Answer



By using a cube with rounded corners, from this answer, and by applying the images as "stickers" onto the sides of this cube, the dice can be made to look a little bit more realistic. The black border does not translate well to a 3D visualization, so I hid it by fiddling with the vertex coordinates.

    {{k, k, 0 - eps}, {k, 1 - k, 0 - eps}, {1 - k, 1 - k, 0 - eps}, {1 - k, k, 0 - eps}},
    {{k, 0 - eps, k}, {1 - k, 0 - eps, k}, {1 - k, 0 - eps, 1 - k}, {k, 0 - eps, 1 - k}},
    {{1 + eps, k, k}, {1 + eps, 1 - k, k}, {1 + eps, 1 - k, 1 - k}, {1 + eps, k, 1 - k}},

    {{1 - k, k, 1 + eps}, {1 - k, 1 - k, 1 + eps}, {k, 1 - k, 1 + eps}, {k, k, 1 + eps}}

    }];

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...
