list manipulation - Interactive grid


I would like to create an interactive grid, whereby one number from a grid is selected by the cursor ("3" in the example below), and all other numbers in the grid are highlighted that are related to the chosen number, and each successive number after that. In the example below, "3" is the selected number, and the highlighted numbers are double the previous one.


I am not sure whether a loop, or a direct function (in this case, clearly multiplying by powers of 2) would be the best approach - I assume the function-apply approach would be the quickest for large grids.


Below is an example:


enter image description here


generated with:


m = 10;(*size of the grid*)

premade = Transpose@Partition[Range@100, m];


col[n_] := Table[{n - 0.5, i - 0.5}, {i, 1, m}]

Graphics[{
{Red, Opacity[0.3], Rectangle[{0, 2}, {01, 3}]},
{Red, Opacity[0.3], Rectangle[{0, 5}, {01, 6}]},
{Red, Opacity[0.3], Rectangle[{1, 1}, {02, 2}]},
{Red, Opacity[0.3], Rectangle[{2, 3}, {03, 4}]},
{Red, Opacity[0.3], Rectangle[{4, 7}, {05, 8}]},
{Red, Opacity[0.3], Rectangle[{9, 5}, {10, 6}]},


Table[Text[Style[premade[[#, i]], Large, FontFamily -> "Times"],col[i][[#]]] &
/@ Range@m, {i, 1, m}]},
GridLines -> {Range@m, Range@m}, PlotRange -> {{0, m}, {0, m}},
Axes -> False, Frame -> True,
GridLinesStyle -> Directive[GrayLevel[0.8], Dashed]]

NOTE: All columns will be separate lists.



Answer



Here is what I would propose related to the use of Graphics:



DynamicModule[{color = Red, m = 10, premade, col, posnum, posFriends, 
unSortedPos, posMouse = {0, 0}, positionColor = {{0, 0}}},
(*Initialization code*)
premade = Transpose@Partition[Range@(m*m), m];
col[n_] := Table[{n - 0.5, i - 0.5}, {i, 1, m}];

EventHandler[
Graphics[
{
Dynamic@{Opacity@0.2, Red, Rectangle /@ positionColor},

Table[Text[Style[premade[[#, i]], Large, FontFamily -> "Times"],
col[i][[#]]] & /@ Range@m, {i, 1, m}]
},
GridLines -> {Range@m, Range@m}, PlotRange -> {{0, m}, {0, m}}, Axes -> False,
Frame -> True, GridLinesStyle -> Directive[GrayLevel[0.8], Dashed], ImageSize -> 350],

{"MouseDown" :> (posMouse = Floor[MousePosition["Graphics", Graphics], 1];
posFriends[premade, posnum@premade];)}],

Initialization :>

(
posFriends[list_, start_] :=
(unSortedPos = (# - {1, 1} & /@
Flatten[Position[list, #]&/@ Select[Table[start*2^(i-1), {i, 1, 10}], # <= m*m&], 1]);
positionColor = Reverse@unSortedPos[[#]] & /@ Range@Length@unSortedPos;
);
posnum[list_] := list[[Last@posMouse + 1, First@posMouse + 1]];
)
]

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...
