graphics - Text[] with offset not positioned correctly in M11.1 and M11.2


Bug introduced in 11.1 and persisting through 11.3




When the first argument of Text is a Graphics, and the third argument (offset) is used, positioning is incorrect in M11.1 and M11.2. Mathematica 11.0 behaves correctly.


Example:


inset = Graphics[{Circle[{0, 0}, 2]}, Frame -> True, 
  FrameTicks -> None, ImagePadding -> 1, PlotRangePadding -> None, 
  ImageSize -> 90]

Inset


figure = Graphics[
  {Text[inset, Scaled[{0.5, 0.5}], {1, 1}]},
  PlotRange -> {{0, 1}, {0, 1}},

  Frame -> True,
  GridLines -> {Range[0, 1, .1], Range[0, 1, .1]},
  ImageSize -> 360
  ]

Incorrect positioning


(This is wrong)


With the {1,1} offset, the upper right corner of the inset should line up with the middle of the plot range in the enclosing figure.


In Mathematica 11.0 we get the expected output:


Correct positioning



In M11.1 and 11.2 we also get a correct positioning if the inset is a general notebook expression instead of a Graphics. We can, for example, wrap it in Framed to achieve this.


figure = Graphics[
  {Text[Framed[inset], Scaled[{0.5, 0.5}], {1, 1}]},
  PlotRange -> {{0, 1}, {0, 1}},
  Frame -> True,
  GridLines -> {Range[0, 1, .1], Range[0, 1, .1]},
  ImageSize -> 360
  ]

Correct positioning with Framed



Is there a workaround for this bug?



This bug is of concern to me because MaTeX-generated expressions are supposed to be a drop-in replacement for text. It is supposed to work when written directly within Text. But MaTeX outputs Graphics, so it is affected by this bug. In some situations, the user can't even control if some expression they input will be used inside of a Text or an Inset.

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-...

How to thread a list

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...
