dynamic - Button that starts an evaluation which is monitored with a progress indicator


I have a DynamicModule in which I which I wish to start an operation (actually import files) with a button. I would like to monitor the progress with a ProgressIndicator but can't get it to work. This simple example works:


Monitor[

Table[Pause[0.1]; n, {n, 1, 100}],
Dynamic[ProgressIndicator[n, {1, 100}]]
];

I find it interesting that it works even with the final semi-colon. In a DynamicModule this also works:


ClearAll[test];
test[] := DynamicModule[{},
Row[{Monitor[
Table[Pause[0.1]; n, {n, 1, 100}],
Dynamic[ProgressIndicator[n, {1, 100}]]

];}]
]

test[]

Now I try to put in a button to start and I am lost


ClearAll[test1];
test1[] := DynamicModule[{},
Row[{Button["Start", Monitor[
Table[Pause[0.1]; n, {n, 1, 100}],

Dynamic[ProgressIndicator[n, {1, 100}]]
];]}]
]

test1[]

I have tried several alternatives with no success. I would like the progress indicator to appear in the same row as the button once it has been pressed.



Answer



With small modifications of the code provided by m_goldberg you can get the Button and the ProgressIndicator in the same Row. However, it is always there now and will not appear and disappear.


DynamicModule[{n = 1}, 

Row[{Button["Start", n = 1;
Do[Pause[0.1]; ++n, {i, 1, 100}], Method -> "Queued"], Spacer[23],
Dynamic[ProgressIndicator[n, {1, 100}]]}]]

output


In order to get an appearing and disappearing ProgressIndicator you can use


DynamicModule[{n = 0}, 
Row[{Button["Start", n = 1;
Do[Pause[0.1]; ++n, {i, 1, 100}], Method -> "Queued"], Spacer[23],
Dynamic@If[n == 0 || n == 101, "", ProgressIndicator[n, {1, 100}]]}]]

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 - 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 - 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....
