plotting - Plot legend doesn't appear like it should be


I constructed a plot with extra legends generated using dashed function but customarily defined legend doesn't look like plot:



Y1 = Sin[x]; Y2 = Cos[x]; Y3 = Sin[2*x] + Sin[5*x]; Y4 = 
 Sin[7*x]; Y5 = Sin[9*x];
 Plot[{Y1, Y2, Y3, Y4, Y5}, {x, 0, 15}, Frame -> True, 
 PlotRange -> {{0, 15}, All}, Axes -> {True, True}, 
 PlotLegends -> {Style["Y1", Plain, FontFamily -> Helvetica, 22], 
 Style["Y2", Plain, FontFamily -> Helvetica, 22], 
 Style["Y3", Plain, FontFamily -> Helvetica, 22], 
 Style["Y4", Plain, FontFamily -> Helvetica, 22], 
 Style["Y5", Plain, FontFamily -> Helvetica, 22]}, 
 AxesOrigin -> {0, -1}, AxesStyle -> Dashed, 

 FrameLabel -> {"r [\[Mu]m]", 
 "T [\!\(\*SuperscriptBox[\(\[InvisiblePrefixScriptBase]\), \(0\)]\
 \)C]"}, BaseStyle -> {FontSize -> 22, FontWeight -> Plain, 
 FontFamily -> Helvetica}, 
 PlotStyle -> {Directive[Orange, Thick], 
 Directive[Dashed, Red, Thick], 
 Directive[Dashing[{0.025, 0.01, 0.025, 0.01}], Purple, Thick], 
 Directive[Black, 
 Dashing[{0.025, 0.005, 0.025, 0.005, 0.005, 0.005, 0.005, 
 0.005}], Thick], 

 Directive[Blue, Dashing[{0.025, 0.01, 0.005, 0.01}], Thick]}, 
 ImageSize -> 500]

enter image description here Note legend 3,4,5 are not like the plot or defining parameters.



Answer



I think that the lengths of the LegendMarkers just need to be increased.


Y1 = Sin[x]; Y2 = Cos[x]; Y3 = Sin[2*x] + Sin[5*x]; Y4 = Sin[7*x]; Y5 = Sin[9*x];
Plot[{Y1, Y2, Y3, Y4, Y5}, {x, 0, 15}, Frame -> True, 
 PlotRange -> {{0, 15}, All}, Axes -> {True, True},
 BaseStyle -> {FontSize -> 22, FontWeight -> Plain, FontFamily -> Helvetica},

 PlotLegends -> LineLegend[(Style[#, 22] &) /@ {"Y1", "Y2", "Y3", "Y4", "Y5"},
   LegendMarkerSize -> 75],
 AxesOrigin -> {0, -1}, AxesStyle -> Dashed,
 FrameLabel -> {"r [μm]", "T \!\(\*SuperscriptBox[\([\), \(o\)]\)C]"},
 PlotStyle -> {{Orange, Thick},
   {Dashed, Red, Thick},
   {Dashing[{0.025, 0.01, 0.025, 0.01}], Purple, Thick},
   {Black, Dashing[{0.025, 0.005, 0.025, 0.005, 0.005, 0.005, 0.005, 0.005}], Thick},
   {Blue, Dashing[{0.025, 0.01, 0.005, 0.01}], Thick}}, 
 ImageSize -> 500]


Plot with larger legend marker lengths


Update


Given your comment below about being good for a research article and if you really had to stick to a single figure, I would just use solid lines of varying thickness and color contrasts. Here's an example (and certainly not the best choice):


Plot[{Y1, Y2, Y3, Y4, Y5}, {x, 0, 15}, Frame -> True, 
 PlotRange -> {{0, 15}, All}, Axes -> {True, True}, 
 BaseStyle -> {FontSize -> 22, FontWeight -> Plain, FontFamily -> Helvetica}, 
 PlotLegends -> (Style[#, 22] &) /@ {"Y1", "Y2", "Y3", "Y4", "Y5"}, 
 AxesOrigin -> {0, -1}, AxesStyle -> Dashed, 
 FrameLabel -> {"r [\[Mu]m]", "T \!\(\*SuperscriptBox[\([\), \(o\)]\)C]"}, 

 PlotStyle -> {{Green, Thickness[0.01]}, {Blue, Thickness[0.01]}, 
   {Purple, Thick}, {Red, Thick}, {Cyan, Thick}}, 
 ImageSize -> 500]

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...

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...

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}]
