plotting - How to place legend labels for Histogram and ListLinePlots correctly?


I would like to place AxesLabels:



  1. For x axis at center of the Histogram and LineListPLots.

  2. For y axis rotated 90 degree anti clockwise.



I don't see any options for it?


Histogram[Table[zcb[i],{i,mcRunHJM}],AxesLabel->{Price,Relative Frequency}]

ListLinePlot[Table[zcb[i],{i,mcRunHJM}],PlotRange->{{0,mcRunHJM},{0.9,1.1}}, PlotLabel->Style["Convergence",FontSize->12],AxesLabel->{Simulation Step,Price}]

enter image description here



Answer



For the histogram:


Labeled[Histogram[

RandomReal[NormalDistribution[0, 1], 200]], {Rotate[
"Relative Frequency", 90 Degree], "Price"}, {Left, Bottom}]

enter image description here


Addendum


Further to Sebastian's comment to add stats:-


data = RandomReal[NormalDistribution[0, 1], 200];
Labeled[Histogram[data,
Epilog -> Inset[Framed[Grid[{
{"Mean =", Mean[data]},

{"Max =", Max[data]},
{"Min =", Min[data]}},
Alignment -> {{Left}}], Background -> White],
{Right, Top}, {Right, Top}],
BaseStyle -> {FontFamily -> "Courier"}], {Rotate[
"Relative Frequency", 90 Degree], "Price"},
{Left, Bottom}]

enter image description here


To show two data sets, two methods:-



dataA = RandomReal[NormalDistribution[0, 1], 200];
dataB = RandomReal[NormalDistribution[0, 1], 100];

Labeled[Histogram[{dataA, dataB},
ChartStyle -> {ColorData[3, 4], ColorData[3, 6]},
ChartLegends -> {
Style[StringJoin["Set A mean = ",
ToString[Round[Mean[dataA], 10.^-6]]],
FontFamily -> "Courier"],
Style[StringJoin["Set B mean = ",

ToString[Round[Mean[dataB], 10.^-6]]],
FontFamily -> "Courier"]}],
{Rotate["Relative Frequency", 90 Degree],
"Price "}, {Left, Bottom}]

enter image description here


For more control of appearance the second method uses ShowLegend:-


(* Specify common bin division size *)
histA = Histogram[dataA, {0.5}];
histB = Histogram[dataB, {0.5}];

(* Find common plot range and axes origin *)
minmaxA = First[PlotRange /. Options[histA, PlotRange]];
minmaxB = First[PlotRange /. Options[histB, PlotRange]];
tAB = Transpose[{minmaxA, minmaxB}];
minmaxAB = {Min[First[tAB]], Max[Last[tAB]]};
aoA = First[AxesOrigin /. Options[histA, AxesOrigin]];
aoB = First[AxesOrigin /. Options[histB, AxesOrigin]];
aoAB = Min[aoA, aoB];

Quiet[Needs["PlotLegends`"]];

Labeled[
ShowLegend[Show[
Histogram[dataA, {0.5},
ChartBaseStyle -> {ColorData[3, 4], Opacity[0.5]}],
Histogram[dataB, {0.5},
ChartBaseStyle -> {ColorData[3, 6], Opacity[0.5]}],
PlotRange -> {minmaxAB, {All, All}},
AxesOrigin -> {aoAB, 0}],

{{{Graphics[{ColorData[3, 4], Opacity[0.5], Rectangle[]}],

Style[StringJoin["Set A mean = ",
ToString[Round[Mean[dataA], 10.^-6]]],
FontFamily -> "Courier"]}, {Graphics[{ColorData[3, 6],
Opacity[0.5], Rectangle[]}], Style[StringJoin["Set B mean = ",
ToString[Round[Mean[dataB], 10.^-6]]],
FontFamily -> "Courier"]}},
LegendPosition -> {0.2, 0.6},
LegendSize -> {1.1, 0.25},
LegendTextSpace -> 8,
LegendShadow -> None}],

{Rotate["Relative Frequency", 90 Degree], "Price "},
{Left, Bottom}]

enter image description here


And a matching ListLinePlot:-


linedataA = RandomReal[NormalDistribution[0, 1], 20];
linedataB = Accumulate[linedataA];

ListLinePlot[{linedataA, linedataB},
Frame -> {{True, False}, {True, False}},

FrameLabel ->
Map[Style[#, {FontFamily -> "Courier", 13}] &,
{"Simulation Step", "Price"}],
PlotLegends -> {"Set A", "Set B"}]

plotting - How to draw lines between specified dots on ListPlot?

I would like to create a plot where I have unconnected dots and some connected. So far, I have figured out how to draw the dots. My code is the following: ListPlot[{{1, 1}, {2, 2}, {3, 3}, {4, 4}, {1, 4}, {2, 5}, {3, 6}, {4, 7}, {1, 7}, {2, 8}, {3, 9}, {4, 10}, {1, 10}, {2, 11}, {3, 12}, {4,13}, {2.5, 7}}, Ticks -> {{1, 2, 3, 4}, None}, AxesStyle -> Thin, TicksStyle -> Directive[Black, Bold, 12], Mesh -> Full] I have thought using ListLinePlot command, but I don't know how to specify to the command to draw only selected lines between the dots. Do have any suggestions/hints on how to do that? Thank you. Answer One possibility would be to use Epilog with Line : ListPlot[ {{1, 1}, {2, 2}, {3, 3}, {4, 4}, {1, 4}, {2, 5}, {3, 6}, {4, 7}, {1, 7}, {2, 8}, {3, 9}, {4, 10}, {1, 10}, {2, 11}, {3, 12}, {4, 13}, {2.5, 7}}, Ticks -> {{1, 2, 3, 4}, None}, AxesStyle -> Thin, TicksStyle -> Directive[Black, Bold, 12], Mesh -> Full, Epilog -> { Line[ ...

dynamic - How can I make a clickable ArrayPlot that returns input?

I would like to create a dynamic ArrayPlot so that the rectangles, when clicked, provide the input. Can I use ArrayPlot for this? Or is there something else I should have to use? Answer ArrayPlot is much more than just a simple array like Grid : it represents a ranged 2D dataset, and its visualization can be finetuned by options like DataReversed and DataRange . These features make it quite complicated to reproduce the same layout and order with Grid . Here I offer AnnotatedArrayPlot which comes in handy when your dataset is more than just a flat 2D array. The dynamic interface allows highlighting individual cells and possibly interacting with them. AnnotatedArrayPlot works the same way as ArrayPlot and accepts the same options plus Enabled , HighlightCoordinates , HighlightStyle and HighlightElementFunction . data = {{Missing["HasSomeMoreData"], GrayLevel[ 1], {RGBColor[0, 1, 1], RGBColor[0, 0, 1], GrayLevel[1]}, RGBColor[0, 1, 0]}, {GrayLevel[0], GrayLevel...

list manipulation - Selecting multiple columns from a matrix?

Sample data: data = { {{2013, 1, 1}, 24.13, 167.67, 231.82}, {{2013, 1, 2}, 32.15, 170.92, 225.99}, {{2013, 1, 3}, 35.43, 172.68, 221.67}, {{2013, 1, 4}, 36.73, 173.05, 218.32}, {{2013, 1, 5}, 58.19, 165.96, 197.05}, {{2013, 1, 6}, 69.99, 163.50, 187.52}, {{2013, 1, 7}, 71.37, 154.21, 175.58}, {{2013, 1, 8}, 72.51, 149.66, 163.25}}; I want a DateListPlot with three graphs, so for a matrix formed by columns 1 and 2, one for columns 1 and 3, and 1 for columns 1 and 4. At the moment I'm using this code: data2 = Transpose[{data[[All, 1]], data[[All, 2]]}]; data3 = Transpose[{data[[All, 1]], data[[All, 3]]}]; data4 = Transpose[{data[[All, 1]], data[[All, 4]]}]; DateListPlot[{data2, data3, data4}, Joined -> True, Filling -> {3 -> {1}}] but I have a hunch that this can be done more efficiently. I don't like the Transpose s in particular. Any ideas? edit (for extra credit) What if I need to multiply the second column by 2, which in my solution is simp...
