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]

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...

front end - keyboard shortcut to invoke Insert new matrix

I frequently need to type in some matrices, and the menu command Insert > Table/Matrix > New... allows matrices with lines drawn between columns and rows, which is very helpful. I would like to make a keyboard shortcut for it, but cannot find the relevant frontend token command (4209405) for it. Since the FullForm[] and InputForm[] of matrices with lines drawn between rows and columns is the same as those without lines, it's hard to do this via 3rd party system-wide text expanders (e.g. autohotkey or atext on mac). How does one assign a keyboard shortcut for the menu item Insert > Table/Matrix > New... , preferably using only mathematica? Thanks! Answer In the MenuSetup.tr (for linux located in the $InstallationDirectory/SystemFiles/FrontEnd/TextResources/X/ directory), I changed the line MenuItem["&New...", "CreateGridBoxDialog"] to read MenuItem["&New...", "CreateGridBoxDialog", MenuKey["m", Modifiers-...
