programming - How to Synchronise Manipulates in Different Cells?


I need to have a few Manipulates in different cells synchronize on a few variables.


I have a report with several Manipulates in different sections showing different views/summaries of the data. Some of the selection variables are common to all Manipulates. When the reader updates one of these common in any of the Manipulates I would like all Manipulates to update the value of that variable and execute (or maybe execute on "MouseMoved" so the CDF doesn't crawl).


Using a Notebook level variable (I have CellContext set to Notebook in Global Preferences) I can see that the sync variable is syncing but I can't seem to get the Manipulates to use it.



sync = 1;

DynamicModule[{d = Range[10]},
 Manipulate[
  Column[{d[[;; j]], sync}],
  {{j, 1}, 1, 10, 1, 
   TrackingFunction -> {(j = sync) &, (j = #) &, (j = #; sync = #) &}}
  ],
 SaveDefinitions -> True
 ]


DynamicModule[{d = Range[10, 100, 10]},
 Manipulate[
  Column[{d[[;; i]], sync}],
  {{i, 1}, 1, 10, 1, 
   TrackingFunction -> {(i = sync) &, (i = #) &, (i = #; sync = #) &}}
  ],
 SaveDefinitions -> True
 ]


There is the new Channel-Based Communication in version 11 that might help but I don't have that installed yet (and it is experimental). I'll take an 10.4.1 or an 11 solution but I need it to work in CDF. Not certain there is Player Pro for version 11 yet.



Answer



Another approach is to localize the context of the CDF and use LocalizeVariables -> False in Manipulate. You have to remember to manually localize controls in the Manipulate that you don't want to share.


SetOptions[EvaluationNotebook[], CellContext -> Notebook]

DynamicModule[{d = Range[10], offset},
 Manipulate[d[[;; j]] + offset,
  {{j, 1}, 1, 10, 1}, {offset, 0, 1},
  LocalizeVariables -> False],
 SaveDefinitions -> True]


DynamicModule[{d = Range[10, 100, 10], offset},
 Manipulate[d[[;; j]] + offset,
  {{j, 1}, 1, 10, 1}, {offset, 0, 1},
  LocalizeVariables -> False],
 SaveDefinitions -> True]

Mathematica graphics


I'm not sure which way will be too much trouble, maintaining the TrackingFunctions (e.g. Kuba's answers) or the scope of variables. Someone on the site once said Manipulate is a beast (in part because it automatically rewrites your code, which is probably why the OP had trouble). The typical advice here when things get complicated is to abandon Manipulate and do it all yourself with DynamicModule[].

plotting - How to draw lines between specified dots on ListPlot?

I would like to create a plot where I have unconnected dots and some connected. So far, I have figured out how to draw the dots. My code is the following: ListPlot[{{1, 1}, {2, 2}, {3, 3}, {4, 4}, {1, 4}, {2, 5}, {3, 6}, {4, 7}, {1, 7}, {2, 8}, {3, 9}, {4, 10}, {1, 10}, {2, 11}, {3, 12}, {4,13}, {2.5, 7}}, Ticks -> {{1, 2, 3, 4}, None}, AxesStyle -> Thin, TicksStyle -> Directive[Black, Bold, 12], Mesh -> Full] I have thought using ListLinePlot command, but I don't know how to specify to the command to draw only selected lines between the dots. Do have any suggestions/hints on how to do that? Thank you. Answer One possibility would be to use Epilog with Line : ListPlot[ {{1, 1}, {2, 2}, {3, 3}, {4, 4}, {1, 4}, {2, 5}, {3, 6}, {4, 7}, {1, 7}, {2, 8}, {3, 9}, {4, 10}, {1, 10}, {2, 11}, {3, 12}, {4, 13}, {2.5, 7}}, Ticks -> {{1, 2, 3, 4}, None}, AxesStyle -> Thin, TicksStyle -> Directive[Black, Bold, 12], Mesh -> Full, Epilog -> { Line[ ...

equation solving - Invert and fit implicitly defined curve

I need to fit an implicitly defined curve. I thought I could get some data out of Solve , and then using FindFit . Therefore, I would like to find the relation the parametric curve defined by $F(x,y)=0$: Solve[-(1/2) + 1/2 (0.41202 BesselK[0, 0.1 Sqrt[x^2 + y^2]] + (0.101483 x BesselK[1, 0.1 Sqrt[x^2 + y^2]])/Sqrt[x^2 + y^2]) == 0, y] But I can't get an output: Solve was unable to solve the system with inexact coefficients or the system obtained by direct rationalization of inexact numbers present in the system. Since many of the methods used by Solve require exact input, providing Solve with an exact version of the system may help. >> Edit: In particular, I would like to fit the data coming from the curve with the expression of another curve, and not with a function $f(x)$. In particular, since this clearly looks like a cardioid , I would like it to fit to something like it. What other strategies could I try?

dynamic - How can I make a clickable ArrayPlot that returns input?

I would like to create a dynamic ArrayPlot so that the rectangles, when clicked, provide the input. Can I use ArrayPlot for this? Or is there something else I should have to use? Answer ArrayPlot is much more than just a simple array like Grid : it represents a ranged 2D dataset, and its visualization can be finetuned by options like DataReversed and DataRange . These features make it quite complicated to reproduce the same layout and order with Grid . Here I offer AnnotatedArrayPlot which comes in handy when your dataset is more than just a flat 2D array. The dynamic interface allows highlighting individual cells and possibly interacting with them. AnnotatedArrayPlot works the same way as ArrayPlot and accepts the same options plus Enabled , HighlightCoordinates , HighlightStyle and HighlightElementFunction . data = {{Missing["HasSomeMoreData"], GrayLevel[ 1], {RGBColor[0, 1, 1], RGBColor[0, 0, 1], GrayLevel[1]}, RGBColor[0, 1, 0]}, {GrayLevel[0], GrayLevel...
