graphs and networks - How to get "text wrapping" for long text strings when using LayeredGraphPlot


I start with a list of occupation titles:


OccTitlerules = {"Carpenters" -> "Sheet Metal Workers", 
"Cement Masons and Concrete Finishers" -> "Carpenters",
"Construction Laborers" -> "Helpers--Carpenters",
"Construction Managers" -> "Cost Estimators",
"Cost Estimators" -> "Construction Managers",
"Electricians" ->
"Heating, Air Conditioning, and Refrigeration Mechanics and
Installers",

"Fence Erectors" ->
"Helpers--Brickmasons, Blockmasons, Stonemasons, and Tile and
Marble Setters",
"First-Line Supervisors of Construction Trades and Extraction
Workers" ->
"First-Line Supervisors of Mechanics, Installers, and Repairers",
"First-Line Supervisors of Mechanics, Installers, and Repairers" ->
"First-Line Supervisors of Construction Trades and Extraction
Workers",
"Heating, Air Conditioning, and Refrigeration Mechanics and

Installers" -> "Electricians",
"Helpers--Brickmasons, Blockmasons, Stonemasons, and Tile and Marble
Setters" -> "Cement Masons and Concrete Finishers",
"Helpers--Carpenters" -> "Construction Laborers",
"Helpers--Electricians" -> "Helpers--Carpenters",
"Helpers--Pipelayers, Plumbers, Pipefitters, and Steamfitters" ->
"Construction Laborers",
"Insulation Workers, Mechanical" -> "Roofers",
"Plumbers, Pipefitters, and Steamfitters" -> "Electricians",
"Roofers" -> "Insulation Workers, Mechanical",

"Sheet Metal Workers" -> "Carpenters"};

Then I build the following Layered Graph Plot:


LayeredGraphPlot[OccTitlerules, Bottom, VertexLabeling -> True, 
BaseStyle -> {FontSize -> 12}, ImageSize -> 2600, AspectRatio -> 1/2]

Notice that I have to use a large ImageSize value because; otherwise, some of the labels contained in the text boxes will overlap. Unfortunately; doing this makes the plot so large that I'm unable to print it in regular 8.5" X 11" paper.


I cannot abbreviate the job titles because they are specific are necessary.


My question is; is there a way to "wrap" the text so that the longest job titles are better disbursed inside their text boxes?


For example; the job title:



"Air Conditioning, and Refrigeration Mechanics and Installers"


with text wrapping applied to it becomes:


"Air Conditioning, and Refrigeration


Mechanics and Installers"


Thank you!

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

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[ ...
