manipulate - trouble with Dynamic range in SetterBar


It appears that I can set the range to a Dynamic variable in a Manipulate control, but not in a SetterBar control? :


Manipulate[
 tick;
 Dynamic@If[ tabNumber == dynTab, Plot[ x^2, {x, 0, 1}],

   Plot[ 1 - x^2, {x, 0, 1}]]
 , TabView[ {
   "dynamic range" -> Column[ tabNumber = dynTab ; {
      Row[{Manipulator[
         Dynamic[m2, (m2 = #; tick = Not[tick]) &], {2, Dynamic@range,
           2}], " ", Dynamic[m2] }],
      Row[{SetterBar[Dynamic[s2, (s2 = #; tick = Not[tick]) &],
         Range[Dynamic@range]], " ", Dynamic[s1] }]
      }],
   "static range" -> Column[ tabNumber = staticTab ; {

      Row[{Manipulator[
         Dynamic[m1, (m1 = #; tick = Not[tick]) &], {2, 8, 2}], " ",
        Dynamic[m1] }],
      Row[{SetterBar[Dynamic[s1, (s1 = #; tick = Not[tick]) &],
         Range[8]], " ", Dynamic[s1] }]
      }]
   }, Dynamic @tabNumber ]
 , {{tick, False}, None}
 , {{tabNumber, 1}, None}, {{dynTab, 1}, None}, {{staticTab, 2}, None}
 , {{m1, 2}, None}, {{m2, 2}, None}, {{s1, 2}, None}, {{s2, 2}, None}

 , {{range, 8}, None}
 , TrackedSymbols :> {tick}, ControlPlacement -> Left
 ]

This produces an error 'Range::range: "Range specification in Range[range] does not have appropriate bounds. "':


Range error


Observe that the Manipulate in the same tab that uses a Dynamic range works fine. The other tab (not shown in the image) that uses static ranges is fine (for both Manipulate and SetterBar)?


[EDIT:]


Nasser suggested Evaluate@With[{range = ...}, ...], which assumed range was constant, as in the example above. Here's an example that is more representitive of what I'm attempting to do (with range based on the count of the number of Locators in a LocatorPane, which can be added with Alt-Click in that pane).


Manipulate[tick;

 If[tabNumber == dynTab, Plot[x^2, {x, 0, 1}],
  Plot[1 - x^2, {x, 0, 1}]]
 , TabView[{
   "use n-loc as range" -> Column[tabNumber = dynTab; {
      "dynamic range manipulators:",
      Row[{Manipulator[Dynamic[m2, (m2 = #; tick = Not[tick]) &],
         Dynamic@{1, 2 range}], " ", Dynamic[m2]}],
      Row[{SetterBar[Dynamic[s2, (s2 = #; tick = Not[tick]) &],
         Dynamic@Range[range]], " ", Dynamic[s1]}],
      "static range manipulators:",

      Row[{Manipulator[
         Dynamic[m1, (m1 = #; tick = Not[tick]) &], {1, 4}], " ",
        Dynamic[m1]}],
      Row[{SetterBar[Dynamic[s1, (s1 = #; tick = Not[tick]) &],
         Range[4]], " ", Dynamic[s1]}]
      }],
   "loc" -> Column[tabNumber = staticTab; {
      LocatorPane[ Dynamic[u, (
          u = # ;
          range = (Dimensions[u] // First);

          tick = Not[tick]) &],
       Plot[x^3, {x, -1, 1}, PlotRange -> {{-1, 1}, {-1, 1}}],
       LocatorAutoCreate -> True,
       ContinuousAction -> False
       ]
      , Row[{"u = ", Dynamic@u}]
      }]
   }, Dynamic@tabNumber]
 , {{tick, False}, None}
 , {{u, {{0.5, 0.3}, {0.3, 0.9}}}, None}

 , {{tabNumber, 1}, None} , {{dynTab, 1}, None} , {{staticTab, 2}, None}
 , {{m1, 2}, None} , {{m2, 2}, None} , {{s1, 2}, None} , {{s2, 2}, None}
 , {{range, 2}, None}
 , TrackedSymbols :> {tick}, ControlPlacement -> Left
 (*use a global (comment out range above to try) ... doesn't work: *)
 (*, Initialization\[RuleDelayed] { range = 2 ; }*)
 ]

In this example, I put the Dynamic outside of the Range expression. This eliminates the error text, but still doesn't work. The SetterBar shows up as text: SetterBar[2, {1,2}]



Answer




Dynamic[SetterBar[Dynamic[s2, (s2 = #; tick = Not[tick]) &], Range[range]], 
TrackedSymbols :> {range}]

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}]
