Would it be possible to have a TogglerBar instead of the 2 Check Box to show or not the different Shapes.
With Green & Red written in each Button of the TogglerBar ?
Manipulate[
Graphics[{If[thePink, {Pink, Disk[{5, 5}, 3]}],
If[theGreen, {Green, Disk[{15, 2}, 1]}]},
PlotRange -> {{0, 20}, {0, 10}}], {{thePink, True,
Style["Pink", Black, Bold, 12]}, {True, False}}, {{theGreen, True,
Style["Green", Black, Bold, 12]}, {True, False}}]
The actual Manipulate object I am trying to adjust can be found there : http://www.laeh500.com/LAEH/COG.html The purpose being to replace the CheckBox by a nice TogglerBar.
Like this?
Manipulate[
Graphics[{
{White, Circle[{5, 5}, r]}, (* For Mma 7 compatibility*)
If[MemberQ[color, "Red"], {Pink, Disk[{5, 5}, r]}],
If[MemberQ[color, "Green"], {Green, Disk[{4, 2}, r]}]},
PlotRange -> {{0, 20}, {0, 10}}],
{{r, 1, "Radius"}, 1, 5, 1, ControlType -> Setter},
{{color, "Red", "Color"}, {"Red", "Green"}, ControlType -> TogglerBar},
LabelStyle -> Large]
Edit
Answering your comment, I think your notebook could benefit from a template like this one:
Manipulate[
Graphics[
{
{White, Circle[{5, 5}, r]},(* For Mma 7 compatibility*)
If[MemberQ[whatToDisplay, "Circle"], {Red, Circle [{5, 5}, r]}],
If[MemberQ[whatToDisplay, "Square"], {Blue, Rectangle[{5, 5}, {r, r}]}],
If[MemberQ[whatToDisplay, "Other"], {Black, Line [Tuples[{3, 4}, 2]]}],
},
PlotRange -> {{0, 20}, {0, 10}}
],
(* Controls follow *)
{{r, 1, Style["Radius", Black, Bold, 12]}, 1, 5, 1, ControlType -> Slider
, ControlPlacement-> Top
},
Control@{{whatToDisplay, True, Style["What", Black, Bold, 12]},
{"Circle", "Square", "Other"},
ControlType -> TogglerBar,
Appearance -> "Vertical",
ControlPlacement -> Left
}
]
