plotting - changing line style from solid to dashed after an intersection


I used this link: Plot that draws a dashed/solid curve depending on the y-value of the curve to help me start this. I have two lines. I want to change from solid to dashed after an intersection. The line with higher slope will have dashed line AFTER the intersection and the line with lower slope will have dashed line BEFORE the intersection. These two lines should be red and blue.



Here is what I have done so far...


In[289]:= y1 = 1.44; y2 = 27.9 - 16000 x;
intercept = x /. Solve[y1 == y2, x][[1]]

Out[290]= 0.00165375

The plot...


Plot[{y1, y2}, {x, .0014, .0019}, PlotRange -> All, 
MeshFunctions -> {#1 &},
Mesh -> {{0.0014, intercept}, {intercept, 0.0019}},

MeshShading -> {Blue, Directive[Blue, Dashed]}, MeshStyle -> None]

Here was the result...

Not sure how to fix this. Please help me.



Answer



If you're not wed to Mesh, it might be easier for you to accomplish what you're looking for with just having multiple functions, ala:


Plot[{ If[intercept > x, y1, None], If[intercept < x, y1, None],
If[intercept > x, y2, None], If[intercept < x, y2, None]} //
Evaluate, {x, .0014, .0019}, PlotRange -> All,

PlotStyle -> {{Blue, Dashed}, {Blue}, {Red}, {Red, Dashed}},
Axes -> False, Frame -> True,
Epilog -> {PointSize[1/40], Gray, Point[{intercept, y1}]}]

yielding

(if you hate the dot get rid of the epilog)




Update riffing off your previous question re: Callouts, can combine as, e.g.


{f1, f2, f3, f4} = { If[intercept > x, y1, None], 

If[intercept < x, y1, None],
If[intercept > x, y2, None], If[intercept < x, y2, None]};

xRange = {.0014, .0019}; yRange = {-3, 8};

Plot[ {Callout[f1, "labelY1", {0.001775`, 3.64`}, {0.00174`, 1.754`}],
f2, f3,
Callout[f4, "labelY2", {0.001525`, 5.7`}, {0.00156`, 3.3142`}]} //
Evaluate, Prepend[x][xRange],
PlotStyle -> {{Blue, Dashed}, {Blue}, {Red}, {Red, Dashed}},

PlotRange -> yRange, Axes -> False, Frame -> True]

yielding:

plotting - Filling between two spheres in SphericalPlot3D

Manipulate[ SphericalPlot3D[{1, 2 - n}, {θ, 0, Pi}, {ϕ, 0, 1.5 Pi}, Mesh -> None, PlotPoints -> 15, PlotRange -> {-2.2, 2.2}], {n, 0, 1}] I cant' seem to be able to make a filling between two spheres. I've already tried the obvious Filling -> {1 -> {2}} but Mathematica doesn't seem to like that option. Is there any easy way around this or ... Answer There is no built-in filling in SphericalPlot3D . One option is to use ParametricPlot3D to draw the surfaces between the two shells: Manipulate[ Show[SphericalPlot3D[{1, 2 - n}, {θ, 0, Pi}, {ϕ, 0, 1.5 Pi}, PlotPoints -> 15, PlotRange -> {-2.2, 2.2}], ParametricPlot3D[{ r {Sin[t] Cos[1.5 Pi], Sin[t] Sin[1.5 Pi], Cos[t]}, r {Sin[t] Cos[0 Pi], Sin[t] Sin[0 Pi], Cos[t]}}, {r, 1, 2 - n}, {t, 0, Pi}, PlotStyle -> Yellow, Mesh -> {2, 15}]], {n, 0, 1}]

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}]

plotting - Mathematica: 3D plot based on combined 2D graphs

I have several sigmoidal fits to 3 different datasets, with mean fit predictions plus the 95% confidence limits (not symmetrical around the mean) and the actual data. I would now like to show these different 2D plots projected in 3D as in but then using proper perspective. In the link here they give some solutions to combine the plots using isometric perspective, but I would like to use proper 3 point perspective. Any thoughts? Also any way to show the mean points per time point for each series plus or minus the standard error on the mean would be cool too, either using points+vertical bars, or using spheres plus tubes. Below are some test data and the fit function I am using. Note that I am working on a logit(proportion) scale and that the final vertical scale is Log10(percentage). (* some test data *) data = Table[Null, {i, 4}]; data[[1]] = {{1, -5.8}, {2, -5.4}, {3, -0.8}, {4, -0.2}, {5, 4.6}, {1, -6.4}, {2, -5.6}, {3, -0.7}, {4, 0.04}, {5, 1.0}, {1, -6.8}, {2, -4.7}, {3, -1.
