Displaying Graphics Objects in Loops - How?

Posted 10 years ago

this is a very simple question ... hopefully someone has a quick answer. suppose I define a simple graphics object and display it ... for example ... obj = Line[ { {-3, -1}, {3, -1} } ] ; Graphics[obj] these 2 lines of code work fine - and I get a Line in Mathematica. Now ... I want to do the same thing inside a loop, such as a For Loop. But Mathematica gives no output. WHY?? Even if I add a Show command outside the Graphics statement, this still does not work. For [ j = 1, j < 3, j++, Graphics[obj] ] thanks, Pete

Hi David, I'm struggling with issues similar to those Pete had. I'm trying to use Tooltip[ListLinePlot [.... constructs within various M10 loop constructs without success yet the same syntax (except for Tooltip) works within Manipulate. Could you please explain, or point me to the right area of documentation that explains, why the higher level plot functions produce no output within a For/While loop. Many thanks David M

You can use the command Table as following obj = Line[{{-3, -1}, {3, -1}}]; Table[Graphics[obj], {i, 1, 3}] I think you want to do something like this Table[Graphics[Line[{{-3, -1}, {i, -1}}], Axes -> True], {i, 1, 3}] I hope you've given any idea to solve your problem
