free wolfram engine - WolframEngine install + wolframclient for Python on Ubuntu



I downloaded the latest Wolfram Engine for Developers 12.0 (Linux).


I installed it in a non-default location: /opt/Wolfram/WolframEngine/12.0/ ran wolframscript, everything worked.


Then I installed the Python client, wolframclient. I followed this example (https://reference.wolfram.com/language/WolframClientForPython/): The default session = WolframLanguageSession() gave the following exception:


>>> from wolframclient.evaluation import WolframLanguageSession
>>> from wolframclient.language import wl, wlexpr
>>> session = WolframLanguageSession()
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "", line 1, in 
  File "/usr/local/lib/python3.6/dist-packages/wolframclient/evaluation/kernel/localsession.py", line 121, in __init__
    **kwargs)

  File "/usr/local/lib/python3.6/dist-packages/wolframclient/evaluation/kernel/kernelcontroller.py", line 132, in __init__
    'Invalid kernel value. Expecting a filepath as a string.')
ValueError: Invalid kernel value. Expecting a filepath as a string.

I tried various paths for the kernel paramter, but which path? So I assumed it was because I installed it in /opt instead of /usr/local. So then I deleted /opt/Wolfram (but I forgot to delete /usr/bin/wolframscript (symbolic link)). Then I re-installed Wolfram Engine. This time the installer didn't create the WolframScript directory. The symbolic link was pointing to it before.


However I do get these executables, that when I run wolfram looks like it could have been the target of the wolframscript symbolic link.


lcordier@tardis:/usr/local/Wolfram/WolframEngine/12.0/Executables$ ls -g
total 44
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root 5085 May 25 02:44 math
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root 5085 May 25 02:44 MathKernel

-rwxr-xr-x 1 root 2024 May 25 02:44 mcc
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root 5085 May 25 02:44 wolfram
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root 5085 May 25 02:44 WolframKernel
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root 3530 May 25 02:44 wolframplayer
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root 3530 May 25 02:44 WolframPlayer

So I tried the pythonclient example again, with the same ValueError: Invalid kernel value. exception.


So as a final step, I re-installed Wolfram Engine, this time leaving the existing directories in place. The installer correctly figured out that there were directories to be overwritten and prompted me as such. But it still didn't create the WolframScript directory or made to worlramscript symbolic link. And the Python example still doesn't work. I am having no joy ;)

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...

list manipulation - Selecting multiple columns from a matrix?

Sample data: data = { {{2013, 1, 1}, 24.13, 167.67, 231.82}, {{2013, 1, 2}, 32.15, 170.92, 225.99}, {{2013, 1, 3}, 35.43, 172.68, 221.67}, {{2013, 1, 4}, 36.73, 173.05, 218.32}, {{2013, 1, 5}, 58.19, 165.96, 197.05}, {{2013, 1, 6}, 69.99, 163.50, 187.52}, {{2013, 1, 7}, 71.37, 154.21, 175.58}, {{2013, 1, 8}, 72.51, 149.66, 163.25}}; I want a DateListPlot with three graphs, so for a matrix formed by columns 1 and 2, one for columns 1 and 3, and 1 for columns 1 and 4. At the moment I'm using this code: data2 = Transpose[{data[[All, 1]], data[[All, 2]]}]; data3 = Transpose[{data[[All, 1]], data[[All, 3]]}]; data4 = Transpose[{data[[All, 1]], data[[All, 4]]}]; DateListPlot[{data2, data3, data4}, Joined -> True, Filling -> {3 -> {1}}] but I have a hunch that this can be done more efficiently. I don't like the Transpose s in particular. Any ideas? edit (for extra credit) What if I need to multiply the second column by 2, which in my solution is simp...
