plotting - How to plot a barycentric line


I want to plot a barycentric function on an equilateral triangle (ternary plot). For example


f1 = {Abs[Sin[x]], Mod[x, 2], Abs[Cos[x]]};

At the moment I evaluate a list of data points and join them with a line


Show[{b3["PlotAxis"],ListPlot[b3["Data"][Range[0,100,1/#],f1],Joined->True]}]&/@{1,10,100}


enter image description here


Where b3 is:


b3 = GetBarycentric[3];
b3["Axis"] = {{1/2, Sqrt[3]/2}, {1, 0}, {0, 0}};
b3["Convert"][{a_, b_, c_}, axis_: b3["Axis"]] := Module[{
    abc = {a, b, c}, sum = Total[{a, b, c}]},
   Piecewise[{{ (axis[[1]] a + axis[[2]] b)/sum, sum > 0}, {axis[[2]], sum <= 0}}]];
b3["Data"][values_, rlines_] := b3["Convert"][#] & /@ Transpose[rlines /. x -> values]
b3["PlotAxis"] := Graphics[{Thin, Line[{#1, #2, #3, #1}]}] & @@ b3["Axis"];


I can not use listplots 'Joined->True', because lines are intermittent.

How can I transform the function and plot it?



Answer



A ternary plot is a plot on the nonnegative unit simplex in $\mathbb{R}^3$, so apply an affine change of basis (and rescale f1 to be sure its values lie on the simplex):


ClearAll[f1];
f1[x_] := {Abs[Sin[x]], Mod[x, 2], Abs[Cos[x]]};

With[{xyToTernary = {{0, 1, 1/2}, {0, 0, Sqrt[3]/2}}}, 
 ParametricPlot[xyToTernary . (f1[x] / Total[f1[x]]), {x, 1, 3^5}, 

  AxesOrigin -> {0, 0}, PlotRange -> {0, 1}, 
  Prolog -> {White, EdgeForm[Black], Polygon[{{0, 0}, {1, 0}, {1/2, Sqrt[3]/2}}]}]
 ]

Plot


Due to the nature of your function, it would be a good idea to break it at integral values of x by including the option Exclusions -> Range[3^5]:


Plot 2


If you would like to visualize the 3D to 2D relationship inherent in these plots, you can ask Mathematica to do the projecting for you (but the 2D quality is degraded):


Show[
 Graphics3D[{White, EdgeForm[Black], Polygon[{{1, 0, 0}, {0, 1, 0}, {0, 0, 1}}]},  

  ViewVector -> {1, 1, 1}, ViewPoint -> {-8, -8, -8}, 
  ViewVertical -> {0, 0, 1}, ViewCenter -> {1/3, 1/3, 1/3}, 
  ViewAngle -> \[Pi]/2,  Lighting -> {{"Ambient", White}}],
 ParametricPlot3D[f1[x] / Total[f1[x]], {x, 1, 3^5}, 
  Exclusions -> Range[3^5]], Axes -> {True, True, True}
 ]

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...
