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

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...
