output formatting - Symbol with Subscript but no quotes in it!


If I use the following function to define me a fancy subscript:


Needs["Notation`"];
Symbolize[ParsedBoxWrapper[SubscriptBox["_", "_"]]]

SetAttributes[fancySubscript,HoldFirst]

fancySubscript[var_Symbol, tag_String, index_Integer] /;
Not[ValueQ[var]] := Subscript[var, tag <> ToString[index]]


fancySubscript[var_Symbol, tags : {_String ..}, index_Integer] /;
Not[ValueQ[var]] := fancySubscript[var, #, index] & /@ tags

fancySubscript[var_Symbol, tags : {_String ..}, indices : {_Integer ..}] /;
Not[ValueQ[var]] := fancySubscript[var, tags, #] & /@ indices

I can use the following now:


fancySubscript[b, {"b"}, Range@3]



$\left( \begin{array}{c} b_{\text{b1}} \\ b_{\text{b2}} \\ b_{\text{b3}} \\ \end{array} \right)$



With the notation module by symbolizing the subscripts: the values are now :


b\[UnderBracket]Subscript\[UnderBracket]DoubleQuote\[UnderBracket]b1\[UnderBracket]DoubleQuote

1. Problem
But when I want to refer to such a variable in the list above and write with the shortcuts in a cell by typing b then Ctrl+_ then 1.


The variable is a new symbol because i did not use Quotes ""


b\[UnderBracket]Subscript\[UnderBracket]b1


How can we circumvent this that I can still write all variables in the cell and they are parsed and interpreted as the one defined in the fancySubscript command?


It is not so easy because, when I would use something like this:


fancySubscript[b, {b}, Range@3]

I would get an infinite loop, because it is no more a string, hm...


2. Problem:


I cannot assign it back to the variable b:


 b=fancySubscript[b, {"b"}, Range@3]

This gives an infinite loop, but when I try this:



btemp=fancySubscript[b, {"b"}, Range@3]
b=btemp

This should work, and not give an inifinte loop, because btemp contains the new defined symbols and they should then be assigned to b again, but also here mathematica trys to run a recursion which I dont understand??

list manipulation - Selecting multiple columns from a matrix?

Sample data: data = { {{2013, 1, 1}, 24.13, 167.67, 231.82}, {{2013, 1, 2}, 32.15, 170.92, 225.99}, {{2013, 1, 3}, 35.43, 172.68, 221.67}, {{2013, 1, 4}, 36.73, 173.05, 218.32}, {{2013, 1, 5}, 58.19, 165.96, 197.05}, {{2013, 1, 6}, 69.99, 163.50, 187.52}, {{2013, 1, 7}, 71.37, 154.21, 175.58}, {{2013, 1, 8}, 72.51, 149.66, 163.25}}; I want a DateListPlot with three graphs, so for a matrix formed by columns 1 and 2, one for columns 1 and 3, and 1 for columns 1 and 4. At the moment I'm using this code: data2 = Transpose[{data[[All, 1]], data[[All, 2]]}]; data3 = Transpose[{data[[All, 1]], data[[All, 3]]}]; data4 = Transpose[{data[[All, 1]], data[[All, 4]]}]; DateListPlot[{data2, data3, data4}, Joined -> True, Filling -> {3 -> {1}}] but I have a hunch that this can be done more efficiently. I don't like the Transpose s in particular. Any ideas? edit (for extra credit) What if I need to multiply the second column by 2, which in my solution is simp...

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...
