graphics - Dynamically splitting Disks with Mouseover


I've recently stumbled across this site: Koalas to the Max, and the first thought that came to my mind was "I want to recreate this with Mathematica".


As a first step I tried to create a Disk that splits itself up into four disks, when the mouse cursor touches it. Those four disks should in turn split themselves up. Here's what I have so far:


makeDisks[pos_] := makeDisks[1, pos]

makeDisks[level_, pos_] :=
 Module[{
   disk = Disk[pos, 1/level]},
  Mouseover[Dynamic@disk, Dynamic[disk = makeDisks[level + 1, #] & /@ 
   (pos + # & /@ (1/(2 level)) Tuples[{-1, 1}, 2])]]
  ]

(* test with the following *)

 Graphics[{makeDisks[1]},

   PlotRange -> {{-1, 1}, {-1, 1}}]

For the first disk this seems to work just as I want it. For later steps, however, I got the positioning wrong and some of the disks go back to larger ones, when another one is touched. How can these issues be fixed?


As a next step I want to add colors to the disks. Maybe this can be done by using MapIndexed with makeDisks on the ImageData of some image. The colors in each step should probably be the mean values of appropriate subsets of the image data.


Any help to move this little program forward is highly appreciated!



Answer



Here's a simple way using buttons, for some reason AutoAction is not working so you have to click, anyone know why?


nextPos[p_, r_] := {p + # r/2, r/2} & /@ Tuples[{1, -1}, 2]

DynamicModule[{diskList = {{ {0, 0}, 1}}},

 Graphics[Dynamic[
   Button[{ColorData["Rainbow"][Last@#], Disk @@ #},
      diskList = DeleteCases[Join[diskList, nextPos @@ #], #]
      ,AutoAction -> True
      ] & /@ diskList]]
 ]

circles


The coloring is only based on depth (radius)


Basing color on underlying image:



background = ImageCrop[ExampleData[{"TestImage", "Peppers"}], AspectRatio -> 1];

DynamicModule[{diskList = {{{0, 0}, 1}}}, Graphics[Dynamic[
   Button[{RGBColor@ImageValue[background,First@#, DataRange -> {{-1, 1}, {-1, 1}}],
       Disk @@ #} 
     ,diskList = DeleteCases[Join[diskList, nextPos @@ #], #]
     ,AutoAction -> True] & /@ diskList]]]

Using code from @Szabolcs comment it's possible to split the disks without clicking:



(* Create at most 2^6=64 disks in a row *) 
rmin = 2^-6;
DynamicModule[{diskList = {{{0., 0.}, 1.}}}, Graphics[Dynamic[
  EventHandler[{RGBColor@ImageValue[background, First@#, DataRange -> {{-1, 1}, {-1, 1}}], 
                Disk @@ #}
    ,{"MouseMoved" :>
      If[Last@# > rmin, diskList =DeleteCases[Join[diskList, nextPos @@ #], #]]}
   ] & /@ diskList]]
]

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...

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...

plotting - Plot 4D data with color as 4th dimension

I have a list of 4D data (x position, y position, amplitude, wavelength). I want to plot x, y, and amplitude on a 3D plot and have the color of the points correspond to the wavelength. I have seen many examples using functions to define color but my wavelength cannot be expressed by an analytic function. Is there a simple way to do this? Answer Here a another possible way to visualize 4D data: data = Flatten[Table[{x, y, x^2 + y^2, Sin[x - y]}, {x, -Pi, Pi,Pi/10}, {y,-Pi,Pi, Pi/10}], 1]; You can use the function Point along with VertexColors . Now the points are places using the first three elements and the color is determined by the fourth. In this case I used Hue, but you can use whatever you prefer. Graphics3D[ Point[data[[All, 1 ;; 3]], VertexColors -> Hue /@ data[[All, 4]]], Axes -> True, BoxRatios -> {1, 1, 1/GoldenRatio}]
