plotting - Labelling ArrayPlot Charts


I have been using ArrayPlot to show off some information. Currently, my datasets are like so:


data1={2, 6, 3, 4, 8, 5, 13, 11, 33, 21, 29, 21, 42, 29, 36};
data2={0, 1, 9, 1, 3, 0, 5, 3, 20, 16, 4, 13, 7, 10, 7};
data3={10, 3, 2, 0, 2, 1, 0, 0, 14, 2, 1, 12, 6, 0, 10};
data4={0, 0, 0, 2, 0, 1, 4, 0, 0, 4, 0, 4, 1, 3, 2};
data5={0, 3, 0, 3, 0, 0, 0, 3, 3, 2, 1, 14, 4, 2, 4};


etc.


The plot command


ArrayPlot[{globeCHR, starCHR, telegramCHR, gazetteCHR, citizenCHR}, 
 FrameTicks -> All]

reveals the following:

So far so good - it vividly shows what I am trying to visualize.


The problem comes with the following. I would like to give my datasets along the y axis names: i.e. instead of "1" it might say "Cats" and instead of "2" it might say "Dogs." Similarly, the bottom axis needs to go from 1997 to 2010 (years).



I have generated a list of the years as such yearlist = Range[1997, 2011, 1], which lines up in length to the datasets. Matched pairs of data created by Transpose@ the two lists hasn't worked either..


Would there be a way to have the x axis demonstrate the text of the datasets, and the y axis show the data progressing from the year 1997 to 2010? Thank you very much.



Answer



The FrameTicks should be entered in the following format:


FrameTicks->{
    {{ytick1, yvalue1}, {ytick2, yvalue2},...}, 
    {{xtick1, xvalue1}, {xtick2, xvalue2},...}
}

So here's an example for your case that shows how to label the ticks:



xticks = Transpose[{Range@15, Range[1997, 2011]}];
yticks = Transpose[{Range@5, {"Cats", "Dogs", "Sheep", "Frogs", "Mice"}}];
ArrayPlot[RandomReal[1, {5, 15}], FrameTicks -> {yticks, xticks}]

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-...
