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]
  }]

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...

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...

plotting - Plot 4D data with color as 4th dimension

I have a list of 4D data (x position, y position, amplitude, wavelength). I want to plot x, y, and amplitude on a 3D plot and have the color of the points correspond to the wavelength. I have seen many examples using functions to define color but my wavelength cannot be expressed by an analytic function. Is there a simple way to do this? Answer Here a another possible way to visualize 4D data: data = Flatten[Table[{x, y, x^2 + y^2, Sin[x - y]}, {x, -Pi, Pi,Pi/10}, {y,-Pi,Pi, Pi/10}], 1]; You can use the function Point along with VertexColors . Now the points are places using the first three elements and the color is determined by the fourth. In this case I used Hue, but you can use whatever you prefer. Graphics3D[ Point[data[[All, 1 ;; 3]], VertexColors -> Hue /@ data[[All, 4]]], Axes -> True, BoxRatios -> {1, 1, 1/GoldenRatio}]
