bugs - What is wrong with White Background for a DockedCell?



Bug introduced in V10.4 or earlier and persists through V11.3




SetOptions[
EvaluationNotebook[]
, DockedCells -> Flatten @ {
Cell[
BoxData @ ToBoxes[Framed[InputForm@#, Background -> White]]
, CellFrameMargins -> 15
, CellMargins -> {{0, 0}, {0, 0}}
, Background -> #

] & /@ {
Inherited, Red, GrayLevel[1.], None, GrayLevel[.99], Blue
}}
]

Apparently you can not have White Background for a DockedCells.


And if you do not obey they will take your margins, too!


enter image description here


Any reasonable explanation?


Notice the None case is documented:




If Background->None is set, then the margins are only applied if a CellFrame is present. If the cell frame is not drawn on all sides, then the margin will only be applied to the sides with a frame setting.



V11.2 Win7



[CASE:3975061] was created




Answer




[...] It does appear as though DockedCells cannot have White as their Background specification. I have filed a report with our developers regarding this incorrect limitation so that they may investigate and look to address the issue in a future release. [...]

The workaround is to use 'almost' white:


SetOptions[EvaluationNotebook[]
, DockedCells -> Cell[
BoxData @ ToBoxes[Framed[InputForm@GrayLevel[.999]]]
, CellFrameMargins -> 15
, CellMargins -> {{0, 0}, {0, 0}}
, Background -> GrayLevel[.999]
]

]

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...
