plotting - TimelinePlot with data above and below the line


I have to do a talk about how simulation and testing are coming together. So I have been developing a historical list of events in simulation and events in testing (please add to them if you wish). The problem is I want to have the testing events above the timeline and the simulation events below the timeline. How do I do this?


Here are the two sets of data


test = {
   {{1947} -> "Flutter"},
   {{1940} -> "Tacoma Narrows"},
   {{1954} -> "Fatigue (Comet)"},
   {Interval[{{1912}, {2020}}] -> "Electronic Amplifiers"},
   {{1930} -> "Oscilloscope"},
   {Interval[{{1930}, {1985}}] -> "Analogue Testing"},

   {{1945} -> "Accelerometer"},
   {Interval[{{1985}, {2020}}] -> "Digital Testing"},
   {Interval[{{1975}, {2020}}] -> "Digital Signal Processing"},
   {{1965} -> "Fast Fourier Transform"},
   {Interval[{{1990}, {1986}}] -> "Codification of Testing"}
   }; 

simulation = {
   {Interval[{{1950}, {1990}}] -> "Main Frames"},
   {Interval[{{1900}, {1970}}] -> "Slide Rules"},

   {Interval[{{1970}, {1980}}] -> "Electronic Calculators"},
   {Interval[{{1985}, {2020}}] -> "Workstations"},
   {{1964} -> "NASTRAN"},
   {Interval[{{1983}, {2020}}] -> "NAFEMS"},
   {{1960} -> "Finite Element Analysis"},
   {{2006} -> "ASME Verification and Validation"}
   };

I can make individual plots


  TimelinePlot[test, AspectRatio -> 1/2, BaseStyle -> {FontSize -> 12}]

TimelinePlot[simulation, AspectRatio -> 1/2, 
 BaseStyle -> {FontSize -> 12}]

Mathematica graphics


What I want is a common timeline with the test items above the line and the simulation items below the line. How do I do this? Thanks



Answer



You could do something like this:


Show[
    TimelinePlot[#1,AxesOrigin->#2]&@@@{{test,Top},{simulation,Bottom}},
    AspectRatio->1/2,BaseStyle->{FontSize->12},

    PlotRange->All,Frame->False,Axes->{True,False}
    ]

enter image description here

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-...

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...

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...
