web access - URLSave in Mathematica 10 and 11 on Linux



It seems that URLSave doesn't work as expected with https links in Mathematica 10.4 on Linux. At least in my case (Fedora 30) for


URLSave["https://codeload.github.com/WolframResearch/\
WolframLanguageForJupyter/zip/master", CreateTemporary[]]

I receive


During evaluation of In[1]:= LibraryFunction::libload: The function curlLink_initialize was not loaded from the file /media/Data/Software/Mathematica/10.4/SystemFiles/Links/CURLLink/LibraryResources/Linux-x86-64/libcurllink.so. >>

Out[1]= $Failed


I don't think that WRI is likely to provide support for such an old version, so I'm asking this question in search for some community workarounds.


EDIT: The source of the problem is that for some reason Mma 10 and 11 are not able to load libcurllink.so via


libPath = 
FileNameJoin[{$InstallationDirectory, "SystemFiles", "Links",
"CURLLink", "LibraryResources", "Linux-x86-64", "libcurllink.so"}];
LibraryFunctionLoad[libPath, "curlLink_initialize", {_Integer}, \
"Void"]

Instead, I obtain



LibraryFunction::libload: The function curlLink_initialize was not loaded from the file /media/Data/Software/Mathematica/10.4/SystemFiles/Links/CURLLink/LibraryResources/Linux-x86-64/libcurllink.so. >>

and


LibraryFunction::libload: The function curlLink_initialize was not loaded from the file /media/Data/Software/Mathematica/11.0/SystemFiles/Links/CURLLink/LibraryResources/Linux-x86-64/libcurllink.so.

respectively.


On Mma 11 the workaround would be to use URLDownload which seems to be independent of libcurl and therefore works as expected. On Mma 10 I'm not aware of a such workaround. JLink would be a possibility, but this assumes that one must have Java installed.

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[ ...

equation solving - Invert and fit implicitly defined curve

I need to fit an implicitly defined curve. I thought I could get some data out of Solve , and then using FindFit . Therefore, I would like to find the relation the parametric curve defined by $F(x,y)=0$: Solve[-(1/2) + 1/2 (0.41202 BesselK[0, 0.1 Sqrt[x^2 + y^2]] + (0.101483 x BesselK[1, 0.1 Sqrt[x^2 + y^2]])/Sqrt[x^2 + y^2]) == 0, y] But I can't get an output: Solve was unable to solve the system with inexact coefficients or the system obtained by direct rationalization of inexact numbers present in the system. Since many of the methods used by Solve require exact input, providing Solve with an exact version of the system may help. >> Edit: In particular, I would like to fit the data coming from the curve with the expression of another curve, and not with a function $f(x)$. In particular, since this clearly looks like a cardioid , I would like it to fit to something like it. What other strategies could I try?

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...
