plotting - ListLogLogPlot with ErrorBars


I have the following data consisting of x, y pairs and errors of y:


dataWithError = {{0.0333333, 0.0000122672, 0.00000173485}, {0.05, 0.0000371462, 
0.00000448037}, {0.0666667, 0.0000697768, 0.00000748151},
{0.0833333, 0.000108625, 0.000010837}, {0.1, 0.000147595,

0.0000136051}, {0.116667, 0.000186599, 0.0000161483},
{0.133333, 0.000221451, 0.0000179078}, {0.15, 0.000253062, 0.0000192494}};

I can plot the data with error bars with:


ErrorListPlot[dataWithError, Joined -> True, PlotRange -> Full]

The result is:

I need a ListLogLogPlot with error bars (both axes have to be logarithmic). How can that be done?



Answer




You can always perform coordinate transformation yourself. There is nothing so special about LogLogPlot. You have to apply Log to your points and plot it with regular ErrorListPlot. Keep in mind that your error bar won't be symmetric in log-log coordinates. After that you have to draw ticks according to your new scale.


This can be overkill for log-log case, but it gives you generic algorithm how to torture your axes any way you want.


Needs["ErrorBarPlots`"]

plotrange={Floor@Log10@Min[#],Ceiling@Log10@Max[#]}&@dataWithError[[All,#]]&/@{1,2};
logData={{Log10[#[[1]]],Log10[#[[2]]]},ErrorBar[Log10[1+0.5#]&/@{-#[[3]]/#[[2]],#[[3]]/#[[2]]} ] }&/@dataWithError;
xticks = {#,Superscript[10,#]}&/@Range[#1,#2,1]&@@plotrange[[1]];
yticks = {#,Superscript[10,#]}&/@Range[#1,#2,1]&@@plotrange[[2]];
{xt,yt}=#~Join~({#,""}&/@Flatten[(#[[1]]+Log10[{2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9}])&/@#])&/@{xticks,yticks};


ErrorListPlot[logData, Joined -> True, PlotRange->plotrange,FrameTicks->{{yt,None},{xt,None}},Frame->True,Axes->False]

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-...

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...
