manipulate - Object isn't fully displayed in DialogInput


Update: Here's a simper example to reproduce the issue:



DialogInput[Table[InputField[], {50}], WindowSize -> All]

On my 1366×768 screen only no more than 17 InputFields are displayed.




This happens at least when a Manipulate that owns a big enough image and an adequate number of controller is inside DialogInput. Try the following example:


picture = Rasterize[Table[i + j, {i, 40}, {j, 40}] // MatrixForm];
DialogInput[{Manipulate[picture, {a}, {a}, {a}, {a}, {a}],
DefaultButton@DialogReturn[]}, WindowSize -> All]

enter image description here



As one can see, the last line of the matrix and the DefaultButton aren't displayed, and the WindowSize -> All option doesn't work. What am I doing wrong here? Or it's a bug? Let alone whether it's a bug or not, how to fix it (in a general way if possible)?


The issue seems to be related to the screen resolution. (Mine is 1366×768.) If you own a better screen, you may need to make the picture larger to reproduce it.



Answer



I might not have understood the question correctly. But it seems to me that adding


WindowElements->"VerticalScrollBar" to the code should fix the problem. a simple code


DialogInput[Table[InputField[i], {i, 2000}], WindowElements -> "VerticalScrollBar"]

works real well.


Here's my screenshot of the last several InputField:

Still works for the original Dialog with Manipulate.


picture = Rasterize[Table[i + j, {i, 40}, {j, 40}] // MatrixForm];
DialogInput[{Manipulate[picture, {a}, {a}, {a}, {a}, {a}],
DefaultButton@DialogReturn[]}, WindowSize -> All,
WindowElements -> "VerticalScrollBar"]

functions - Get leading series expansion term?

Given a function f[x] , I would like to have a function leadingSeries that returns just the leading term in the series around x=0 . For example: leadingSeries[(1/x + 2)/(4 + 1/x^2 + x)] x and leadingSeries[(1/x + 2 + (1 - 1/x^3)/4)/(4 + x)] -(1/(16 x^3)) Is there such a function in Mathematica? Or maybe one can implement it efficiently? EDIT I finally went with the following implementation, based on Carl Woll 's answer: lds[ex_,x_]:=( (ex/.x->(x+O[x]^2))/.SeriesData[U_,Z_,L_List,Mi_,Ma_,De_]:>SeriesData[U,Z,{L[[1]]},Mi,Mi+1,De]//Quiet//Normal) The advantage is, that this one also properly works with functions whose leading term is a constant: lds[Exp[x],x] 1 Answer Update 1 Updated to eliminate SeriesData and to not return additional terms Perhaps you could use: leadingSeries[expr_, x_] := Normal[expr /. x->(x+O[x]^2) /. a_List :> Take[a, 1]] Then for your examples: leadingSeries[(1/x + 2)/(4 + 1/x^2 + x), x] leadingSeries[Exp[x], x] leadingSeries[(1/x + 2 + (1 - 1/x...

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...

What is and isn't a valid variable specification for Manipulate?

I have an expression whose terms have arguments (representing subscripts), like this: myExpr = A[0] + V[1,T] I would like to put it inside a Manipulate to see its value as I move around the parameters. (The goal is eventually to plot it wrt one of the variables inside.) However, Mathematica complains when I set V[1,T] as a manipulated variable: Manipulate[Evaluate[myExpr], {A[0], 0, 1}, {V[1, T], 0, 1}] (*Manipulate::vsform: Manipulate argument {V[1,T],0,1} does not have the correct form for a variable specification. >> *) As a workaround, if I get rid of the symbol T inside the argument, it works fine: Manipulate[ Evaluate[myExpr /. T -> 15], {A[0], 0, 1}, {V[1, 15], 0, 1}] Why this behavior? Can anyone point me to the documentation that says what counts as a valid variable? And is there a way to get Manpiulate to accept an expression with a symbolic argument as a variable? Investigations I've done so far: I tried using variableQ from this answer , but it says V[1...
