Like you, I tend to both sorts of transformations, and I would not absolutely recommend one style over the other. There's a third possibility that you missed. Start with a notebook template and create versions of the notebook using...
No, it wasn't properly announced, so let me talk about it here. Along with official bits of Wolfram Language, we're also trying to pull together interesting things which will probably never be a part of Wolfram Language, but are notable in their...
I'd start with something like this: Manipulate[Column[{x, 2 x, 3 x}], {{x, 0}, ControlType -> InputField}, Row[{"2x ", InputField[Dynamic[2 x, (x = 1/2 #) &]]}], Row[{"3x ", InputField[Dynamic[3 x, (x = 1/3 #) &]]}]]
If you pre-compute everything except for the bits that depend upon the `Manipulate` variable, it gets much faster. This code is not so pretty. I didn't try to make the most elegant refactoring that does precomputation...just one that I could easily...
I fixed the documentation, incidentally.
First, you should make sure you're using 10.2. There was a serious bug in earlier versions that didn't handle LinkObjects correctly in an abort scenario. Second, what you're trying to do really is, if possible, completely inadvisable. When you...
There's a back button in the Formatting toolbar (why Formatting? Because...um...look at that interesting thing over there!). I.e., Window->Toolbar->Formatting.
PDF export uses the same settings that would be used during printing. Your notebook has been configured to print in Landscape mode, but the content is not well formatted for Landscape. You can change it to Portrait in the Page Setup dialog (in the...
I'm not personally a Workbench user, but I do believe that some use it for this purpose. But most of the time, the code in the interface splits cleanly into code that's managing the interface, and code that's taking inputs from the interface and...
When you change the `ViewPoint`, it's trying to do the following: {2,v,2} = {2.1, 2.5, 2.3} (* where 2.1, 2.5, and 2.3 are whatever random values your rotation produced *) which isn't going to work. You can use the second argument of...
