graphics - Screwy use of Labeled in BarChart -- possible bug



SetOptions[BarChart, LabelStyle -> {}];
Options[BarChart, LabelStyle]

When I evaluate this code


BarChart[Labeled[#, Rotate["label", 90 Degree], Above, 
LabelStyle -> Directive[Red, FontSize -> 32]] & /@ Range[8]]

with V11.0.1 on OS X I get


enter image description here


When I examine the InputForm the labels are coded like this:



Text[Style[
Rotate["label",
90*Degree], {LabelStyle ->
Directive[RGBColor[1, 0, 0], FontSize -> 32], Directive[],
Directive[]}], Offset[{0, 4}, {1., 1.}], ImageScaled[{0.5, 0}]]

So we have the LabelStyle for Labeled plus duplicates of the global LabelStyle for BarChart.


SetOptions[BarChart, 
LabelStyle -> Directive[RGBColor[1, 0, 0], FontSize -> 12]];


Now I get:


enter image description here


with the labels configured this way:


Text[Style[
Rotate["label",
90*Degree], {BaseStyle ->
Directive[RGBColor[1, 0, 0], FontSize -> 24],
LabelStyle -> Directive[RGBColor[1, 0, 0], FontSize -> 32],
Directive[RGBColor[1, 0, 0], FontSize -> 12],
Directive[RGBColor[1, 0, 0], FontSize -> 12]}],

Offset[{0, 4}, {1., 1.}], ImageScaled[{0.5, 0}]]

which confirms the duplicate of the BarChart LabelStyle Directive. The configuration of the styling options for these labels looks to be a mess. I'm assuming that being unable to locally style the label use the Labeled LabelStyle option is a bug?


And when I try this:


SetOptions[BarChart, LabelStyle -> {}];
BarChart[Labeled[
Style[#, Directive[FontColor -> Red, FontSize -> 32]],
Rotate["label", 90 Degree], Above] & /@ Range[8]]

I get this:



enter image description here


 Text[Style[Rotate["label", 90*Degree], {Directive[], Directive[]}], Offset[{0, 4}, {5., 5.}], ImageScaled[{0.5, 0}]]

Note also that modifying the LabeledLabel style in my stylesheet also had no effect.


This appears to be either a bug or a design oversight. Does anyone have any thoughts?



Answer



This looks like a bug. I'll seek confirmation from WRI and post accordingly. In the meantime Carl's suggestion is a work around:


BarChart[Labeled[#, Rotate["label", 90 Degree], Above, Directive[Red, FontSize 
-> 32]] & /@ Range[8]]


or alternatively from @kglr:


BarChart[Labeled[#, Style[Rotate["label", 90 Degree], Red, 32], Above] & /@ Range[8]]

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-...

mathematical optimization - Minimizing using indices, error: Part::pkspec1: The expression cannot be used as a part specification

I want to use Minimize where the variables to minimize are indices pointing into an array. Here a MWE that hopefully shows what my problem is. vars = u@# & /@ Range[3]; cons = Flatten@ { Table[(u[j] != #) & /@ vars[[j + 1 ;; -1]], {j, 1, 3 - 1}], 1 vec1 = {1, 2, 3}; vec2 = {1, 2, 3}; Minimize[{Total@((vec1[[#]] - vec2[[u[#]]])^2 & /@ Range[1, 3]), cons}, vars, Integers] The error I get: Part::pkspec1: The expression u[1] cannot be used as a part specification. >> Answer Ok, it seems that one can get around Mathematica trying to evaluate vec2[[u[1]]] too early by using the function Indexed[vec2,u[1]] . The working MWE would then look like the following: vars = u@# & /@ Range[3]; cons = Flatten@{ Table[(u[j] != #) & /@ vars[[j + 1 ;; -1]], {j, 1, 3 - 1}], 1 vec1 = {1, 2, 3}; vec2 = {1, 2, 3}; NMinimize[ {Total@((vec1[[#]] - Indexed[vec2, u[#]])^2 & /@ R...
