manipulate - Assign Locator points to a specific plot


Result on the left is not what I intended to do: it has two sets of Locator points. Trying to determine why two sets of Locator points are appearing. I only intended to have one set.



Result on the right is what I am trying to do: it has one set of Locator points.


Suspect that I am making some fundamental mistake or misunderstanding something. Could someone point out why the results are different? Also, what is an appropriate way to implement this?


Undesired result: Locator points appear twice Desired result: Locator points appear only once


Below is the code for the result on the left. Switch the comments to produce the result on the right. Note these results are for Version 11.0.1.0 Similar, though not always identical, results are obtained for version 10.


Manipulate[
ptsExtended = Prepend[Append[Sort[ptsAll], {1.5, 1}], {-2, 0}] ;
fpts = Interpolation[ptsExtended, InterpolationOrder -> 1];
dfpts = Derivative[1][fpts];
plotf = Plot[fpts[x], {x, 0, 1}, PlotRange -> {{-0.1, 1.1}, {-0.1, 1.1} },
PlotLabel -> Style["f(x)", Bold, 12]];

plotdf = Plot[dfpts[x], {x, 0, 1}, PlotRange -> {{-0.1, 1.1}, {-2, 4}},
PlotLabel -> Style["df(x)", Bold, 12]];
plotSin = Plot[Sin[x], {x, 0, 6}];
Grid[{{LocatorPane[ptsAll, plotf]}, {plotdf}}](*locator points appear on both plots*)
(*Grid[{{plotSin},{LocatorPane[ptsAll, plotf]}}]*)(*this works as expected*)
,
(*list of controls*)
{{ptsAll, initPtsAll}, ControlType -> Locator, LocatorAutoCreate -> True}
(*other details*)
, TrackedSymbols :> {ptsAll}

, Initialization :> (
initPtsAll = {{0, 0}, {0.25, 0.25}, {0.5, 0.6}, {0.75, 0.85}, {1,1} };
)
, SynchronousUpdating -> False
]

Finally, this is a simple example of a larger code that I am writing. In the larger code, the Locator points also appear in unexpected (to me) plots.



Answer



So even though I provided a way in the comments to do this with Manipulate, I think this is a case where it's better just to go to DynamicModule. Here's an example of how you could do this:


DynamicModule[{

ptsExtended, fpts, dfpts,
plotf, plotdf, plotSin,
ptsAll,
initPtsAll = {{0, 0}, {0.25, 0.25}, {0.5, 0.6}, {0.75, 0.85}, {1,
1}},
genPlots},
genPlots[] :=
CompoundExpression[
ptsExtended =
Prepend[Append[Sort[ptsAll], {1.5, 1}], {-2, 0}],

fpts =
Interpolation[ptsExtended, InterpolationOrder -> 1],
dfpts =
Derivative[1][fpts],
plotf =
Plot[fpts[x], {x, 0, 1}, PlotRange -> {{-0.1, 1.1}, {-0.1, 1.1}},
PlotLabel -> Style["f(x)", Bold, 12]],
plotdf =
Plot[dfpts[x], {x, 0, 1}, PlotRange -> {{-0.1, 1.1}, {-2, 4}},
PlotLabel -> Style["df(x)", Bold, 12]]

];
ptsAll = initPtsAll;
genPlots[];
Panel[
Panel[
Grid[{
{(*Dynamic[ptsExtended,UpdateInterval\[Rule].05,
TrackedSymbols\[RuleDelayed]{}]*)},
{LocatorPane[Dynamic[ptsAll,
ptsAll = #; genPlots[]; &],

Dynamic@plotf]},
{Dynamic@plotdf}
}],
Background -> White
],
FrameMargins -> 15,
Appearance ->
FrontEndResource["FEExpressions",
"MoreLeftSetterPressedNinePatchAppearance"]
],

Initialization :> (
initPtsAll = {{0, 0}, {0.25, 0.25}, {0.5, 0.6}, {0.75, 0.85}, {1,
1}}
),
SynchronousUpdating -> False
]

I think this will exhibit the behavior you desired.

front end - keyboard shortcut to invoke Insert new matrix

I frequently need to type in some matrices, and the menu command Insert > Table/Matrix > New... allows matrices with lines drawn between columns and rows, which is very helpful. I would like to make a keyboard shortcut for it, but cannot find the relevant frontend token command (4209405) for it. Since the FullForm[] and InputForm[] of matrices with lines drawn between rows and columns is the same as those without lines, it's hard to do this via 3rd party system-wide text expanders (e.g. autohotkey or atext on mac). How does one assign a keyboard shortcut for the menu item Insert > Table/Matrix > New... , preferably using only mathematica? Thanks! Answer In the MenuSetup.tr (for linux located in the $InstallationDirectory/SystemFiles/FrontEnd/TextResources/X/ directory), I changed the line MenuItem["&New...", "CreateGridBoxDialog"] to read MenuItem["&New...", "CreateGridBoxDialog", MenuKey["m", Modifiers-...

mathematical optimization - Minimizing using indices, error: Part::pkspec1: The expression cannot be used as a part specification

I want to use Minimize where the variables to minimize are indices pointing into an array. Here a MWE that hopefully shows what my problem is. vars = u@# & /@ Range[3]; cons = Flatten@ { Table[(u[j] != #) & /@ vars[[j + 1 ;; -1]], {j, 1, 3 - 1}], 1 vec1 = {1, 2, 3}; vec2 = {1, 2, 3}; Minimize[{Total@((vec1[[#]] - vec2[[u[#]]])^2 & /@ Range[1, 3]), cons}, vars, Integers] The error I get: Part::pkspec1: The expression u[1] cannot be used as a part specification. >> Answer Ok, it seems that one can get around Mathematica trying to evaluate vec2[[u[1]]] too early by using the function Indexed[vec2,u[1]] . The working MWE would then look like the following: vars = u@# & /@ Range[3]; cons = Flatten@{ Table[(u[j] != #) & /@ vars[[j + 1 ;; -1]], {j, 1, 3 - 1}], 1 vec1 = {1, 2, 3}; vec2 = {1, 2, 3}; NMinimize[ {Total@((vec1[[#]] - Indexed[vec2, u[#]])^2 & /@ R...
