list manipulation - How to use Map inside MapThread?


Given this input



lst1 = {{a, b, c}, {d, e, f}};
lst2 = {1, 2};

and the goal is to generate this output


{  {{1, a}, {1, b}, {1, c}}, 
{{2, d}, {2, e}, {2, f}}
}

Perfect candidate for MapThread So I made this diagram first to figure what the function I want to map should be


enter image description here



So the function to use inside MapThread, needs to also use Map itself (in order to map each item into the other list). So I came up with this:


lst1 = {{a, b, c}, {d, e, f}};
lst2 = {1, 2};
foo[i_, lst_List] := List[i, #] & /@ lst
MapThread[foo[#1, #2] &, {Range[Length@lst2], lst1}]
(* { {{1,a}, {1,b}, {1,c}}, {{2,d}, {2,e}, {2,f}} } *)

Now here is the question: Is there a way to do the above without having to define an explicit function but using pure function inside MapThread?


I was getting conflict with # mapping. This is sort of the thing I was trying to do, but can't get the syntax right


(*invalid, for illustration only *)

MapThread[
Function[{idx, lst},List[idx, #] & /@ lst] & ?? ?? ,{Range[Length@lst2],lst1}]

Or if you know of a better approach to do this, that will be fine as well.



Answer



MapThread[Thread[{##}] &, {lst2, lst1}] 

Map[Thread, {lst2, lst1}\[Transpose]]

## is used so Thread gets called like Thread[{1, {a, b, c}}] As MapThread gives two arguments in this case it is equivalent to Thread[{#1, #2}]& and Composition[Thread, List]

plotting - Filling between two spheres in SphericalPlot3D

Manipulate[ SphericalPlot3D[{1, 2 - n}, {θ, 0, Pi}, {ϕ, 0, 1.5 Pi}, Mesh -> None, PlotPoints -> 15, PlotRange -> {-2.2, 2.2}], {n, 0, 1}] I cant' seem to be able to make a filling between two spheres. I've already tried the obvious Filling -> {1 -> {2}} but Mathematica doesn't seem to like that option. Is there any easy way around this or ... Answer There is no built-in filling in SphericalPlot3D . One option is to use ParametricPlot3D to draw the surfaces between the two shells: Manipulate[ Show[SphericalPlot3D[{1, 2 - n}, {θ, 0, Pi}, {ϕ, 0, 1.5 Pi}, PlotPoints -> 15, PlotRange -> {-2.2, 2.2}], ParametricPlot3D[{ r {Sin[t] Cos[1.5 Pi], Sin[t] Sin[1.5 Pi], Cos[t]}, r {Sin[t] Cos[0 Pi], Sin[t] Sin[0 Pi], Cos[t]}}, {r, 1, 2 - n}, {t, 0, Pi}, PlotStyle -> Yellow, Mesh -> {2, 15}]], {n, 0, 1}]

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}]

plotting - Adding a thick curve to a regionplot

Suppose we have the following simple RegionPlot: f[x_] := 1 - x^2 g[x_] := 1 - 0.5 x^2 RegionPlot[{y < f[x], f[x] < y < g[x], y > g[x]}, {x, 0, 2}, {y, 0, 2}] Now I'm trying to change the curve defined by $y=g[x]$ into a thick black curve, while leaving all other boundaries in the plot unchanged. I've tried adding the region $y=g[x]$ and playing with the plotstyle, which didn't work, and I've tried BoundaryStyle, which changed all the boundaries in the plot. Now I'm kinda out of ideas... Any help would be appreciated! Answer With f[x_] := 1 - x^2 g[x_] := 1 - 0.5 x^2 You can use Epilog to add the thick line: RegionPlot[{y < f[x], f[x] < y < g[x], y > g[x]}, {x, 0, 2}, {y, 0, 2}, PlotPoints -> 50, Epilog -> (Plot[g[x], {x, 0, 2}, PlotStyle -> {Black, Thick}][[1]]), PlotStyle -> {Directive[Yellow, Opacity[0.4]], Directive[Pink, Opacity[0.4]],
