Adding Dynamic functionality to a Graph


I would like to make the edges and vertices of a Graph interactive, a simple demonstration is to change their colors:


DynamicModule[{col = Green},

 Dynamic@Graph[{
    EventHandler[
     Style[1, col], 
       {"MouseClicked" :> (col = col /. {Red -> Green, Green -> Red})}],
    2, 3, 4, 5},
   {1 -> 2, 1 -> 3, 2 -> 4,
    EventHandler[
     Style[2 -> 5, col], 
       {"MouseClicked" :> (col = col /. {Red -> Green, Green -> Red})}]
    }]]


The above code generates a graph that has two clickable objects (one edge, one vertex) however they both change color when one of the objects is clicked. I suspected this is due to my EventHandler code and the events would trigger whenever the Graph is clicked. The color change event is not thrown, however, if one of the other edges/vertices is clicked so I'm a bit stuck.


As an aside, I used Rule instead of DirectedEdge which seems to work although I don't know if this is the right way to make a graph.



Answer



Let's use some functionalities Graphs are equiped with:


col[_] := Red;
b = Button[Style[#, col[#]], col[#] = col[#] /. {Red -> Green, Green -> Red}] &;

Dynamic@Graph[
  {1, b@2, 3, b@4, 5},

  {1 -> 2, 1 -> 3, b[2 -> 4], 2 -> 5}]

enter image description here


Graph allows us to put inside Style Button etc. This is the effect.


Perfect situation for You would be if DynamicModule is avalible, unfortunatelly it is not. Then You could create similar function to that above with scoped col and with different initialization value for each color. I will try to work around that.

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-...

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...
