# Help with interactive plot? [closed]

The following interactive plot causes Mathematica 9 to become unresponsive. Could someone please tell me what is wrong with it?

Manipulate[
Module[{tbl1},
tbl1 = Table[
Tooltip[{effS,
B + EQ (P - P pfold) +
pfold (P + V) + (-1 - 2 EQ (-1 + pfold) + pfold) effS}], {effS,
0.05, Min[S, T], 0.01}];
ListLinePlot[{tbl1}, PlotLegends -> {"EV"},
PlotStyle -> {Directive[Orange]}, Mesh -> All,
MeshStyle -> Opacity[0], GridLines -> {Automatic},
AxesLabel -> {"eff stack", "EV"}]], {{B, 180, "Hero bet"}, 0.05, S,
0.01, Appearance -> "Labeled"}, {{V, 400, "Villain bet"}, 0.05, T,
0.01, Appearance -> "Labeled"}, {{S, 1280, "Hero remaining stack"},
0.05, 10000, 0.01,
Appearance -> "Labeled"}, {{T, 870, "Villain remaining stack"},
0.05, 10000, 0.01, Appearance -> "Labeled"}, {{P, 260, "Pot"}, 0.05,
10000, 0.01, Appearance -> "Labeled"}, {{EQ, 0.25, "Hero Equity"},
0, 100, 0.01,
Appearance -> "Labeled"}, {{pfold, 0.5,
"Probability villain folds"}, 0, 1, 0.01, Appearance -> "Labeled"}]

Change {effS,0.05, Min[S, T], 0.01} to {effS,0.05, Min[S, T], 10} seems to work. –  user0501 Apr 22 '13 at 20:05
Yes it seems to work but why does the graph x-axis show from -1 to 1 instead of from 0 to min[S,T]? –  dabd Apr 22 '13 at 20:10
It's like @user0501 said, you have too MANY points for speedy dynamic refresh. –  Silvia Apr 22 '13 at 20:13
I also find the mistake that is causing the axis to show the incorrect range. Thanks for the help. –  dabd Apr 22 '13 at 20:21

One thing you can do to improve Manipulate speeds is to use ControlActive, which lets you set different behaviours for when a control is being moved and when it isn't.

For example, with this code:

ListLinePlot[{
ControlActive[Take[tbl1, {1, -1, 5000}],
Take[tbl1, {1, -1, 50}]]},
PlotLegends -> {"EV"},
PlotStyle -> {Directive[Orange]},
Mesh -> ControlActive[None, All],
MeshStyle -> Opacity[0],
GridLines -> {Automatic},
AxesLabel -> {"eff stack", "EV"}]]


you're drawing the first set of data when the sliders are moving, and drawing the second set once they stop. It's now much more responsive.

which is an improvement on my machine, because your original code didn't produce a plot at all before aborting.

Still, I think too many points is still your main problem...
