Dear Group,
Below is a simplified version to illustrate my problem. The code below
will create a simple graph with a red and blue point. When you click on
the points, a popup-window will open to present a plot of the "data".
The red dot does this with an EventHandler[], and the blue dot with a
PopupWindow[].
data = Table[Sin[x], {x, 0, 10}];
event[point_] :=
EventHandler[Tooltip[Point[point], "EventHandler"],
"MouseClicked" :>
CreateDocument[ListPlot[data], WindowSize -> All]];
pop[point_] :=
PopupWindow[Tooltip[Point[point], "Popup"], ListPlot[data],
WindowSize -> All];
Graphics[{PointSize[Large], Red, event[{0, 1}], Blue, pop[{1, 1}]},
AspectRatio -> Full, ImageSize -> {50, 20}]
There is the following problem: The plot in the PopupWindow can be
selected, but cannot copied-and-pasted somewhere else. This is something
that I would like to be able to do.
With the Plot in the other window (EventHandler), this is possible.
However, if you now Quit[] the kernel (i.e. Mathematica forgets about
the definition of data), the EventHandler does not produce the plot
anymore, while the PopupWindow still works.
I'd like to be able to do one of the following:
- copy-and-paste plots out of the PopupWindow,
or:
- have the EventHandler remember the data in a fresh Mathematica session.
Some background: I analyze data, where the points represent some
condensed properties of data. Clicking the points should show the
original data, with the possibility to extract the original-data plot
(copy-and-paste) for further inspection.
Thank you!
