front end - TraditionalForm-like typesetting in Jupyter notebook


One of the nice thing about running Mathematica codes in the front-end, is that one can attach custom typesetting rules to the user-defined symbols. Then, setting the format type of new output cells to TraditionalForm provides you with a nice output similar to what one sees in papers and textbooks.


Suppose that someone wants to use my package (that comes with extensive typesetting rules) with the free Wolfram Engine, where the front-end is a Jupyter notebook. As far as I can see, no typesetting is displayed by default.


As a minimal working example, consider the following code.


cf /: MakeBoxes[cf[i_], TraditionalForm] := SubscriptBox["c", i];

SMP /: MakeBoxes[SMP["g_W"], TraditionalForm] := 
  SubscriptBox["g", "W"];
MakeBoxes[myvec[x_], TraditionalForm] := 
  TemplateBox[{OverscriptBox[ToBoxes[x], "\[RightArrow]"]}, "Abs"];
MakeBoxes[Power[myvec[x_], n_], TraditionalForm] := 
  SuperscriptBox[
    TemplateBox[{OverscriptBox[ToBoxes[x], "\[RightArrow]"]}, "Abs"], 
    ToBoxes[n]] /; OddQ[n];
MakeBoxes[Power[myvec[x_], n_], TraditionalForm] := 
  SuperscriptBox[OverscriptBox[ToBoxes[x], "\[RightArrow]"], 

    ToBoxes[n]] /; EvenQ[n];

In Mathematica, for


SMP["g_W"] (cf[1] myvec[v] + cf[2] myvec[v]^2 + cf[3] myvec[v]^3)

I get the expected typesetted output, but in Jupyter this is not the case.


Mathematica output Jupyter output


Is there something that can be tweaked in the notebook configuration or in the package source code, to get the typesetting working?



Answer



I'd just use StandardForm because the loop WE-Jupyter is tricky to hook to.



I guess this solution won't work once WLforJupyter is out of beta stage but anyway:


toOut = toOutImage @* TraditionalForm;
toOut /: (toOut = _) := Null;

It is not a joke :)


enter image description here


Explanation


toOut and toOutImage are symbols that are originally defined within the loop that handles communication between the Kernel and Jupyter notebook. Kernel sends evaluated response but Jupyter does not understand MMA Box language so it needs to be something else. Currently it is implemented that it is either a plain text, an image or an embedded iFrame with contents deployed to cloud.


WLforJupyter loop makes a choice that it should be e.g. an image and does toOut = toOutImage @ evaluationResults


So the trick is to set toOut (1st line) and prevent it from being reset (2nd line). :)

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...
