ControllerLinking

ControllerLinking

is an option for Manipulate, Graphics3D, Plot3D, and related functions that specifies whether to allow interactive control by external controllers.

Details

  • The following settings can be given:
  • Falsenever respond to external controllers
    Fullrespond only if the object is within the current selection of the focused notebook
    Automaticrespond if the object is within the current selection of the focused notebook
    Truerespond whenever the notebook has focus
    Allalways respond to external controllers
  • A new cell that contains an object with ControllerLinking->Automatic will automatically be selected if an external controller is moved immediately after the cell is generated.

Examples

open all close all

Basic Examples  (2)

By default, the output will respond to an external controller if the object is selected:

Wolfram Language code: Manipulate[u, {u, 0, 1}]

Using All makes the output always respond to external controllers:

Wolfram Language code: Manipulate[u, {u, 0, 1}, ControllerLinking -> All]

Scope  (3)

Using Full makes the output respond only if the object is within the current selection:

Wolfram Language code: Manipulate[u, {u, 0, 1}, ControllerLinking -> Full]

Using True makes the output respond whenever the notebook has focus:

Wolfram Language code: Manipulate[u, {u, 0, 1}, ControllerLinking -> True]

Using False makes the output never respond to external controllers:

Wolfram Language code: InputForm[Manipulate[u, {u, 0, 1}, ControllerLinking -> False]]
