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.

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-...

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...
