front end - How can I overload autocompletion to work with full contexts?


I would like for the autocomplete feature to search through contexts, for example if I have a symbol named A`B`C`MyFunction, when I type A` and press "cmd + shift + k" it will complete it.


Edit


To be clear, I don't want to have to type the path because it's usually very long, and I don't want to have to type the function name again, even if the path itself gets auto completed. I want the following:


If I have these functions:



Very`Long`Context`For`My`Function1
Very`Long`Context`For`My`Function2
...

I want to be able to type Very` and then press CMD+Shift+k, to get a dropdown menu saying exactly


Very`Long`Context`For`My`Function1
Very`Long`Context`For`My`Function2
...

Answer





This is obsolete in Mathematica 9, which automatically includes contexts in completions.


Undocumented function: use at your own risk, subject to change in future versions, etc....





The function you're interested in is FE`FC.


It's been around for a while (here's a Mathematica Journal article that references it, near the end) although it has changed argument structure at least once that I'm aware of.


Anyway, here's the code I currently use to a similar end as what Mike would like. (Most of this is boilerplate from the original definition; the main difference is the use of a new function FE`names.)


(* Nice little hack to have command completion (cmd-k) include contexts *)
Unprotect[FE`FC];
ClearAll[FE`FC]


FE`FC[FE`nameString_, FE`ignoreCase_:False] /; $Notebooks:=
MathLink`CallFrontEnd[FrontEnd`CompletionsListPacket[
FE`names[FE`nameString<>"*"], FE`ignoreCase],
FE`NoResult]

FE`names[FE`str_, FE`ignoreCase_:False] :=
Join[FE`shortContexts[FE`str], Names[FE`str, IgnoreCase -> FE`ignoreCase]];

FE`shortContexts[FE`patt_]:=

With[{FE`brettclen = Length[StringSplit[FE`patt, "`"]]},
Union[StringJoin[
Riffle[Take[#, Min[FE`brettclen, Length[#]]], "`", {2, -1, 2}]] & /@
StringSplit[Contexts[FE`patt], "`"]]
]

Protect[FE`FC];

The end result is that when I use command completion, I get contexts that match in addition to symbols. This isn't quite the same as Mike's request, since it gives the contexts one at a time:

since otherwise the list can get a bit overwhelming. For example, if you typed Int and then tried to complete to IntegerPart, there's a factor of ten difference:


In[5]:= {Length[Names["Int*"]] + Length[Contexts["Int*"]], 
Length[Names["Int*`*"]]}

Out[5]= {41, 419}

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[ ...

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...

Is there a way to do conditional matrix loop using 'continue'

I have the following: n = 3; m = 5; ww = RandomReal[{0, 0.1}, {n, n}]; uu = RandomReal[{0, 1}, {m, n}]; pp = RandomReal[{0, 1}, {n, n}]; ss = RandomInteger[{0, 5}, {m, n}]; Grid[{{"ww", "uu", "pp", "ss"}, {ww // TableForm, uu // TableForm, pp // TableForm, ss // TableForm}}, Spacings -> {5, 2}, Dividers -> All] where I would like to look at every element of matrix ss and produce a matrix tt , with zeroes at the locations in ss which have zeroes, and in all other positions do the following: tt = (-1/Subscript[ww, m]) Log[(1 - uu)/(Subscript[pp, m - 1])], where Subscript[ww, m] is the value at index of ww matrix and where Subscript[pp, m - 1] is the value at index-1 of pp matrix. So for example if the first value ever read from matrix ss happens to be 2, then value taken from matrix ww would be from the row 2, but from pp would be from row 1. Also how to tell difference between a 0 as a valid value from within the matrix elemen...
