scripting - Running Mathematica Notebook files in command mode


The question is, how can I run a .nb file in the kernel mode of Mathematica? I am not an expert in Mathematica, but one of our users who use this program says that in the GUI mode, he selects all the cells (CTRL+A) and then evaluates the notebook (SHIFT+ENTER). However, he wants to run the program in background.


When I test with math < file.nb, the program quickly exits; however, in the GUI mode, the run time is very large actually.


I read other documentation articles about that, but since I am not expert in Mathmatica, I have no idea!


As an example, solve.nb file is an input to the command math -run < solve.nb. The output is also available here.


enter image description here


I have no idea what the output means :|



I simply tried to port the solution to Linux. So I wrote a solve.m file containing


NotebookPauseForEvaluation[nb_] := Module[{},

While[NotebookEvaluatingQ[nb],Pause[1]]];

NotebookEvaluatingQ[nb_]:=Module[{},
SelectionMove[nb,All,Notebook];
Or@@Map["Evaluating"/.#&,Developer`CellInformation[nb]]
];

UsingFrontEnd[
nb = NotebookOpen["/home/mahmood/solve.nb"];
SelectionMove[nb, All, Notebook];

SelectionEvaluate[nb]
NotebookPauseForEvaluation[nb];
NotebookSave[nb];
];

Quit[];

Here is the output of what I see


mahmood@cluster:~$ MathKernel -noprompt -initfile solve.m 
mahmood@cluster:~$ 

LinkConnect::linkc: -- Message text not found -- (LinkObject[7wkjs_shm, 3, 1])
^C
mahmood@cluster:~$

Note that I pressec ^c after several minutes. Also, the is no output file containing th results.



I tried the solution as given by selecting the cells, initialize them and then save the file as .m. I did that on a GUI machine. The saved script file contains


(* ::Package:: *)
a = 3;    
Solve[x^2 + a*x + 1 == 0, x]


As you can see, the last line in the notebook file is not there in the script file. I ran the command and saw


mahmood@cluster:~$ /apps/Mathematica/10.3/SystemFiles/Kernel/Binaries/Linux-x86-64/MathematicaScript -script solve3.m 
mahmood@cluster:~$

Is that all? There is no output file containing the result

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[ ...

equation solving - Invert and fit implicitly defined curve

I need to fit an implicitly defined curve. I thought I could get some data out of Solve , and then using FindFit . Therefore, I would like to find the relation the parametric curve defined by $F(x,y)=0$: Solve[-(1/2) + 1/2 (0.41202 BesselK[0, 0.1 Sqrt[x^2 + y^2]] + (0.101483 x BesselK[1, 0.1 Sqrt[x^2 + y^2]])/Sqrt[x^2 + y^2]) == 0, y] But I can't get an output: Solve was unable to solve the system with inexact coefficients or the system obtained by direct rationalization of inexact numbers present in the system. Since many of the methods used by Solve require exact input, providing Solve with an exact version of the system may help. >> Edit: In particular, I would like to fit the data coming from the curve with the expression of another curve, and not with a function $f(x)$. In particular, since this clearly looks like a cardioid , I would like it to fit to something like it. What other strategies could I try?

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...
