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[ ...

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...

Is there a way to do conditional matrix loop using 'continue'

I have the following: n = 3; m = 5; ww = RandomReal[{0, 0.1}, {n, n}]; uu = RandomReal[{0, 1}, {m, n}]; pp = RandomReal[{0, 1}, {n, n}]; ss = RandomInteger[{0, 5}, {m, n}]; Grid[{{"ww", "uu", "pp", "ss"}, {ww // TableForm, uu // TableForm, pp // TableForm, ss // TableForm}}, Spacings -> {5, 2}, Dividers -> All] where I would like to look at every element of matrix ss and produce a matrix tt , with zeroes at the locations in ss which have zeroes, and in all other positions do the following: tt = (-1/Subscript[ww, m]) Log[(1 - uu)/(Subscript[pp, m - 1])], where Subscript[ww, m] is the value at index of ww matrix and where Subscript[pp, m - 1] is the value at index-1 of pp matrix. So for example if the first value ever read from matrix ss happens to be 2, then value taken from matrix ww would be from the row 2, but from pp would be from row 1. Also how to tell difference between a 0 as a valid value from within the matrix elemen...
