plotting - ListPlot point colors by list of colorfunctions


I would like to display the positions of a collection of particles as a function of time (animated) and color code them based on their velocities. For example, consider 10 particles moving in a 2D harmonic oscillator:


velocity = Flatten[(Sqrt[x'[t]^2 + y'[t]^2] /. position)];

Num = 10;
position0 =
Table[{RandomReal[{-5, 5}], RandomReal[{-5, 5}]}, {i, 1, Num}];

ωx = 1; ωy = 1.07;
position = Table[
NDSolve[{x''[t] == -ωx^2 x[t], x[0] == position0[[i, 1]], x'[0] == 0,
y''[t] == -ωy^2 y[t], y[0] == position0[[i, 2]],
y'[0] == 0}, {x, y}, {t, 0, 10}], {i, 1, Num}];
velocity = Flatten[(Sqrt[x'[t]^2 + y'[t]^2] /. position)];


I can then plot a single particle's trajectory colored by its velocity:


ParametricPlot[Evaluate[{x[t], y[t]} /. position[[2]]], {t, 0, 10},
ColorFunction ->
Function[{x, y, t},
ColorData[{"ThermometerColors", {0, 5}}][velocity[[2]]]],
ColorFunctionScaling -> False
]

Particle trajectory in harmonic well, colored by velocity



But what I would like to do is plot the points using ListPlot, and color code each point by its velocity as a function of time. I've started:


Animate[
ListPlot[Table[{x[t], y[t]} /. position[[i, 1]], {i, 1, Num}],
PlotRange -> {{-5, 5}, {-5, 5}}, Joined -> True,
ColorFunction ->
Function[{i, x, y, t},
ColorData[{"ThermometerColors", {0, 5}}][velocity]]],
ColorFunctionScaling -> False] /. Line -> Point,
{t, 0, 10}, AnimationRunning -> False]


I get the animation right but the colors do not appear -- I'm sure I'm not addressing the ColorFunction correctly but I'm not sure how to get it to index by point rather than by one of the continuous variables (eg. x or y).

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...
