graphics - Drawing a graph with vertex avoiding edges? (Handling vertices that must be colinear?)


I'd like to draw something like the following graph:



testGraph = Graph[{1 \[UndirectedEdge] 2, 1 \[UndirectedEdge] 4,
                   2 \[UndirectedEdge] 3, 2 \[UndirectedEdge] 5,
                   3 \[UndirectedEdge] 4}, 
                   VertexLabels -> {1 -> "1", 2 -> "2", 3 -> "3", 4 -> "4", 5 -> "5"}, 
                   VertexCoordinates -> {{0, 0}, {1, 1}, {2, 3}, {4, 1}, {3, 3}}, 
                   ImagePadding -> 10]

Mathematica graphics


However, without changing any of the explicitly specified vertex positions, I'd like edges to curve to avoid vertices. For example, while it's fine that the edges between vertices 2 and 5, and 3 and 4 cross, what if I have an edge between vertices 1 & 5 (if I actually do this, Mathematica v9 appears to no longer respect my vertex coordinates) and what if I would like this edge not to pass through a small sphere about vertex 2?


Is there any way to enforce vertex positionings while allowing for curved edges that avoid vertices in Mathematica v9? This is a dream, however, could I specify a length for an edge and have it travel along an arc to meet that length requirement provided stationary vertices?



A hack would involve creating a set of edges between "invisible" vertices, however, it would take a lot of invisible vertices to create an appropriate curvature effect, and this doesn't seem like the right thing to do.



Answer



quick fix is to use EdgeShapeFunction. My function here is not very sophisticated so it may happen that you cross different vertices somewhere some day, so be careful :) :


 Graph[{1 \[UndirectedEdge] 2, 1 \[UndirectedEdge] 4, 2 \[UndirectedEdge] 3,
        2 \[UndirectedEdge] 5, 1 \[UndirectedEdge] 5, 3 \[UndirectedEdge] 4}, 
  VertexLabels -> {1 -> "1", 2 -> "2", 3 -> "3", 4 -> "4", 5 -> "5"}, 
  VertexCoordinates -> {{0, 0}, {1, 1}, {2, 3}, {4, 1}, {3, 3}}, 
  ImagePadding -> 10, 
  EdgeShapeFunction -> (BezierCurve[
                          {#, # + .5 RotationMatrix[.3].(#2 - #), #2} & @@ #] &)]

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...
