]] Then for your examples: leadingSeries[(1/x + 2)/(4 + 1/x^2 + x), x] leadingSeries[Exp[x], x] leadingSeries[(1/x + 2 + (1 - 1/x...

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-...
