output formatting - Constructing a list that includes a leading zero (01,02,03 ... 55, 56, etc.)



I am constructing a list for use in file operations. Say I want to create list which contains values from 01 to 87. The kicker is that the first nine integers need to keep a value of 01, 02, 03, 04, 05, 06, 07, 08, 09, 10, 11.. etc.


So if I create list=Range[87] I generate a list of integers. Whenever I'm trying to then replace values with '01', etc. they become strings. If they are integers, they revert back to the single value. Ideally, I need a list that I can feed through Do[].


Is there a quick way to create a list that uses the two digit form the whole time?


FWIW, the specific application of this that I have a list of files i.e. {1997-01-page100.jpeg, 1997-01-page101,jpeg, <<33 379>>, 1997-87-page9.jpeg, 1997-87-page10,jpeg}. I'm using the following command to generate specific lists of the sub-file using importlist=FileNames["1997-"<>ToString[x]<>"-*.jpeg"] but am being thrown off by the zero in front of the single-digit file number.

I always use IntegerString for this (I also number my files in a similar way):


In[1]:= IntegerString[#, 10, 2] & /@ Range[87]

Out[1]= {"01", "02", "03", "04", "05", "06", "07", "08", "09", "10", \
"11", "12", "13", "14", "15", "16", "17", "18", "19", "20", "21", \

"22", "23", "24", "25", "26", "27", "28", "29", "30", "31", "32", \
"33", "34", "35", "36", "37", "38", "39", "40", "41", "42", "43", \
"44", "45", "46", "47", "48", "49", "50", "51", "52", "53", "54", \
"55", "56", "57", "58", "59", "60", "61", "62", "63", "64", "65", \
"66", "67", "68", "69", "70", "71", "72", "73", "74", "75", "76", \
"77", "78", "79", "80", "81", "82", "83", "84", "85", "86", "87"}

I think this is the most convenient solution, as it's built-in and doesn't require any additional effort to get it working.

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...
