curated data - Building graph based on the cities connection?


I built a Graph based on the permutations of city's connections from :


largUSCities = 
Select[CityData[{All, "USA"}], CityData[#, "Population"] > 600000 &];
uScityCoords = CityData[#, "Coordinates"] & /@ largUSCities;
Graph[#[[1]] -> #[[2]] & /@ Permutations[largUSCities, {2}] , 
VertexCoordinates -> Reverse[uScityCoords, 2], VertexStyle -> Red, 
Prolog -> {LightBrown, CountryData["USA", "FullPolygon"]},ImageSize -> 650]

It looks like this: graph



My question, is there any way to have the Graph like this? enter image description here

Revised answer


This uses the connectivity between states to create the graph, and uses the coordinates of the center of each state rather than the cities. I couldn't find a way to get these easily from Mathematica or from WolframAlpha (I'm no Harry Potter, and failed to discover the correct incantation for the latter). But I found a table somewhere:


stateConnections = {{"NV", "CA", "AZ", "UT", "ID", "OR"}, {"OR", "CA",

graph of the usa


Apparently the order of the vertices is required from the graph before you can draw the vertices at the right coordinates on the graph - hence the weird use of temp = Graph[connections /. stateToNumber] before creating the graph again for real.

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-...

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...
