plotting - Is it possible to substitute tick labels with alternative text?

I am making a MatrixPlot. For example, consider the following:



list = {{1, 1, 0, 1}, {0, 0, 1, 1}, {1, 0, 1, 0}};
MatrixPlot[list]

which yields:


MatrixPlot


But now suppose I want to label the axes with other numbers. For example, I would like to label the ticks on the horizontal axis as 101, 167, 188, 205 (as they are not now), and the ticks on the vertical axis as 1, 2, 3 (as they already are). I know this is a strange request, but it is because I would like to label the horizontal axis according to "particle number" (which is an integer in my application).


Or maybe a better way to phrase the question is, is it possible to label axis/frame ticks with any arbitrary string (for example, labeling the horizontal axis with "Alice", "Bob", "Carla", and "David")? One possibility seems like FrameTicks, but I can't seem to figure out if it can be used to map strings.


If I use


list = {{1, 1, 0, 1}, {0, 0, 1, 1}, {1, 0, 1, 0}};
MatrixPlot[list,

FrameTicks -> {{{1, 2, 3}, None}, {{101, 167, 188, 205}, None}}]

I get:


MatrixPlot


because, of course, FrameTicks thinks I'm referring to which discrete values to label.


Also, if I try:


list = {{1, 1, 0, 1}, {0, 0, 1, 1}, {1, 0, 1, 0}};
MatrixPlot[list,
FrameTicks -> {{{1, 2, 3}, None}, {{"101", "167", "188", "205"},
None}}]


I get "Not a valid tick specification."


Do you have any other ideas?



Answer



try this


 MatrixPlot[list,  
FrameTicks -> {
{{1, 2, 3}, None}, {{{1, 101}, {2, 167}, {3, 188}, {4, 205}}, {{1, "Alice"}, {2,"Bob"}}}
}]

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-...

How to thread a list

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[ ...
