plotting - ArrayPlot and non-integer PlotRange


There seems to weird bug regarding non-integer PlotRange in ArrayPlot. For example...


ArrayPlot[
   Table[Sin[x/50 π] Tanh[y/50 π], {y, 100}, {x, 100}],
   DataRange -> {{0, 1}, {0, 1}},
   PlotRange -> {{0, 1}, {0.5, .9}}
]


gives an error:



Value of option PlotRange -> {{0,1},{0.5,0.9}} is not All, Full, Automatic, a positive machine number, or an appropriate list of range specifications.



The same code works, if one of the plot range parameters for y-axes is turned into an integer.


Did I do smth wrong? Is there a workaround?


I need to use array plot as ListContourPlot is too slow for large datasets and MatrixPlot has the same problem.


I am using Mathematica 8 64 bit version on linux.


Edit


After some more testing I see, that it works whenever PlotRange includes at least one integer. For example PlotRange -> {{0, 1}, {0.5, 1.2}} works as it includes 1. So one possible workaround is just to scale the range, such that max-min would be larger than 1.



But I am still looking forward, if anyone finds a way to have shorter than 1 range on the axes. Dirty way would be just using manual 'Ticks'.


Edit 2


Possible workaround.


As I wrote in the previous edit, it works, then the range includes at least one integer. So one could just scale the range. Here is a naive hard-coded example how it might be done.


ArrayPlot[
   Table[Sin[x/50 π] Tanh[y/50 π], {y, 100}, {x, 100}],
   DataRange -> {{0, 1}, {0, 1} 10}, 
   PlotRange -> {{0, 1}, {0.1, 0.8} 10}, 
   FrameTicks -> {Table[{y, ToString[y/10 // N]}, {y, 1, 8, 1}], 
   Table[{x, ToString[x // N]}, {x, 0, 1, 0.25}]}, 

   AspectRatio -> 1
]

This means that I have bypassed the only side-effect of scaling the range, which is messing up the tick labels.


I would submit it as a solution, when I have waited my 8 hours and there is no nicer one proposed.



Answer



Here is a workaround that works in V7,8,9,10 (the underlying problem persists):


Show[
 ArrayPlot[
  Table[Sin[x/50 π] Tanh[y/50 π], {y, 100}, {x, 100}], 

  DataRange -> {{0, 1}, {0, 1}}],
 PlotRange -> {{0, 1}, {0.5, .9}}, FrameTicks -> All]

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}]
