Does anyone have suggestions on how to get a button in a palette to generate output in another notebook? I'm looking for PasteButton[label,expr] only with expression being generated in an output cell as opposed to an input cell.

@bobthechemist How does the button know about which other notebook?

@halirutan I don't know (figured I would figure that out later). At the moment, I'm creating the palette from a notebook, and PasteButton sends its output to that notebook.

@bobthechemist One way would be to make an additional button which is pressed when you have selected the other notebook and then it can store which one was the other notebook.

I like that idea. I was thinking of an inputfield where the end user would type the name of the notebook where output should be directed, but I like your less typing suggestion.

@bobthechemist Something like this:

CreatePalette@PaletteNotebook[
  Module[{sel},
    Column[{
     Button["Store Selected", sel = SelectedNotebook[]],
     Button["Output", SelectionMove[sel, After, Cell];
      NotebookWrite[sel,
       Cell[BoxData["\"This looks like output\""], "Output"]]]
     }]
   ]]

@halirutan That looks great. I'll have to look in to the Boxes functions to see how to generalize this to my expressions. Thanks.

@bobthechemist No problem

@YvesKlett si senior. pero llueve ...

@Szabolcs and you probably don't have to work with CDF, PlayerPro, Enterprise CDF and other fun things ... BTW: I use Mathematica 10 as little as possible, because it is so unstable (i.e. the FrontEnd).

Waiting for 10.0.1.

@RolfMertig ay!

and agreed on the lability of V10. That is really annoying.

Does any one know if the MMA performance on Intel processors is different from that on AMD, for similar configurations? I heard that AMD does not allow hyperthreading, but Intel does. So does it mean compiled functions need fewer Intel cores than AMD that needs 1 thread per core? some one please educate me!!

@brama MMA no longer takes advantage of hyper threading by default: source.

@Pickett Thank you. Let me go through it!!

To whomever: Does this SetOptions[$FrontEnd, ScreenStyleEnvironment -> "Printout"] work for you, as in this answer mathematica.stackexchange.com/questions/57709/…? The answer has been upvoted six times, but (1) I have to restart the front end before it will work and (2) the answer does not warn about changing $FrontEnd or how to undo the change. The upvotes make me feel like I'm missing something.

It may be Mac specific...

@MichaelE2 It didn't, but I'm also on the Mac.

For some reason each time I executed SetOptions[$FrontEnd, ScreenStyleEnvironment -> "Printout"] the font got smaller. So now MMA looks like this:

It persists even after restart so now I need to figure out how to undo it.

It could have something with the zooming to do. It said 100%, but then I changed it to 125% in the drop down, and MMA converted that to 124%. But then if I click on the drop down it says 300%.

Ok so I've noticed Michael E2's original warning in that post. But it doesn't say what the original setting of ScreenStyleEnvironment was. What is it?

@Pickett ScreenStyleEnvironment -> "Inherited"

I rather think that should be part of the answer. Or one should have code as in my answer to save and restore such settings.

@Pickett Added it to my answer and in a comment to the other one.

@MichaelE2 Thank you, that solved it. And thanks for adding it as a comment etc. Code like that is dangerous as you pointed out, because people like me don't know how to restore the changes :)

Would anyone know if there is a Wolfram tutorial on the new Dataset functions and behaviour, the documentation centre seems to point to "Guides" which turn out to be nothing more than a list of functions, with out any guiding through their behaviour or application?

Why was my question marked as a duplicate? Both related questions are about generating a set of equally spaced points on a curve, but I was looking to remap my experimental data points to a curve.

@image_doctor I am not aware of a tutorial; that seems true of most of the new v10 features, which is kind of annoying.

I assume you have read over the examples/applications in the docs? That's your best bet, including for related functions. And you can of course ask any questions here.

@shrx I agree with you, and I voted to reopen the question.
