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

functions - Get leading series expansion term?

Given a function f[x] , I would like to have a function leadingSeries that returns just the leading term in the series around x=0 . For example: leadingSeries[(1/x + 2)/(4 + 1/x^2 + x)] x and leadingSeries[(1/x + 2 + (1 - 1/x^3)/4)/(4 + x)] -(1/(16 x^3)) Is there such a function in Mathematica? Or maybe one can implement it efficiently? EDIT I finally went with the following implementation, based on Carl Woll 's answer: lds[ex_,x_]:=( (ex/.x->(x+O[x]^2))/.SeriesData[U_,Z_,L_List,Mi_,Ma_,De_]:>SeriesData[U,Z,{L[[1]]},Mi,Mi+1,De]//Quiet//Normal) The advantage is, that this one also properly works with functions whose leading term is a constant: lds[Exp[x],x] 1 Answer Update 1 Updated to eliminate SeriesData and to not return additional terms Perhaps you could use: leadingSeries[expr_, x_] := Normal[expr /. x->(x+O[x]^2) /. a_List :> Take[a, 1]] Then for your examples: leadingSeries[(1/x + 2)/(4 + 1/x^2 + x), x] leadingSeries[Exp[x], x] leadingSeries[(1/x + 2 + (1 - 1/x...

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...

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}]
