output formatting - Is it possible to show Tooltips in a ListPicker menu?



Is it possible to show Tooltips in a ListPicker menu?


This effect is possible using TabView, but I would much prefer using ListPicker.


Below is a simplified version of my code.


ItemList =
  {"Apples",
   "Oranges",
   "Bananas",
   "Watermelon"};
ReviewsList =
  {"10 Reviews",

   "7 Reviews",
   "16 Reviews",
   "12 Reviews"};
TooltipList =
  {"5 Positive, 3 Neutral, 2 Negative",
   "4 Positive, 1 Neutral, 2 Negative",
   "10 Positive, 2 Neutral, 4 Negative",
   "6 Positive, 3 Neutral, 3 Negative"};
CombinedList = Table[Column[
    {Style[ItemList[[i]], FontColor -> Purple, 

      FontFamily -> "Verdana", FontSize -> 12, FontWeight -> Bold],
     Tooltip[
      Style[ReviewsList[[i]], FontFamily -> "Verdana", 
       FontSize -> 12], TooltipList[[i]]]}
    ], {i, 1, 4}];

(* Column *)
Column[CombinedList]

(* TabView *)

TabView[Table[CombinedList[[i]] -> 1, {i, 1, 4}], Dynamic[x], 
 ControlPlacement -> Left]

(* ListPicker *)
ListPicker[Dynamic[x], CombinedList]

EDIT


As rasher observes my answer does not answer your direct question. Tooltip wrapper does not appear to work for ListPicker items. I posted this answer in the event it achieves your aim or motivates your own answer. I am not certain what your ultimate aim is.


I have modified your code (esp. avoid uppercase variable names to avoid conflicts with in-bulit functions):


itemList = {"Apples", "Oranges", "Bananas", "Watermelon"};

reviewsList = {"10 Reviews", "7 Reviews", "16 Reviews", "12 Reviews"};
tooltipList = {"5 Positive, 3 Neutral, 2 Negative", 
   "4 Positive, 1 Neutral, 2 Negative", 
   "10 Positive, 2 Neutral, 4 Negative", 
   "6 Positive, 3 Neutral, 3 Negative"};
combinedList = 
 Table[Tooltip[reviewsList[[i]], tooltipList[[i]], 
    BaseStyle -> {FontFamily -> "Verdana", FontSize -> 12}, 
    TooltipStyle -> Directive[24, Background -> LightRed]] -> 
   itemList[[i]], {i, 1, 4}]


Then using list picker:


Row[{ListPicker[Dynamic[x], combinedList, 
   BaseStyle -> {FontColor -> Purple, FontFamily -> "Verdana", 
     FontSize -> 12, FontWeight -> Bold}], "  ", Dynamic@First@x}, 
 Frame -> True]

yields:

Other answers may address the tooltips in dynamic interactive itemized lists.

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-...

How to thread a list

I have data in format data = {{a1, a2}, {b1, b2}, {c1, c2}, {d1, d2}} Tableform: I want to thread it to : tdata = {{{a1, b1}, {a2, b2}}, {{a1, c1}, {a2, c2}}, {{a1, d1}, {a2, d2}}} Tableform: And I would like to do better then pseudofunction[n_] := Transpose[{data2[[1]], data2[[n]]}]; SetAttributes[pseudofunction, Listable]; Range[2, 4] // pseudofunction Here is my benchmark data, where data3 is normal sample of real data. data3 = Drop[ExcelWorkBook[[Column1 ;; Column4]], None, 1]; data2 = {a #, b #, c #, d #} & /@ Range[1, 10^5]; data = RandomReal[{0, 1}, {10^6, 4}]; Here is my benchmark code kptnw[list_] := Transpose[{Table[First@#, {Length@# - 1}], Rest@#}, {3, 1, 2}] &@list kptnw2[list_] := Transpose[{ConstantArray[First@#, Length@# - 1], Rest@#}, {3, 1, 2}] &@list OleksandrR[list_] := Flatten[Outer[List, List@First[list], Rest[list], 1], {{2}, {1, 4}}] paradox2[list_] := Partition[Riffle[list[[1]], #], 2] & /@ Drop[list, 1] RM[list_] := FoldList[Transpose[{First@li...

plotting - How to draw lines between specified dots on ListPlot?

I would like to create a plot where I have unconnected dots and some connected. So far, I have figured out how to draw the dots. My code is the following: ListPlot[{{1, 1}, {2, 2}, {3, 3}, {4, 4}, {1, 4}, {2, 5}, {3, 6}, {4, 7}, {1, 7}, {2, 8}, {3, 9}, {4, 10}, {1, 10}, {2, 11}, {3, 12}, {4,13}, {2.5, 7}}, Ticks -> {{1, 2, 3, 4}, None}, AxesStyle -> Thin, TicksStyle -> Directive[Black, Bold, 12], Mesh -> Full] I have thought using ListLinePlot command, but I don't know how to specify to the command to draw only selected lines between the dots. Do have any suggestions/hints on how to do that? Thank you. Answer One possibility would be to use Epilog with Line : ListPlot[ {{1, 1}, {2, 2}, {3, 3}, {4, 4}, {1, 4}, {2, 5}, {3, 6}, {4, 7}, {1, 7}, {2, 8}, {3, 9}, {4, 10}, {1, 10}, {2, 11}, {3, 12}, {4, 13}, {2.5, 7}}, Ticks -> {{1, 2, 3, 4}, None}, AxesStyle -> Thin, TicksStyle -> Directive[Black, Bold, 12], Mesh -> Full, Epilog -> { Line[ ...
