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]
}]

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-...

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...
