dynamic - Graphics can't be live and editable



Is there a way to construct an interface so that the Code and the Graphics remain in sync? For example I would like to be able to drag/drop and move around different shapes in Graphic while seeing the code change. Then I would like to edit the code so the graphic changes.

I'm aware that you can see the graphics source by hitting Ctrl+Shift+E, but this isn't ideal because the graphics source code is often in the displayform and much more verbose. Additionally it doesn't allow me to see how the code changes while I am editing the code. I'm working on some code that uses dynamic currently, but I'm not sure of the right technique just yet.


EDIT: Both the InputField and the Graphics should be live and editable. The problem currently is that the the Graphics elements can't seem to be Dynamic. If you set it as Dynamic it is impossible to re size and move the elements around.



Answer



I am still working on the code, but I have found the following solution to work the best in M8 because M8 doesn't have the Cells function. I had to use Quiet in several places to do bugs in Mathematica's internal code.

GetCode[] := 
  Cell[BoxData[

    StyleBox[
     DynamicBox[
      ToBoxes[Refresh[
        InputForm @@ 
         MakeExpression@
          First@First@
            Quiet[Cases[NotebookGet[EvaluationNotebook[]][[1]], 
              Cell[___, CellTags -> "MyGraphic", ___], Infinity]], 
        UpdateInterval -> 1], StandardForm]], StripOnInput -> False, 
     LineColor -> GrayLevel[0.5], FrontFaceColor -> GrayLevel[0.5], 

     BackFaceColor -> GrayLevel[0.5], GraphicsColor -> GrayLevel[0.5],
      FontColor -> GrayLevel[0.5]]], "Output", CellTags -> "MyCode"];

DynamicQ[] :=
  (Length@
     Cases[Quiet[
       Cases[NotebookGet[EvaluationNotebook[]][[1]], 
        Cell[___, CellTags -> "MyCode", ___], Infinity], 
       First::first], DynamicBox[___], Infinity] == 1);


CellPrint@
  Cell[BoxData[
    ToBoxes[Graphics[{Circle[]}, ImageSize -> {100, Automatic}]]], 
   "Output", CellTags -> "MyGraphic"];

Print[Button["Diable/Enable Dynamic", If[DynamicQ[],
      NotebookLocate["MyGraphic"];
      code = 
       InputForm @@ 
        MakeExpression@NotebookRead[EvaluationNotebook[]][[1, 1]];

      NotebookLocate["MyCode"];
      NotebookWrite[EvaluationNotebook[], 
       Cell[BoxData[ToBoxes[code]], "Input", CellTags -> "MyCode"]];
      , NotebookLocate["MyCode"];
      Quiet[NotebookWrite[EvaluationNotebook[], GetCode[]]];];

    ] Button["Update Graphics",
    NotebookLocate["MyCode"];
    code = NotebookRead[EvaluationNotebook[]][[1, 1]];
    NotebookLocate["MyGraphic"];

    NotebookWrite[EvaluationNotebook[], Cell[BoxData[ToBoxes@
        ToExpression[code]
       ], "Input", CellTags -> "MyGraphic"]
     ];]];

CellPrint@GetCode[];

plotting - Filling between two spheres in SphericalPlot3D

Manipulate[ SphericalPlot3D[{1, 2 - n}, {θ, 0, Pi}, {ϕ, 0, 1.5 Pi}, Mesh -> None, PlotPoints -> 15, PlotRange -> {-2.2, 2.2}], {n, 0, 1}] I cant' seem to be able to make a filling between two spheres. I've already tried the obvious Filling -> {1 -> {2}} but Mathematica doesn't seem to like that option. Is there any easy way around this or ... Answer There is no built-in filling in SphericalPlot3D . One option is to use ParametricPlot3D to draw the surfaces between the two shells: Manipulate[ Show[SphericalPlot3D[{1, 2 - n}, {θ, 0, Pi}, {ϕ, 0, 1.5 Pi}, PlotPoints -> 15, PlotRange -> {-2.2, 2.2}], ParametricPlot3D[{ r {Sin[t] Cos[1.5 Pi], Sin[t] Sin[1.5 Pi], Cos[t]}, r {Sin[t] Cos[0 Pi], Sin[t] Sin[0 Pi], Cos[t]}}, {r, 1, 2 - n}, {t, 0, Pi}, PlotStyle -> Yellow, Mesh -> {2, 15}]], {n, 0, 1}]

plotting - Plot 4D data with color as 4th dimension

I have a list of 4D data (x position, y position, amplitude, wavelength). I want to plot x, y, and amplitude on a 3D plot and have the color of the points correspond to the wavelength. I have seen many examples using functions to define color but my wavelength cannot be expressed by an analytic function. Is there a simple way to do this? Answer Here a another possible way to visualize 4D data: data = Flatten[Table[{x, y, x^2 + y^2, Sin[x - y]}, {x, -Pi, Pi,Pi/10}, {y,-Pi,Pi, Pi/10}], 1]; You can use the function Point along with VertexColors . Now the points are places using the first three elements and the color is determined by the fourth. In this case I used Hue, but you can use whatever you prefer. Graphics3D[ Point[data[[All, 1 ;; 3]], VertexColors -> Hue /@ data[[All, 4]]], Axes -> True, BoxRatios -> {1, 1, 1/GoldenRatio}]

plotting - Mathematica: 3D plot based on combined 2D graphs

I have several sigmoidal fits to 3 different datasets, with mean fit predictions plus the 95% confidence limits (not symmetrical around the mean) and the actual data. I would now like to show these different 2D plots projected in 3D as in but then using proper perspective. In the link here they give some solutions to combine the plots using isometric perspective, but I would like to use proper 3 point perspective. Any thoughts? Also any way to show the mean points per time point for each series plus or minus the standard error on the mean would be cool too, either using points+vertical bars, or using spheres plus tubes. Below are some test data and the fit function I am using. Note that I am working on a logit(proportion) scale and that the final vertical scale is Log10(percentage). (* some test data *) data = Table[Null, {i, 4}]; data[[1]] = {{1, -5.8}, {2, -5.4}, {3, -0.8}, {4, -0.2}, {5, 4.6}, {1, -6.4}, {2, -5.6}, {3, -0.7}, {4, 0.04}, {5, 1.0}, {1, -6.8}, {2, -4.7}, {3, -1.
