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}
 ]

functions - Get leading series expansion term?

Given a function f[x] , I would like to have a function leadingSeries that returns just the leading term in the series around x=0 . For example: leadingSeries[(1/x + 2)/(4 + 1/x^2 + x)] x and leadingSeries[(1/x + 2 + (1 - 1/x^3)/4)/(4 + x)] -(1/(16 x^3)) Is there such a function in Mathematica? Or maybe one can implement it efficiently? EDIT I finally went with the following implementation, based on Carl Woll 's answer: lds[ex_,x_]:=( (ex/.x->(x+O[x]^2))/.SeriesData[U_,Z_,L_List,Mi_,Ma_,De_]:>SeriesData[U,Z,{L[[1]]},Mi,Mi+1,De]//Quiet//Normal) The advantage is, that this one also properly works with functions whose leading term is a constant: lds[Exp[x],x] 1 Answer Update 1 Updated to eliminate SeriesData and to not return additional terms Perhaps you could use: leadingSeries[expr_, x_] := Normal[expr /. x->(x+O[x]^2) /. a_List :> Take[a, 1]] Then for your examples: leadingSeries[(1/x + 2)/(4 + 1/x^2 + x), x] leadingSeries[Exp[x], x] leadingSeries[(1/x + 2 + (1 - 1/x...

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-...
