dynamic - Trouble using If[] within TabView Manipulate control



If I place an If in the "body" of a Manipulate as in:


Manipulate[tick;
Dynamic@If [ s1 == 1,
{"m1 ", Manipulator[Dynamic[m1, (m1 = #; tick = Not[tick]) &], {1, 4}], " ", Dynamic[m1]},
{"m2 ", Manipulator[Dynamic[m2, (m2 = #; tick = Not[tick]) &], {0, 1}], " ", Dynamic[m2]}
]
, TabView[{ "1" -> Grid[tabNumber = t1;(*Dynamic@*){ }],
"2" -> Grid[tabNumber = t2; {
{"s1 ", SetterBar[Dynamic[s1, (s1 = #; tick = Not[tick]) &], Range[2]], " ", Dynamic[s1]}
}]

}, Dynamic@tabNumber]
, {{tick, False}, None} , {{tabNumber, 1}, None}
, {{t1, 1}, None} , {{t2, 2}, None} , {{m1, 1}, None} , {{m2, 1}, None} , {{s1, 1}, None}
, TrackedSymbols :> {tick}, ControlPlacement -> Left
]

Then the selection of the s1 SetterBar control switches the m1/m2 control in the Manipulate display without any trouble:


If within Manipulate


I'd like to have this condition within the TabView control, something like:


Manipulate[tick;

Dynamic@If[tabNumber == t1, Plot[x^2, {x, 0, 1}],
Plot[1 - x^2, {x, 0, 1}]]
, TabView[{
"1" ->(*Dynamic@*)Grid[tabNumber = t1;(*Dynamic@*){
(*Dynamic@*)If [ s1 == 1,
{"m1 ", Manipulator[ Dynamic[m1, (m1 = #; tick = Not[tick]) &], {1, 4}], " ", Dynamic[m1]},
{"m2 ", Manipulator[ Dynamic[m2, (m2 = #; tick = Not[tick]) &], {0, 1}], " ", Dynamic[m2]}
]
}],
"2" -> Grid[tabNumber = t2; {

{"s1 ", SetterBar[Dynamic[s1, (s1 = #; tick = Not[tick]) &], Range[2]], " ", Dynamic[s1]}
}]
}, Dynamic@tabNumber]
, {{tick, False}, None} , {{tabNumber, 1}, None}
, {{t1, 1}, None} , {{t2, 2}, None} , {{m1, 1}, None} , {{m2, 1}, None} , {{s1, 1}, None}
, TrackedSymbols :> {tick}, ControlPlacement -> Left
]

However, instead of one of the two desired controls showing up within the Tab, this producesGrid[...]` text instead:


Grid text in TabView



Is there a way to get the If condition in the Tab definition to evaluate before the TabView? I have tried all the variations of Dynamic@ that I can think of, but they didn't help.



Answer



I figured it out with the help of Dynamically choosing which Manipulate controls to use . That answer used Control@, which doesn't seem to be required here. However, it also pushes the If, up out of the control. That appears to be the trick:


Manipulate[tick;
Dynamic@If[tabNumber == t1, Plot[x^2, {x, 0, 1}],
Plot[1 - x^2, {x, 0, 1}]]
, Dynamic@If[ s1 == 1, tv[ t1gs1 ], tv[ t1gs2 ] ]
, {{tick, False}, None} , {{tabNumber, 1}, None}
, {{t1, 1}, None} , {{t2, 2}, None} , {{m1, 1}, None} , {{m2, 1}, None} , {{s1, 1}, None}


, TrackedSymbols :> {tick}, ControlPlacement -> Left

, Initialization :>
{
t1gs1 := {{"m1 ", Manipulator[Dynamic[m1, (m1 = #; tick = Not[tick]) &], {1, 4}], " ", Dynamic[m1]}} ;
t1gs2 := { {"m2 ", Manipulator[Dynamic[m2, (m2 = #; tick = Not[tick]) &], {0, 1}], " ", Dynamic[m2]} } ;

tv[pred_] := TabView[{
"1" -> Grid[tabNumber = t1; pred ],
"2" -> Grid[tabNumber = t2; { {"s1 ", SetterBar[Dynamic[s1, (s1 = #; tick = Not[tick]) &], Range[2]], " ", Dynamic[s1]} } ]

}, Dynamic@tabNumber] ;
}
]

I also had to introduce some helper functions for the TabView contents to avoid a whole lot of duplication.


EDIT: another way that works, without requiring global symbols that can be problematic, is to fix the bracing, ensuring that any If statements are entirely constrained within those braces. An example of that, structurally a bit different than above, is:


Manipulate[tick;
Switch[tabNumber, tab1, Plot[x^2, {x, 0, 1}], tab2, Plot[1 - x^2, {x, 0, 1}], _, Plot[Sin[v x] E^(-x), {x, 0, 1}]],
TabView[{
"1" -> Column[{Row[{"1 selected"}]}],

"2" -> Column[{Row[{"2 selected"}]}],
"3" -> Grid[{
{Row[{"3 selected"}]},
{Dynamic@If[s1 == 1, "",
Manipulator[Dynamic[v, (v = #; tick = Not[tick]) &], {1, 10}
, ImageSize -> Tiny, ContinuousAction -> False,
AppearanceElements -> {(*"InputField"*)}]]}
}]}
, Dynamic[tabNumber, (tabNumber = #; tick = Not[tick]) &]
]

, {{tick, False}, None} , {{s1, 1}, {1, 2}} , {{v, 1}, None}
, {{tabNumber, 1}, None}, {{tab1, 1}, None}, {{tab2, 2}, None}, {{tab3, 3}, None}
, TrackedSymbols :> {tick}
, ControlPlacement -> Left
]

This method also uses the second argument of Dynamic to collect tabNumber, which doesn't have side effects that interfere with SaveDefinitions.

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}]

plotting - Filling between two spheres in SphericalPlot3D

Manipulate[ SphericalPlot3D[{1, 2 - n}, {θ, 0, Pi}, {ϕ, 0, 1.5 Pi}, Mesh -> None, PlotPoints -> 15, PlotRange -> {-2.2, 2.2}], {n, 0, 1}] I cant' seem to be able to make a filling between two spheres. I've already tried the obvious Filling -> {1 -> {2}} but Mathematica doesn't seem to like that option. Is there any easy way around this or ... Answer There is no built-in filling in SphericalPlot3D . One option is to use ParametricPlot3D to draw the surfaces between the two shells: Manipulate[ Show[SphericalPlot3D[{1, 2 - n}, {θ, 0, Pi}, {ϕ, 0, 1.5 Pi}, PlotPoints -> 15, PlotRange -> {-2.2, 2.2}], ParametricPlot3D[{ r {Sin[t] Cos[1.5 Pi], Sin[t] Sin[1.5 Pi], Cos[t]}, r {Sin[t] Cos[0 Pi], Sin[t] Sin[0 Pi], Cos[t]}}, {r, 1, 2 - n}, {t, 0, Pi}, PlotStyle -> Yellow, Mesh -> {2, 15}]], {n, 0, 1}]

plotting - Mathematica: 3D plot based on combined 2D graphs

I have several sigmoidal fits to 3 different datasets, with mean fit predictions plus the 95% confidence limits (not symmetrical around the mean) and the actual data. I would now like to show these different 2D plots projected in 3D as in but then using proper perspective. In the link here they give some solutions to combine the plots using isometric perspective, but I would like to use proper 3 point perspective. Any thoughts? Also any way to show the mean points per time point for each series plus or minus the standard error on the mean would be cool too, either using points+vertical bars, or using spheres plus tubes. Below are some test data and the fit function I am using. Note that I am working on a logit(proportion) scale and that the final vertical scale is Log10(percentage). (* some test data *) data = Table[Null, {i, 4}]; data[[1]] = {{1, -5.8}, {2, -5.4}, {3, -0.8}, {4, -0.2}, {5, 4.6}, {1, -6.4}, {2, -5.6}, {3, -0.7}, {4, 0.04}, {5, 1.0}, {1, -6.8}, {2, -4.7}, {3, -1....
