plotting - Make a density list plot/histogram from large, pre-binned data set?


I have a large data set consisting of $\mathcal{O}(10^9)$ two-dimensional points. In order to save memory and time I have pre-binned these into a uniform grid of $500 \times 500$ bins using Fortran. When imported into Mathematica 8.0 as a table the resulting data look like:



data = {{0.388348, 0.388349, 9},{0.388348, 0.776699, 23},...},



where the first two items of each entry correspond to the $x$-$y$-coordinates of the upper-right-hand corner of the bin and the third is the count.


Edit:





  • For a sample of the raw data, raw=RandomReal[1,{1000000000,2}] is a good approximation. This is obviously unworkable.




  • For the binned data: binned=Table[{.01*Ceiling[raw[[i,1]]/.01],.01*Ceiling[raw[[i,2]]/.01],RandomInteger[1000]},{i,1,250000}].




I would like to plot this pre-binned data set in the form of a DensityHistogram, but my data format doesn't fit into what this function is expecting. I have reviewed a similar question for one-dimensional histograms at Histograms with pre-counted data, however I'm at a loss as to how to apply this to 2-D. I have also looked at doing




Image[Rescale[data]]



on the raw data. However, this crashes immediately with a SIGSEGV error that has the Wolfram Support team puzzled. Consequently, I haven't gone very far down this road.


Edit:



  • I have also tried ListDensityPlot[data,InterpolationOrder->0]. For the full data set, Mathematica hangs for over 10 minutes, at which point it runs out of memory and the kernel shuts down. For a subset of the data, I get something more reasonable, but I would need some way to scale this up to $500^2$ data points.


Making these plots seem to be something that is fairly easily done in Matplotlib, but I have already made some other plots in Mathematica and don't want to mess with different styles. I'm fairly new to Mathematica and don't have a good knowledge of all the functionality, unfortunately.


So, how can I make a DensityHistogram when the bins and counts have already been calculated?

list manipulation - Selecting multiple columns from a matrix?

Sample data: data = { {{2013, 1, 1}, 24.13, 167.67, 231.82}, {{2013, 1, 2}, 32.15, 170.92, 225.99}, {{2013, 1, 3}, 35.43, 172.68, 221.67}, {{2013, 1, 4}, 36.73, 173.05, 218.32}, {{2013, 1, 5}, 58.19, 165.96, 197.05}, {{2013, 1, 6}, 69.99, 163.50, 187.52}, {{2013, 1, 7}, 71.37, 154.21, 175.58}, {{2013, 1, 8}, 72.51, 149.66, 163.25}}; I want a DateListPlot with three graphs, so for a matrix formed by columns 1 and 2, one for columns 1 and 3, and 1 for columns 1 and 4. At the moment I'm using this code: data2 = Transpose[{data[[All, 1]], data[[All, 2]]}]; data3 = Transpose[{data[[All, 1]], data[[All, 3]]}]; data4 = Transpose[{data[[All, 1]], data[[All, 4]]}]; DateListPlot[{data2, data3, data4}, Joined -> True, Filling -> {3 -> {1}}] but I have a hunch that this can be done more efficiently. I don't like the Transpose s in particular. Any ideas? edit (for extra credit) What if I need to multiply the second column by 2, which in my solution is simp...

plotting - How to draw lines between specified dots on ListPlot?

I would like to create a plot where I have unconnected dots and some connected. So far, I have figured out how to draw the dots. My code is the following: ListPlot[{{1, 1}, {2, 2}, {3, 3}, {4, 4}, {1, 4}, {2, 5}, {3, 6}, {4, 7}, {1, 7}, {2, 8}, {3, 9}, {4, 10}, {1, 10}, {2, 11}, {3, 12}, {4,13}, {2.5, 7}}, Ticks -> {{1, 2, 3, 4}, None}, AxesStyle -> Thin, TicksStyle -> Directive[Black, Bold, 12], Mesh -> Full] I have thought using ListLinePlot command, but I don't know how to specify to the command to draw only selected lines between the dots. Do have any suggestions/hints on how to do that? Thank you. Answer One possibility would be to use Epilog with Line : ListPlot[ {{1, 1}, {2, 2}, {3, 3}, {4, 4}, {1, 4}, {2, 5}, {3, 6}, {4, 7}, {1, 7}, {2, 8}, {3, 9}, {4, 10}, {1, 10}, {2, 11}, {3, 12}, {4, 13}, {2.5, 7}}, Ticks -> {{1, 2, 3, 4}, None}, AxesStyle -> Thin, TicksStyle -> Directive[Black, Bold, 12], Mesh -> Full, Epilog -> { Line[ ...

dynamic - How can I make a clickable ArrayPlot that returns input?

I would like to create a dynamic ArrayPlot so that the rectangles, when clicked, provide the input. Can I use ArrayPlot for this? Or is there something else I should have to use? Answer ArrayPlot is much more than just a simple array like Grid : it represents a ranged 2D dataset, and its visualization can be finetuned by options like DataReversed and DataRange . These features make it quite complicated to reproduce the same layout and order with Grid . Here I offer AnnotatedArrayPlot which comes in handy when your dataset is more than just a flat 2D array. The dynamic interface allows highlighting individual cells and possibly interacting with them. AnnotatedArrayPlot works the same way as ArrayPlot and accepts the same options plus Enabled , HighlightCoordinates , HighlightStyle and HighlightElementFunction . data = {{Missing["HasSomeMoreData"], GrayLevel[ 1], {RGBColor[0, 1, 1], RGBColor[0, 0, 1], GrayLevel[1]}, RGBColor[0, 1, 0]}, {GrayLevel[0], GrayLevel...
