front end - Making cells group


After reading rcollyer's post I'm still not able to understand how grouping rules work. Here is a problem I'm facing. What I want is to create a new title, section and subsection styles. I want the title to group everything below till the next title. The section should group everything below till the next section. To see what I mean, open up a new notebook. Go to Format > Edit Stylesheet....


On this stylesheet make a new cell. Then select this cell and go to Cell > Show Expression.


Here enter the following:


Cell[StyleData["MyTitle"],
 CellGroupingRules->{"MyTitleGrouping", 0},
 CounterIncrements->"MyTitle",

 CounterAssignments->{{"MySection", 0}, {"MySubsection", 0}},
 FontSize->26,
]

Once this has been entered now go to Cell > Show Expression to revert back. Let us create two more cells in the same fashion, one for the section and subsection.


Cell[StyleData["MySection"],
 CellGroupingRules->{"MyTitleGrouping", 10},
 CounterIncrements->"MySection",
 CounterAssignments->{{"MySubsection", 0}},
 CellFrameLabels->{{

    Cell[
     TextData[
      CounterBox["MySection"], " -"], CellBaseline -> Baseline], Inherited}, {
   Inherited, Inherited}},
 FontSize->20,
]

Finally, the subsection:


Cell[StyleData["MySubsection"],
 CellGroupingRules->{"MyTitleGrouping", 20},

 CellFrameLabels->{{
    Cell[
     TextData[
      CounterBox["MySection"], ".", 
      CounterBox["MySubsection"], " -"], CellBaseline -> Baseline], 
    Inherited}, {Inherited, Inherited}},
 CounterIncrements->"MySubsection",
 FontSize->16,
]


After creating those new styles, now we can use them, here is a screenshot of what I obtained if I use the "MyTitle", "MySection" and "MySubsection" styles.

Don't mind the text I entered there. The main point here is that there is no grouping.


How can I make it behave as the regular "Title", "Section" and "Subsection" styles?

Answer



You are inventing your own grouping types. If you open the Options Inspector and go to Cell Options -> General Properties -> CellGroupingRules the drop-down shows several options available: "NormalGrouping", "TitleGrouping", "SectionGrouping", "InputGrouping", "OutputGrouping", "GraphicsGrouping", "GroupTogetherGrouping", and "GroupTogetherNestedGrouping".


You have used "MyTitleGrouping" which is not part of the list. Per my previous question, what you are looking for is "TitleGrouping" for "MyTitle" and "SectionGrouping" for "MySection" and "MySubSection". Implementing these changes, your code becomes:


Cell[StyleData["MyTitle"],
 CellGroupingRules->{"TitleGrouping", 0},

 CounterIncrements->"MyTitle",
 CounterAssignments->{{"MySection", 0}, {"MySubsection", 0}},
 FontSize->26,
]

Cell[StyleData["MySection"],
 CellGroupingRules->{"SectionGrouping", 10},
 CounterIncrements->"MySection",
 CounterAssignments->{{"MySubsection", 0}},
 CellFrameLabels->{{

    Cell[
     TextData[
      CounterBox["MySection"], " -"], CellBaseline -> Baseline], Inherited}, {
   Inherited, Inherited}},
 FontSize->20,
]

Cell[StyleData["MySubsection"],
 CellGroupingRules->{"SectionGrouping", 20},
 CellFrameLabels->{{

    Cell[
     TextData[
      CounterBox["MySection"], ".", 
      CounterBox["MySubsection"], " -"], CellBaseline -> Baseline], 
    Inherited}, {Inherited, Inherited}},
 CounterIncrements->"MySubsection",
 FontSize->16,
]



Here's the end result, for a simple notebook:

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...
