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 - 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[ ...

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...

calculus and analysis - Integral of the Sinc product

Let us consider the following integral $$ B_n = \int_0^\infty \prod_{k=1,3,5,\dots}^n\frac{\sin (x/k)}{x/k}dx $$ By definition, Sinc[x] == Sin[x]/x , therefore B[n_?OddQ] := Integrate[Product[Sinc[x/k], {k, 1, n, 2}], {x, 0, Infinity}] B /@ Range[1, 13, 2] {Pi/2, Pi/2, Pi/2, Pi/2, Pi/2, Pi/2, Pi/2} OK, everything is fine. But... B[15] 467807924713440738696537864469 Pi/935615849440640907310521750000 What's going on? Answer As Eckhard wrote in comments B[n] is the n-th Borwein integral . (The letter B was not accidental :) ) This funny properties of Borwein integrals is related to the Fourier transform of Sinc function FourierTransform[Sinc[x], x, k] 1/2 Sqrt[Pi/2] (Sign[1 - k] + Sign[1 + k]) Plot[%, {k, -2, 2}, Filling -> 0] which is the box function. The result is $\pi/2$ while the sum $$ 1/3+1/5+\dots+1/n $$ B_n = \frac{\pi}{2} - \pi \bigg(\sum_{k=3,5,\ldots}^n\frac{1}{k} -1\biggr)^\frac{n-1}{2}\prod_{k=3,5,\dots}^n\frac{k}{k-1}. $$ For $n=15$ it is equal to $$ \frac{46780...
