plotting - How to increase the number of minor ticks in a plot?

I want to increase the number of minor ticks in a plot, but I don't want to label them. I searched through this site and also Mathematica documentation, but I didn't find any solution yet. Could anyone please tell me how to do this.

For an example:

Plot[2*Sin[x], {x, 0, 10}, Frame -> True, 
 FrameTicks -> {True, True, False, False}, Axes -> True, 
 AxesOrigin -> {0, 0}]

I want to get 10 minor tick marks in between 0 and 1 and so on (in between major tick marks on both axis).

Here is the output plot

Answer

Here's another approach, very similar to swish's. The difference being that it should work on all sorts of plot ranges.

The idea is to define a ticks function with min_ and max_ (idea from Ticks in documentation):

ticks[min_, max_] := 
  Table[If[FractionalPart[i] == 0., {i, i, .06, Red}, {i, "", .02,Blue}], 
  {i, Floor[min], Ceiling[max], 0.1}]

Then the graph:

Plot[2*Sin[x], {x, -\[Pi], \[Pi]}, Frame -> True, 
  FrameTicks -> {ticks, ticks, False, False}, Axes -> True]

and we get:

enter image description here

we note that we could use any condition within the Table in ticks (e.g. use Switch or Which to get mid-ticks, etc.

Also, here is a version that let's the user specify ranges of noteworthy ticks directly:

r1 = Range[-3, 3, 0.2];

r2 = Range[-3, 3, 0.1];

tickfreq = 0.05;


ticks[min_, max_] := 
 Table[With[{val = Round[Abs@FractionalPart[i], 0.01]}, 
   Which[Chop[Min[Abs[r1 - val]]] == 0, {i, i, .06, Red}, 
    Chop[Min[Abs[r2 - val]]] == 0, {i, "", .04, Green}, 
    1 < 2, {i, "", .02, Blue}]], {i, Floor[min], Ceiling[max], 
   tickfreq}]

where tickfreq specifies the frequency of the blue (base-) ticks, r1 the red ticks (with labels), r2 the green additional ticks. Using then the PlotRange you specify in the comments, we get:

Plot[2*Sin[x], {x, -\[Pi], \[Pi]}, Frame -> True, 
 FrameTicks -> {ticks, ticks, False, False}, Axes -> True, 

 PlotRange -> {{-0.5, 3.5}, {-0.25, 0.3}}]

enter image description here

Alternatively, one could also use different ticks version for the axes, but I am sure you get the idea. I hope this helps.

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}]

plotting - Filling between two spheres in SphericalPlot3D

Manipulate[ SphericalPlot3D[{1, 2 - n}, {θ, 0, Pi}, {ϕ, 0, 1.5 Pi}, Mesh -> None, PlotPoints -> 15, PlotRange -> {-2.2, 2.2}], {n, 0, 1}] I cant' seem to be able to make a filling between two spheres. I've already tried the obvious Filling -> {1 -> {2}} but Mathematica doesn't seem to like that option. Is there any easy way around this or ... Answer There is no built-in filling in SphericalPlot3D . One option is to use ParametricPlot3D to draw the surfaces between the two shells: Manipulate[ Show[SphericalPlot3D[{1, 2 - n}, {θ, 0, Pi}, {ϕ, 0, 1.5 Pi}, PlotPoints -> 15, PlotRange -> {-2.2, 2.2}], ParametricPlot3D[{ r {Sin[t] Cos[1.5 Pi], Sin[t] Sin[1.5 Pi], Cos[t]}, r {Sin[t] Cos[0 Pi], Sin[t] Sin[0 Pi], Cos[t]}}, {r, 1, 2 - n}, {t, 0, Pi}, PlotStyle -> Yellow, Mesh -> {2, 15}]], {n, 0, 1}]

plotting - Mathematica: 3D plot based on combined 2D graphs

I have several sigmoidal fits to 3 different datasets, with mean fit predictions plus the 95% confidence limits (not symmetrical around the mean) and the actual data. I would now like to show these different 2D plots projected in 3D as in but then using proper perspective. In the link here they give some solutions to combine the plots using isometric perspective, but I would like to use proper 3 point perspective. Any thoughts? Also any way to show the mean points per time point for each series plus or minus the standard error on the mean would be cool too, either using points+vertical bars, or using spheres plus tubes. Below are some test data and the fit function I am using. Note that I am working on a logit(proportion) scale and that the final vertical scale is Log10(percentage). (* some test data *) data = Table[Null, {i, 4}]; data[[1]] = {{1, -5.8}, {2, -5.4}, {3, -0.8}, {4, -0.2}, {5, 4.6}, {1, -6.4}, {2, -5.6}, {3, -0.7}, {4, 0.04}, {5, 1.0}, {1, -6.8}, {2, -4.7}, {3, -1....
