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 - 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[ ...

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...

Is there a way to do conditional matrix loop using 'continue'

I have the following: n = 3; m = 5; ww = RandomReal[{0, 0.1}, {n, n}]; uu = RandomReal[{0, 1}, {m, n}]; pp = RandomReal[{0, 1}, {n, n}]; ss = RandomInteger[{0, 5}, {m, n}]; Grid[{{"ww", "uu", "pp", "ss"}, {ww // TableForm, uu // TableForm, pp // TableForm, ss // TableForm}}, Spacings -> {5, 2}, Dividers -> All] where I would like to look at every element of matrix ss and produce a matrix tt , with zeroes at the locations in ss which have zeroes, and in all other positions do the following: tt = (-1/Subscript[ww, m]) Log[(1 - uu)/(Subscript[pp, m - 1])], where Subscript[ww, m] is the value at index of ww matrix and where Subscript[pp, m - 1] is the value at index-1 of pp matrix. So for example if the first value ever read from matrix ss happens to be 2, then value taken from matrix ww would be from the row 2, but from pp would be from row 1. Also how to tell difference between a 0 as a valid value from within the matrix elemen...
