plotting - LogLogPlot plugs in zero

Bug introduced in 10.0 and fixed in 10.0.2

In testing the answers to Plot result of non analytical-integral in V10.0.1, I came across this behavior of LogLogPlot. All three version give the correct plot, but the first two give error messages.

ClearAll[f1, f2, f3, x];
k = 1/x;

kfn[x_?NumericQ] := 1/x;
f1[x_?NumericQ] := NIntegrate[k*y, {y, 0, 1}];       (* kludgy *)
f2[x_?NumericQ] := NIntegrate[kfn[x]*y, {y, 0, 1}];  (* correct way, but gives errors *)
f3[x_?Positive] := NIntegrate[k*y, {y, 0, 1}];       (* also correct and no errors *)

LogLogPlot[f1[x], {x, 1, 10}]
LogLogPlot[f2[x], {x, 1, 10}]
LogLogPlot[f3[x], {x, 1, 10}]

The first two give the message (twice):

NIntegrate::inumr: The integrand y/x has evaluated to non-numerical values for all sampling points in the region with boundaries {{0,1}}. >>

The second gives an additional message (twice):

Power::infy: Infinite expression 1/0 encountered. >>

Why does this happen? Is this a bug?

Notes: (1) It does not happen on V9. I seem to recall this coming up before (years ago). If folks have earlier versions, please test the code above. (2) Reported to WRI. (3) WRI confirmed it in 10.0.1 and stated it was resolved in 10.0.2.

Answer

The issue in V10.0.1 is that LogLogPlot uses x = 0 as a test point, instead of a value inside the specified plot domain.

The issue is resolved in V10.0.2.

Confirmed by WRI.

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

I have data in format data = {{a1, a2}, {b1, b2}, {c1, c2}, {d1, d2}} Tableform: I want to thread it to : tdata = {{{a1, b1}, {a2, b2}}, {{a1, c1}, {a2, c2}}, {{a1, d1}, {a2, d2}}} Tableform: And I would like to do better then pseudofunction[n_] := Transpose[{data2[[1]], data2[[n]]}]; SetAttributes[pseudofunction, Listable]; Range[2, 4] // pseudofunction Here is my benchmark data, where data3 is normal sample of real data. data3 = Drop[ExcelWorkBook[[Column1 ;; Column4]], None, 1]; data2 = {a #, b #, c #, d #} & /@ Range[1, 10^5]; data = RandomReal[{0, 1}, {10^6, 4}]; Here is my benchmark code kptnw[list_] := Transpose[{Table[First@#, {Length@# - 1}], Rest@#}, {3, 1, 2}] &@list kptnw2[list_] := Transpose[{ConstantArray[First@#, Length@# - 1], Rest@#}, {3, 1, 2}] &@list OleksandrR[list_] := Flatten[Outer[List, List@First[list], Rest[list], 1], {{2}, {1, 4}}] paradox2[list_] := Partition[Riffle[list[[1]], #], 2] & /@ Drop[list, 1] RM[list_] := FoldList[Transpose[{First@li...

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[ ...
