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). :)

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.
