plotting - Using RegionFunction on multiple plots


I realize that the Plot function can plot multiple functions of x at the same time, using { }. I also know that the RegionFunction option is used to specify the particular region of the domain that you want plotted. My query is whether I can combine the two together and use different RegionFunctions on different functions of the same parent Plot statement, plotting multiple conditional functions rather than a whole domain:


$$f(x) =\begin{cases} 2\sqrt{x} & \text{if } 0\leq x \leq1 \\ 4-2x & \text{if } 1


Answer



You can use Show to combine graphics of the same type:


g1 = Plot3D[x^2 - y^2, {x, -3, 3}, {y, -3, 3}, 
  RegionFunction -> Function[{x, y, z}, 2 < x^2 + y^2 < 9]];

g2 = SphericalPlot3D[
  1 + Sin[5 θ] Sin[5 φ]/5, {θ, 0, π}, {φ, 0, 2 π}, 
  Mesh -> None, RegionFunction -> (#6 > 0.95 &), PlotStyle -> FaceForm[Orange, Yellow]];

Show[g1, g2]


Mathematica graphics



Here is one way that you might construct a compound graphic:


funcs = {x^2 - y^2, Sin[x]^2 + 2 Cos[y]^2};

regions = {Function[{x, y, z}, 1 < x^2 + y^2 < 5], 
           Function[{x, y, z}, 2 < x^2 + y^2 < 9]};

styles = {Red, Green};


MapThread[
  Plot3D[#, {x, -3, 3}, {y, -3, 3}, RegionFunction -> #2, PlotStyle -> #3] &,
  {funcs, regions, styles}
] // Show

Mathematica graphics



You may also find utility in Piecewise:


pw = Piecewise[{

       {2 Sqrt[x],   0 <= x <= 1  },
       {4 - 2 x  ,   1 <  x <  2.5},
       {2 x - 7  , 2.5 <= x <= 4  }
      }, Indeterminate]

Plot[pw, {x, -1, 5}]

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...

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...

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-...
