interpolation - FunctionInterpolation over an open interval

I'm trying to obtain an arc-length parametrization of a spline curve as per https://mathematica.stackexchange.com/a/8456. To do so, I need to calculate partial derivatives of such curve and then perform a FunctionInterpolation. The spline curve is continuous over its whole domain, but not differentiable at its knots (left-side derivatives are different from the right-side ones). Therefore, I'd need to create several FunctionInterpolations, each defined on an open interval between two consecutive knots.

Is that possible? And if so, how? If not, how can I overcome this limitation?

Here is the actual data I'm working on: curve = BSplineCurve[{{198.2063059205538,402.121623269958},{191.2621031932776,243.2810494404048},{350.2070352491573,246.3653323645185},{307.7702781407043,406.7480444184375},{624.1169877141547,382.0737810255268},{367.1817351705904,154.607913753287},{408.0753377407309,28.15231386462074},{192.0336877673071,89.837972346897}}, SplineDegree -> 3, SplineKnots -> {0,0,0,0,1.,2.,3.,4.,5,5,5,5}, SplineWeights -> {1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1}];

cp = curve[[1]];

dg = curve[[2]] // Values;
kn = curve[[3]] // Values;
wg = curve[[4]] // Values;

x[t_]:=Total[Table[BSplineBasis[{dg,kn},j,t],{j,0,Length[kn]-dg-2}]*wg*cp[[All,1]]]/Table[BSplineBasis[{dg,kn},j,t],{j,0,Length[kn]-dg-2}].wg;
y[t_]:=Total[Table[BSplineBasis[{dg,kn},j,t],{j,0,Length[kn]-dg-2}]*wg*cp[[All,2]]]/Table[BSplineBasis[{dg,kn},j,t],{j,0,Length[kn]-dg-2}].wg;
f[t_]:=Sqrt[(x'[t])^2+(y'[t])^2];

You can see that the interpolating function has spikes (that I'm trying to avoid) at the knot values:

FunctionInterpolation[f[t],{t,Min[kn],Max[kn]}]//Plot[#[g]-f[g],{g,Min[kn],Max[kn]},PlotRange->Full]&

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-...

dynamic - How can I make a clickable ArrayPlot that returns input?

I would like to create a dynamic ArrayPlot so that the rectangles, when clicked, provide the input. Can I use ArrayPlot for this? Or is there something else I should have to use? Answer ArrayPlot is much more than just a simple array like Grid : it represents a ranged 2D dataset, and its visualization can be finetuned by options like DataReversed and DataRange . These features make it quite complicated to reproduce the same layout and order with Grid . Here I offer AnnotatedArrayPlot which comes in handy when your dataset is more than just a flat 2D array. The dynamic interface allows highlighting individual cells and possibly interacting with them. AnnotatedArrayPlot works the same way as ArrayPlot and accepts the same options plus Enabled , HighlightCoordinates , HighlightStyle and HighlightElementFunction . data = {{Missing["HasSomeMoreData"], GrayLevel[ 1], {RGBColor[0, 1, 1], RGBColor[0, 0, 1], GrayLevel[1]}, RGBColor[0, 1, 0]}, {GrayLevel[0], GrayLevel...
