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 Locator
specifications 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}}]
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
