graphics - LocatorPane, selecting multiple Locators


Consider the following snippet


  pts = RandomReal[1, {3, 2}]
  g = Graphics[{Polygon[Dynamic[pts]]}, PlotRegion -> {{0, 0}, {2, 2}}];

  Panel[LocatorPane[Dynamic[pts], g]]

I would like to be able to drag the triangle as a whole. I found none and assume this has to be added via code, i.e. EventHandler but found no examples of this.


Question: How can I select, and act upon multiple locators, i.e. drag, scale, apply a transformation to the points?



Answer



Here's one way to do it. In this example I've used one list of points for the vertices of the two shapes. The inner EventHandler sets the flag drag which indicates which shape should be moved. The outer EventHandler actually moves the shape. Releasing the mouse resets drag to 0 again. I'm using PassEventsDown -> True in the outer event handlers to make sure that the mouse events are handed over from outer to the inner event handlers.


DynamicModule[{pts, range, gr, drag, pts0},
 pts = RandomReal[1, {7, 2}];
 range = {Span[1, 4], Span[5, 7]};
 gr = {{Red, Polygon[Dynamic[pts[[range[[1]]]]]]},

   {Blue, Polygon[Dynamic[pts[[range[[2]]]]]]}};
 drag = 0;

 Panel[LocatorPane[Dynamic[pts],
   EventHandler[
    Graphics[
     EventHandler[gr[[#]],
        {"MouseDown" :> (drag = #; 
          pts0 = # - MousePosition["Graphics"] & /@ pts[[range[[#]]]])}
        ] & /@ {1, 2}, 

     PlotRange -> {{0, 2}, {0, 2}}],
    {"MouseDragged" :> 
      If[drag > 0, pts[[range[[drag]]]] = # + MousePosition["Graphics"] & /@ pts0],
     "MouseUp" :> (drag = 0)},
    PassEventsDown -> True]]]]

functions - Get leading series expansion term?

Given a function f[x] , I would like to have a function leadingSeries that returns just the leading term in the series around x=0 . For example: leadingSeries[(1/x + 2)/(4 + 1/x^2 + x)] x and leadingSeries[(1/x + 2 + (1 - 1/x^3)/4)/(4 + x)] -(1/(16 x^3)) Is there such a function in Mathematica? Or maybe one can implement it efficiently? EDIT I finally went with the following implementation, based on Carl Woll 's answer: lds[ex_,x_]:=( (ex/.x->(x+O[x]^2))/.SeriesData[U_,Z_,L_List,Mi_,Ma_,De_]:>SeriesData[U,Z,{L[[1]]},Mi,Mi+1,De]//Quiet//Normal) The advantage is, that this one also properly works with functions whose leading term is a constant: lds[Exp[x],x] 1 Answer Update 1 Updated to eliminate SeriesData and to not return additional terms Perhaps you could use: leadingSeries[expr_, x_] := Normal[expr /. x->(x+O[x]^2) /. a_List :> Take[a, 1]] Then for your examples: leadingSeries[(1/x + 2)/(4 + 1/x^2 + x), x] leadingSeries[Exp[x], x] leadingSeries[(1/x + 2 + (1 - 1/x...

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-...
