"triangular" sliders when plotting with @interact ?
Hello! I am interested in plotting a function fu(x) (or fu(x,y)) using @interact. The subscript u=(u1,u2,u3) is a vector in the 2-dimensional simplex, so u is a real-valued vector with nonnegative entries summing to 1.
I am aware of single-variable sliders. For the plot of this function fu, it seems natural to me to adjust by clicking a point in this simplex, where the simplex is drawn off to the side as an equilateral triangle with corners labeled (1,0,0),(0,1,0),(0,0,1).
Are features like this built-in? I am okay to use either notebook!
I don't think a feature like this exist, you would have to code the widget yourself.
You could try something like this, but it hasn't been updated in 6 years...
The simpler option is to use 2 sliders to control the coordinates of your point, linked to a dynamic plot to visualize the position in real time.
Thanks for your comment. I'm months late, but I appreciate your effort. Seems like it's too much trouble to assemble in sage :(
