plotting - How to control the relative sizes of graphics combined with Inset


I created a two grids like this


height = 125;
cb = MatrixPlot[
  Table[Mod[i + j, 2], {i, 1, 2}, {j, 1, 8}]

  , ColorFunction -> "BlueGreenYellow"
  , ImageSize -> {Automatic, 2*height}
  ]

enter image description here


p1 = MatrixPlot[
      Table[1, {i, 1, 1}, {j, 1, 2}]
      , Mesh -> True
      , ColorFunction -> ColorData["DarkRainbow"]
      , ImageSize -> {Automatic, height}

      ]

enter image description here


If I combine the two with Inset, I get


Graphics[{First@cb, Inset[p1, {0, 0}]}]

enter image description here


What should I do if I want to cover the top-left two squares of the yellow/green grid with the red grid?


(I know I could redraw the larger grid with the color of some squares changed. But I want to know how to do it with Inset.)




Update, after trying to play with the parameters of Inset, I have found some appropriate parameters that works. But this takes a lot trials.


Is there a way to keep images with their "absolute" size when using Inset?


Manipulate[ Graphics[{First@cb,    Inset[p1, {x, y}, {Left, Bottom}, {Automatic, w}]},   ImageSize -> ImageDimensions[cb]], {{x, -0.1}, -0.5,   0.5}, {{y, 0.8}, 0.0, 1.0}, {{w, 1.4}, 0.5, 2}]

Answer



Maybe not an answer


I think that Inset[] is not what you need.


This is what is happening when one resizes a graphic with some Inset[] without the fourth argument :


enter image description here



If you need a layout that doesn't change when resizing, you can use the 4 arguments form, but I find it a way easier not to use Inset[]at all :.


Like this :


height = 125;
cb = MatrixPlot[
  Table[Mod[i + j, 2], {i, 1, 2}, {j, 1, 8}]
  , ColorFunction -> "BlueGreenYellow"
  , ImageSize -> {Automatic, 2*height}
  ];  

p1 = MatrixPlot[

  Table[1, {i, 1, 1}, {j, 1, 2}]
  , Mesh -> True
  , ColorFunction -> ColorData["DarkRainbow"]
  , ImageSize -> {Automatic, height}
  ];

Graphics[{cb[[1, {1, 2}]], Translate[p1[[1, {1, 2}]], {0, 2}]}, Frame -> True]

enter image description here

mathematical optimization - Minimizing using indices, error: Part::pkspec1: The expression cannot be used as a part specification

I want to use Minimize where the variables to minimize are indices pointing into an array. Here a MWE that hopefully shows what my problem is. vars = u@# & /@ Range[3]; cons = Flatten@ { Table[(u[j] != #) & /@ vars[[j + 1 ;; -1]], {j, 1, 3 - 1}], 1 vec1 = {1, 2, 3}; vec2 = {1, 2, 3}; Minimize[{Total@((vec1[[#]] - vec2[[u[#]]])^2 & /@ Range[1, 3]), cons}, vars, Integers] The error I get: Part::pkspec1: The expression u[1] cannot be used as a part specification. >> Answer Ok, it seems that one can get around Mathematica trying to evaluate vec2[[u[1]]] too early by using the function Indexed[vec2,u[1]] . The working MWE would then look like the following: vars = u@# & /@ Range[3]; cons = Flatten@{ Table[(u[j] != #) & /@ vars[[j + 1 ;; -1]], {j, 1, 3 - 1}], 1 vec1 = {1, 2, 3}; vec2 = {1, 2, 3}; NMinimize[ {Total@((vec1[[#]] - Indexed[vec2, u[#]])^2 & /@ R...

functions - Get leading series expansion term?

Given a function f[x] , I would like to have a function leadingSeries that returns just the leading term in the series around x=0 . For example: leadingSeries[(1/x + 2)/(4 + 1/x^2 + x)] x and leadingSeries[(1/x + 2 + (1 - 1/x^3)/4)/(4 + x)] -(1/(16 x^3)) Is there such a function in Mathematica? Or maybe one can implement it efficiently? EDIT I finally went with the following implementation, based on Carl Woll 's answer: lds[ex_,x_]:=( (ex/.x->(x+O[x]^2))/.SeriesData[U_,Z_,L_List,Mi_,Ma_,De_]:>SeriesData[U,Z,{L[[1]]},Mi,Mi+1,De]//Quiet//Normal) The advantage is, that this one also properly works with functions whose leading term is a constant: lds[Exp[x],x] 1 Answer Update 1 Updated to eliminate SeriesData and to not return additional terms Perhaps you could use: leadingSeries[expr_, x_] := Normal[expr /. x->(x+O[x]^2) /. a_List :> Take[a, 1]] Then for your examples: leadingSeries[(1/x + 2)/(4 + 1/x^2 + x), x] leadingSeries[Exp[x], x] leadingSeries[(1/x + 2 + (1 - 1/x...

plotting - Plot 4D data with color as 4th dimension

I have a list of 4D data (x position, y position, amplitude, wavelength). I want to plot x, y, and amplitude on a 3D plot and have the color of the points correspond to the wavelength. I have seen many examples using functions to define color but my wavelength cannot be expressed by an analytic function. Is there a simple way to do this? Answer Here a another possible way to visualize 4D data: data = Flatten[Table[{x, y, x^2 + y^2, Sin[x - y]}, {x, -Pi, Pi,Pi/10}, {y,-Pi,Pi, Pi/10}], 1]; You can use the function Point along with VertexColors . Now the points are places using the first three elements and the color is determined by the fourth. In this case I used Hue, but you can use whatever you prefer. Graphics3D[ Point[data[[All, 1 ;; 3]], VertexColors -> Hue /@ data[[All, 4]]], Axes -> True, BoxRatios -> {1, 1, 1/GoldenRatio}]
