graphics - How to convert an output of a matrix into a PNG image?


Using @m_goldberg's code I have created a matrix with the following command:


MatrixForm[{{n, -1 + n, -2 + n, ⋯, 1}, {2 n, 2 n - 1, 
2 n - 2, ⋯, n + 1}, {3 n, 3 n - 1,
3 n - 2, ⋯,
2 n + 1}, {⋮, ⋮, ⋮, ⋱, ⋮}, {n^2, -1 + n^2, -2 + n^2,⋯,
HoldForm[(n - 1) n + 1]}}, TableAlignments -> {Center, Center}] // TraditionalForm

If I save the output I get a small, low quality PNG picture.


So, is there a way to convert an output to a graph, or enlarge it? So that to get a better and larger picture of a matrix? I would appreciate any hint or suggestion.



Thank you very much.



Answer



An alternative that produces a sharp image is


m = {{n, -1 + n, -2 + n, ⋯, 1}, 
{2 n, 2 n - 1, 2 n - 2, ⋯, n + 1},
{3 n, 3 n - 1, 3 n - 2, ⋯, 2 n + 1},
{⋮, ⋮, ⋮, ⋱, ⋮},
{n^2, -1 + n^2, -2 + n^2, ⋯, HoldForm[(n - 1) n + 1]}};
Rasterize@Style[MatrixForm[m, TableAlignments -> {Center, Center}] // TraditionalForm), 30]


enter image description here


Then, right-click the image, choose "Save Graphic As...", and store the image in the desired format.


Addendum


In response to the OP's comment below, columns can be given different colors by


clr = {Red, Orange, Green, Blue, Magenta};
Rasterize@Style[MatrixForm[MapIndexed[Style[#1, clr[[Last@#2]]] &, m, {2}],
TableAlignments -> {Center, Center}] // TraditionalForm, 30]

enter image description here


Replace Last by First to give rows different colors instead. Also, as noted by george2079 in another comment below, the font can be set by replacing 30 by, for instance, {FontFamily -> Times, 30}.

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-...

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[ ...
