Manually declaring dependent cells

[haakon-e]

Is there a way to "tell" Pluto that a cell should depend on another cell? In the attached, recorded example, I set the global theme for Makie in one cell, then create a plot in another. If I do this naively, i.e.

# cell 1:
Makie.set_theme!( ... )

# cell 2:
begin
heatmap(...)
current_figure()
end

then, updating the arguments to set_theme! does nothing to the plot. However, if I assign a dummy-variable a (note, set_theme! returns nothing), that I also put into the figure block, things update nicely (see screen recording). Is there a (more) proper way to do this?

This is exactly the way to do it. I would add a more declarative name to the theme; e.g.: rerun_on_theme_change = Makie.theme and then

begin
  rerun_on_theme_change;
  heatmap(...)
end

But that's really just a variable :D

Thanks!
