Seth,
How about the following?
MapAtCase::usage =
"MapAtCase[expr, fn, pattern] applies the function fn at each
part of expr that matches pattern.
\nMapAtCase[expr, fn, pattern,lev, k, opts], applies fn at up to k
positions in level lev. Options for Position are passed on.
\nThe data for fn for action at position pos are pos, index (first,
second... selection made), k, total number of selections made
(would it be better to simply give the list of all the selected
positions?)";
MapAtCase[g_,f_,p_,lev_:1,k_:Infinity,opts___]:=
Module[{h=g},
Apply[(h[[Sequence@@#]]=f[##])&,
Thread[
{#,Range[Length[#]],k,Length[#]}&[
Position[g,p,lev,k, opts]
]
],
1
];h
]
Examples
g = Graphics[Table[Circle[{Random[],Random[]}, Random[]],{10}]];
cl = Table[Hue[Random[]],{10}];
MapAtCase[g,{cl[[#2]],g[[Sequence@@#]]}&,Circle[_,_?(#<.5&)],Infinity]
Show[%, AspectRatio-> Automatic]
MapAtCase[g,
g[[Sequence@@#]]/.
Circle[p_,r_]->{Hue[.7r],Disk[p,r]}&,Circle[_,_?(#<.1&)],
Infinity
];
Show[%, AspectRatio-> Automatic]
