Rasterized image together with vector-graphics axes


Following some of the questions here on Mathematica Stack Exchange, I am trying to export an image that contains a rasterized object and vector-graphics axes.



Here is an example:


myArray = Table[{x, y, RandomReal[]}, {x, 0, 100}, {y, 0, 100}];

size = 500;

myImage = 
 ListDensityPlot[Flatten[myArray, 1], Mesh -> 20, 
  ColorFunction -> "AvocadoColors", PerformanceGoal -> "Quality", 
  FrameLabel -> {"\[Mu]", "C"}, FrameStyle -> Directive[14], 
  ImageSize -> size];


img = Rasterize[Show[myImage, Frame -> None], ImageResolution -> 100, 
   ImageSize -> size];

g = Graphics[
  Inset[img, Scaled[{0.5, 0.5}], {Center, Center}, size], 
  AbsoluteOptions[myImage]]

Here is the result::


enter image description here



You can notice, if you compare with the original image, that the scaling of the inserted object is not correct.


Now two my questions:



  1. How to figure out the size of the object that I insert automatically. Here, if I replace size with 0.21 size I will get a correct image. Why is 0.21?

  2. Why the size of ticks and numbering does not coincide with the original image and how to fix it?



Answer



The main issue here is that once you rasterize, it no longer remembers the original ticks (or data points) and instead, you have pixels. You will need to map the pixels to the original ticks correctly for them to be aligned. Szabolcs wrote a rasterizeBackground function that keeps vectorized frames/ticks and only rasterizes the "image" part of the plot and shared it a few times in chat. I'll reproduce it here:


rasterizeBackground[g_, res_: 450] := 
 Show[Rasterize[

    Show[g, PlotRangePadding -> 0, ImagePadding -> 0, 
     ImageMargins -> 0, LabelStyle -> Opacity[0], 
     FrameTicksStyle -> Opacity[0], FrameStyle -> Opacity[0], 
     AxesStyle -> Opacity[0], TicksStyle -> Opacity[0], 
     PlotRangeClipping -> False], ImageResolution -> res] /. 
   Raster[data_, rect_, rest__] :> 
    Raster[data, 
     Transpose@OptionValue[AbsoluteOptions[g, PlotRange], PlotRange], 
     rest], Sequence @@ Options[g], Sequence @@ Options[g, PlotRange]]


Using the above, calling rasterizeBackground[myImage] (where myImage is as in the question) results in the following, which is what you were after (note: the desired resolution can be provided using the second argument).

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...

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-...
