output formatting - How to build a function object like the built-ins such as Interpolation?


There are many built-in functions that return a function object, such as Interpolation[], BSplineFunction[] ,LinearSolveFunction[] and so on.

Now given that I want to build a function called CAGDBSplineFunction[] like the built-in BSplineFunction[] with the help of Cox-DeBoor algorithm.


First trial, please see here


To achieve the dynamic effect and check the validity of the option like the built-in BSplineFunction


enter image description here


I refactored it as below:



CAGDBSplineFunction::invknots = 
  "Value of option SplineKnots \[Rule] `1` should be a non-decreasing \
   real sequence of length `2`, or a symbol Automatic.";

Options[CAGDBSplineFunction] = 
  {SplineDegree -> Automatic, SplineKnots -> Automatic};

CAGDBSplineFunction /: 
 MakeBoxes[CAGDBSplineFunction[pts_, opts : OptionsPattern[]], _] := 
 Module[{n, sk, sd, range},

  n = Length@pts - 1;
  sk = OptionValue[SplineKnots];
  sd = OptionValue[SplineDegree];
  (*check the validity of the option SplineKnots*)
  If[sk =!= Automatic,
   If[n + 1 + sd != Length[sk] - 1, 
    Message[CAGDBSplineFunction::invknots, sk, n + 2 + sd];
    Return[$Failed]];
    range = Through[{First, Last}@sk],
   range = {0, 1}

  ]
 ]
 InterpretationBox[
   RowBox[{"CAGDBSplineFunction", "[", "{", #1, ",", #2, "}", ",", 
   "\"<>\"", "]"}], CAGDBSplineFunction[pts, opts]] & @@ range
]

TEST


pts = {{0, 0}, {1, 1}, {2, -1}, {3, 0}, {4, -2}, {5, 1}};
f = CAGDBSplineFunction[pts]


enter image description here


However, it seems that the option value cannot be achieved in a MakeBoxes construct.


J.M. gives me the following suggestion:



Don't try to do both display and processing at once. Set a definition for evaluating CAGDBSplineFunction[], and then set a definition for displaying, via MakeBoxes



According to the J.M.'s hint, I add the defintion to CAGDBSplineFunction[]


CAGDBSplineFunction /: 
 MakeBoxes[CAGDBSplineFunction[pts_, opts : OptionsPattern[]], _] := 

  InterpretationBox[
    RowBox[{"CAGDBSplineFunction", "[", "{", #1, ",", #2, "}", ",", 
  "\"<>\"", "]"}], CAGDBSplineFunction[pts, opts]] & @@ 
    CAGDBSplineFunction[pts, opts]

CAGDBSplineFunction[pts_, opts : OptionsPattern[]] :=
 Module[
  {n, sk, sd, range},
  n = Length@pts - 1;
  sk = OptionValue[SplineKnots];

  sd = OptionValue[SplineDegree] /. Automatic -> 3;
  (*check the validity of the option SplineKnots*)
  If[sk =!= Automatic,
   If[n + 1 + sd != Length[sk] - 1, 
    Message[CAGDBSplineFunction::invknots, sk, n + 2 + sd];
    Return[$Failed]];
    range = Through[{First, Last}@sk],
   range = {0, 1}
  ]
 ]

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-...

mathematical optimization - Minimizing using indices, error: Part::pkspec1: The expression cannot be used as a part specification

I want to use Minimize where the variables to minimize are indices pointing into an array. Here a MWE that hopefully shows what my problem is. vars = u@# & /@ Range[3]; cons = Flatten@ { Table[(u[j] != #) & /@ vars[[j + 1 ;; -1]], {j, 1, 3 - 1}], 1 vec1 = {1, 2, 3}; vec2 = {1, 2, 3}; Minimize[{Total@((vec1[[#]] - vec2[[u[#]]])^2 & /@ Range[1, 3]), cons}, vars, Integers] The error I get: Part::pkspec1: The expression u[1] cannot be used as a part specification. >> Answer Ok, it seems that one can get around Mathematica trying to evaluate vec2[[u[1]]] too early by using the function Indexed[vec2,u[1]] . The working MWE would then look like the following: vars = u@# & /@ Range[3]; cons = Flatten@{ Table[(u[j] != #) & /@ vars[[j + 1 ;; -1]], {j, 1, 3 - 1}], 1 vec1 = {1, 2, 3}; vec2 = {1, 2, 3}; NMinimize[ {Total@((vec1[[#]] - Indexed[vec2, u[#]])^2 & /@ R...
