front end - Questions about InlineCell vs InlineFormula vs DisplayFormula cells


I'm having trouble with typesetting, and can't get these questions straight in my head.





  1. What is the difference between "InlineCell" and "InlineFormula" style?




  2. Is one a subset of the other?




  3. In what situations should I use each?





  4. And why is InlineCell important enough to have default shortcut (Ctrl + 9) but InlineFormula is not?




  5. Does "InlineFormula" have anything to do with an "DisplayFormula" cell?





Answer



I don't have much experience with writting books or articles in Mathematica so let me just add technicall notes. For use cases I'd search around using those styles as keywords:

Ctrl+9 starts an Inline cell which is not the same thing as an "InlineCell". But one step at a time.


So an Inline cell is special as it is a cell inside a cell (notice that you can't just create it between cells with Crtl+9). And now an "InlineCell" is a style that is used for that area automatically after it is created. (more info in Order/Dependency of Styles in a Stylesheet by John Fultz)


Notice also that "InlineCell" style is not even explicitly present in Cell[] expression whereas for custom setting e.g. DefaultNewInlineCellStyle -> {"InlineFormula"}, the "InlineFormula" will be there. So the former style is really a core stuff.


1; 2; 3


As you can see from definition in Core.nb it is not so much about styling but about behavior/experience:


Cell[StyleData["InlineCell"],
 ShowCodeAssist->False,
 CodeAssistOptions->{"DynamicHighlighting"->False},
 TextAlignment->Left,

 TranslationOptions->{"Enabled"->False},
 LanguageCategory->"Formula",
 ScriptLevel->1,
 StyleMenuListing->None
]

so is the case with "InlineFormula" (from Default.nb):


Cell[StyleData["InlineFormula"],
 StripStyleOnPaste->True,
 HyphenationOptions->{"HyphenationCharacter"->"\[Continuation]"},

 LanguageCategory->"Formula",
 ScriptLevel->1,
 SingleLetterItalics->True,
 MenuSortingValue->1650,
 FontSize->Inherited 1.05
]

but here that SingleLetterItalics and enlarged FontSize suggest it is meant for... formulas, in mathematical sense probably.


So you can compare those options and set DefaultNewInlineCellStyle whatever you like. You can set also other styles or modify those, whatever fit your needs.

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...
