plotting - MatrixPlot with Tooltips


MatrixPlot is very nice to have a first look of data, I would like to have a MatrixPlot with tooltips for each value. I tried adding Tooltip to all the values but it didn't work. My matrix is not very big (~20x25), so each square is visible.


EDIT: This is the version I did using the answer of Heike:


matPlot[matWithTooltips_, opts : OptionsPattern[]] := 

 With[{dim = Dimensions[matWithTooltips], 
   mat = matWithTooltips /. Tooltip[a_, ___] :> a},
  DynamicModule[{pt = {0, 0}, ij, xy, label, direction},
   direction[mxy_] := 1 - 2 Boole[Thread[mxy > dim/2]];
   LocatorPane[Dynamic[pt],
    Dynamic[
     xy = Floor[pt];
     ij = {dim[[1]], 1} + Cross[xy];
     label = If[And @@ Thread[1 <= ij <= dim],
       {{FaceForm[], EdgeForm[{Thick, LightGray}], Rectangle[xy]},

        Text[
         Framed[Replace[
           Extract[matWithTooltips, ij], {Tooltip[a_, b_] :> b, 
            Tooltip[a_] :> a}], Background -> White],
         direction[xy] + xy,
         -1.2 direction[xy]]},
       {}];
     MatrixPlot[mat, Epilog -> label, opts]],
    AutoAction -> True,
    Appearance -> None]]]


The main improvement is that it can receive a matrix with its own tooltips in the data.


Thanks to all for the help.



Answer



This is just an elaboration of faleichik's answer. To create a MatrixPlot with tooltip labelling and highlighting of the selected square similar to for example BarChart or BubbleChart you could do something like


matPlot[mat_, opts : OptionsPattern[]] :=
 With[{dim = Dimensions[mat]},
  DynamicModule[{pt = {0, 0}, ij, xy, label, direction},
   direction = 1 - 2 Boole[Thread[# > dim/2]] &;
   LocatorPane[Dynamic[pt],

    Dynamic[xy = Floor[pt];
     ij = {dim[[1]], 1} + Cross[xy];
     label = If[Nand @@ Thread[1 <= ij <= dim], {},
       (* else *)
       {{FaceForm[], EdgeForm[{Thick, LightGray}], Rectangle[xy]},
        Text[Framed[mat ~Extract~ ij, Background -> White],
         direction[xy] + xy, -1.2 direction[xy]]}];
     MatrixPlot[mat, Epilog -> label, opts]],
    AutoAction -> True,
    Appearance -> None]

   ]]

mat = RandomReal[1, {30, 40}];
matPlot[mat, ColorFunction -> "DeepSeaColors"]

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-...

How to thread a list

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[ ...
