plotting - Filling option failing when ListLinePlot given my data


Context


I want to do Filled plot such as:


dat1 = {Table[{i^2, i + 1}, {i, 5}], Table[{i^2, i}, {i, 5}]}
ListLinePlot[dat1, PlotStyle -> Red, Filling -> {1 -> {2}}]

Mathematica graphics



But when I apply this to my own data:


dat = 
{
{{3.0779456558039593`, 3.842486584798708`},
{1.2951669675555262`, 4.05402324780319`},
{0.9196161755899819`, 3.939944632202657`},
{0.5722748507275665`, 3.8875332289711`},
{0.29373287932080444`, 3.7317102841786385`}},
{{3.0779456558039593`, 7.125115694053534`},
{1.2951669675555262`, 5.8724983311100605`},

{0.9196161755899819`, 5.707473500231869`},
{0.5722748507275665`, 5.114513590881306`},
{0.29373287932080444`, 4.240800591615147`}}
}

It fails to fill the region:


ListLinePlot[dat, PlotStyle -> Red, Filling -> {1 -> {2}}]

Mathematica graphics


Question




Am I missing something obvious?




Answer



The cause is your data is out of order. So, the workaround is


ListLinePlot[SortBy[First] /@ dat, PlotStyle -> Red, 
Filling -> {1 -> {2}}]

enter image description here


I believe it is not a bug. Or, at least, it is an issue that is tangentially discussed in the ListLinePlot documentation. So, while this is certainly disconcerting to see, unusual behavior with unsorted data is expected.

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...

How to thread a list

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-...
