plotting - Match colors to plot themes


How do I get the colors to match the plot theme when I use a PlotLegend that is separate to the plots? I have had a look at How to access new colour schemes in version 10? but can't seem to find what I need. Here is some data and an array of plots.


Initialization


data1 = 
{Table[{x, Sin[x]}, {x, 0, 2 π, 0.1}],
Table[{x, Sin[2 x]}, {x, 0, 2 π, 0.1}],
Table[{x, Sin[3 x]}, {x, 0, 2 π, 0.1}]};

data2 =

{Table[{x, BesselJ[1, x]}, {x, 0, 2 π, 0.1}],
Table[{x, BesselJ[2, 2 x]}, {x, 0, 2 π, 0.1}],
Table[{x, BesselJ[3, 3 x]}, {x, 0, 2 π, 0.1}]};

data3 =
{Table[{x, BesselJ[4, x]}, {x, 0, 2 π, 0.1}],
Table[{x, BesselJ[5, 2 x]}, {x, 0, 2 π, 0.1}],
Table[{x, BesselJ[6, 3 x]}, {x, 0, 2 π, 0.1}]};

data4 =

{Table[{x, BesselJ[7, x]}, {x, 0, 2 π, 0.1}],
Table[{x, BesselJ[8, 2 x]}, {x, 0, 2 π, 0.1}],
Table[{x, BesselJ[9, 3 x]}, {x, 0, 2 π, 0.1}]};

opts =
{Frame -> True, Axes -> False,
FrameLabel -> {"Time/s", "Pressure/Pa"}, ImageSize -> 280,
BaseStyle -> {FontFamily -> "Times", FontSize -> 12},
PlotTheme -> "Scientific"};


Result


Column[
{Row[
{Style["Data from experiment 5B", FontFamily -> "Times",
FontSize -> 12]}, Alignment -> Center, ImageSize -> (4 + 4 + 0.5) 72],
Row[
{ListLinePlot[data1, opts], Spacer[0.5 72], ListLinePlot[data2, opts]}],
Row[
{ListLinePlot[data3, opts], Spacer[0.5 72], ListLinePlot[data4, opts]}],
Row[

{LineLegend[{Red, Blue, Green},
{"x-direction", "y-direction ", "z-direction"},
LegendLayout -> "Row", LabelStyle -> {FontFamily -> "Times", FontSize -> 12}]},
Alignment -> Center, ImageSize -> (4 + 4 + 0.5) 72]}
]

Mathematica graphics


My problem is that I have the wrong colors in the caption. How do I pick up the colors of the PlotTheme? I am using rows and columns rather than GraphicsGrid because I need to use the "Get Coordinates" feature using the right mouse click. Graphics grid does not permit this for individual graphs.



Answer



Use



colors=(("DefaultPlotStyle"/.(Method /. 
Charting`ResolvePlotTheme["Scientific" , ListLinePlot]))/. Directive[x_,__]:>x)

to get the colors used in the "Scientific" plot theme. Then use colors as the first argument of LineLegend:


Column[{
Row[{Style["Data from experiment 5B", FontFamily -> "Times",
FontSize -> 12]}, Alignment -> Center,
ImageSize -> (4 + 4 + 0.5) 72],
Row[{ListLinePlot[data1, opts], Spacer[0.5 72],
ListLinePlot[data2, opts]}],

Row[{ListLinePlot[data3, opts], Spacer[0.5 72],
ListLinePlot[data4, opts]}],
Row[{LineLegend[colors, {"x-direction", "y-direction ",
"z-direction"}, LegendLayout -> "Row",
LabelStyle -> {FontFamily -> "Times", FontSize -> 12}]},
Alignment -> Center, ImageSize -> (4 + 4 + 0.5) 72]
}]

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[ ...

equation solving - Invert and fit implicitly defined curve

I need to fit an implicitly defined curve. I thought I could get some data out of Solve , and then using FindFit . Therefore, I would like to find the relation the parametric curve defined by $F(x,y)=0$: Solve[-(1/2) + 1/2 (0.41202 BesselK[0, 0.1 Sqrt[x^2 + y^2]] + (0.101483 x BesselK[1, 0.1 Sqrt[x^2 + y^2]])/Sqrt[x^2 + y^2]) == 0, y] But I can't get an output: Solve was unable to solve the system with inexact coefficients or the system obtained by direct rationalization of inexact numbers present in the system. Since many of the methods used by Solve require exact input, providing Solve with an exact version of the system may help. >> Edit: In particular, I would like to fit the data coming from the curve with the expression of another curve, and not with a function $f(x)$. In particular, since this clearly looks like a cardioid , I would like it to fit to something like it. What other strategies could I try?

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...
