Re: Need Help With Locator in a Manipulate

Show all headers | View raw

Excellent. Thank you, Bob.

Late yesterday I had accomplished, more or less, the same thing by putting the following in the Epilog of my plot:

Locator[Dynamic[pt2, pt2 = {pt2[[1]], m pt2[[1]] + pt1[[2]] - m*pt1[[1]]}]]

In either case, the locator jiggles as it is being moved. I suppose this because its position is being re-evaluated. Is there any way to make its movement smoother?

Regards,

Gregory

I want the second locator, pt2, to be constrained to move along the line determined by locator pt1 and slope m. In a previous post some time ago, Bob Hanlon and John Fultz kindly showed me how to constrain a locator to move around the perimeter of a circle, but this used DynamicModule, and I am not sure how to bring this into a Manipulate. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.  The code for my Manipulate is below. Right now, locator pt2 is arbitrarily set to {50,50} but it doesn't do anything.
