front end - Listing all celltags in a notebook


Is there a command to obtain all the CellTags and the style of the cell they are in? This question is derived from this question which was answered by jVincent. Based on his answer I want to be able to create a function which takes in a string. Looks for the text "\ ref{String_}" (There should be no space between \ and ref, I'm not sure how to avoid mathjax here, if you know how to please make the proper edits) and uses that information to insert a CounterBox. The problem is that the type of counterboxes I want to insert require two arguments, the first is the style of a cell and the second is the CellTag. So really, this is a two part question:


1) How do you find out all the CellTags available? The obvious answer is by going to Cell > Add/Remove Cell Tags. This only works if you have a cell selected. If you give a cell a cellTag it will appear under "All cellTags in the notebook". So obviously Mathematica keeps a list of all the CellTags available in the notebook. The question is, how do we get this list?


2) Once we found out if this celltag is available, is there a way to obtain the style of the cell in which it is in? For instace, I might create a "DisplayFormulaNumbered" cell, and tag it as "eq1".


So why all of this? The idea is to have some cell with text like this:



From equation ref{eq1} we then ...




Note that I did not include the backlash before ref because I don't know how to avoid mathjax from transforming it at this point. Back to the idea, now using jVincent's code we could create a button that when the cell is selected, it looks for all instances of ref, grabs the input (in this case eq1), looks to see if it is a valid tag, if it isn't then it just issues a warning telling you that there's no valid tag, otherwise it replaces the ref section for the counterbox which as inputs the Cell style in which the tag is contained and the tag.



Answer



First question, try


nb=InputNotebook[];
NotebookTools`NotebookCellTags[nb]

Second question, a start could be


NotebookFind[nb, "lakj", All, CellTags, AutoScroll -> False]; 
Flatten[{NotebookRead[nb]}][[All, 2]]


EDIT, thanks John Fultz


That last line is inefficient and can fail at times. A better alternative is


"Style" /. Developer`CellInformation[nb]

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....
