dynamic - Injecting list of controls into manipulate



I am trying to program a method to manually move around graph vertices, and then output the new coordinates. I'd like to turn this into a function that can be called with a variable number of vertices, but can't figure out how to get manipulate to work, despite looking at a variety of examples, including https://mathematica.stackexchange.com/questions/59826/variable-number-of-controls-in-manipulate.


The code to set up the manipulate parameters and control specifications is:


Clear[vc0, el0, verts0, controls0, gr0];
gr0 = RandomGraph[{10, 21}];
vc0 = VertexCoordinates /. AbsoluteOptions[gr0, VertexCoordinates];
el0 = EdgeList[gr0];
verts0 = Table[makeVar["v", i], {i, 10}]
controls0 = Table[{{makeVar["v", i], vc0[[i]]}, Locator}, {i, 10}]

This gives me a nice list of vertex variables and Locatorspecifications with initial coordinates for the graph:



{v1, v2, v3, v4, v5, v6, v7, v8, v9, v10}

{{{v1, {0.589112, 1.61609}}, Locator}, {{v2, {1.45239, 1.55683}}, Locator},
{{v3, {0.914629, 0.269689}}, Locator}, {{v4, {1.55473, 0.213739}}, Locator},
{{v5, {0., 0.845834}}, Locator}, {{v6, {2.13173, 0.}}, Locator},
{{v7, {2.43365, 1.79731}}, Locator}, {{v8, {1.01283, 0.998538}}, Locator},
{{v9, {2.21884, 0.899871}}, Locator}, {{v10, {1.70324, 1.0327}}, Locator}}

If I cut and paste these into Manipulate the code looks like:


Manipulate[{Graph[el0, EdgeStyle -> LightGray, 

VertexCoordinates -> {v1, v2, v3, v4, v5, v6, v7, v8, v9, v10},
VertexLabels -> "Name", ImageSize -> Large];
coords = Grid[Partition[Flatten[Riffle[Table["v" <> ToString[i], {i, 10}],
VertexCoordinates /. AbsoluteOptions[gr5, VertexCoordinates]]], 3],
Alignment -> Left];
Row[{gr5, coords}]}[[1]],
{{v1, {0.589112, 1.61609}}, Locator}, {{v2, {1.45239, 1.55683}}, Locator},
{{v3, {0.914629, 0.269689}}, Locator}, {{v4, {1.55473, 0.213739}}, Locator},
{{v5, {0., 0.845834}}, Locator}, {{v6, {2.13173, 0.}}, Locator},
{{v7, {2.43365, 1.79731}}, Locator}, {{v8, {1.01283, 0.998538}}, Locator},

{{v9, {2.21884, 0.899871}}, Locator}, {{v10, {1.70324, 1.0327}}, Locator}}]

Coordinate Rearrangement


What I really want is a more general solution which looks like:


Manipulate[{Graph[el0, EdgeStyle -> LightGray, 

(* vertex variables here *)
VertexCoordinates -> pts,

VertexLabels -> "Name", ImageSize -> Large];

coords = Grid[Partition[Flatten[Riffle[Table["v" <> ToString[i], {i, 10}],
VertexCoordinates /. AbsoluteOptions[gr5, VertexCoordinates]]], 3],
Alignment -> Left];
Row[{gr5, coords}]}[[1]],

(* controllers specified here *)
controls0]

I keep getting the error message: Manipulate::vsform: Manipulate argument controls0 does not have the correct form for a variable specification. >>


I have tried HoldAll, Sequence, etc., but cannot seem to figure out how to generate the proper form for the controller specifications.



Apologies for the long post, and thanks in advance!



Answer



It's much simpler


f[g1_Graph] := 
DynamicModule[{pts = PropertyValue[{g1, #}, VertexCoordinates] & /@ VertexList@g1, g2 = g1},
{Dynamic@Column@pts,
LocatorPane[Dynamic[pts], Dynamic[g2 = SetProperty[g2, VertexCoordinates -> pts]]]}]

g = CompleteGraph[5, VertexLabels -> "Name", PlotRange -> {{-5, 5}, {-5, 5}}];
f@g

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....
