output formatting - Using Padding with Text and Style


Suppose that I use:


Text[Style["(1, 0, 0)", 12, Background -> White], {1, 1, 0}]

How can I put a few points of padding around the text?



Thanks to Jens:


Initialization cell:


Options[myText] = {Background -> White, Padding -> 1, FrameStyle -> None};


myText[s_, pos_, OptionsPattern[]] := 
 Text[Framed[Style[s, 12], Background -> OptionValue[Background], 
   FrameMargins -> OptionValue[Padding], 
   FrameStyle -> OptionValue[FrameStyle]], pos]

Image code using myText:


Show[

 ContourPlot3D[{z == Sqrt[x^2 + y^2]}, {x, -2.5, 2.5}, {y, -2.5, 
   2.5}, {z, 0, 2},
  ContourStyle -> {Yellow, Opacity[0.8]}, Mesh -> None],
 ParametricPlot3D[{r Cos[t], r Sin[t], 2}, {t, 0, 2 π}, {r, 0, 2},
   PlotStyle -> {Blue, Opacity[0.5]}, Mesh -> None],
 ParametricPlot3D[{r Cos[t], r Sin[t], 0}, {t, 0, 2 π}, {r, 0, 2},
   PlotStyle -> {LightBlue, Opacity[0.5]}, Mesh -> None],
 Graphics3D[{
   Red, Thick, Arrow[{{0, 0, 0}, {2, 2, 0}}],
   Black, PointSize[Large],

   Point[{{0, 0, 0}, 2 {Cos[Pi/4], Sin[Pi/4], 0}}],
   myText["r = 0", {0, -0.6, 0}],
   myText["r = 2", 2 {Cos[30 °], Sin[30 °], 0}],
   Red, Thick, 
   Arrow[{{Cos[Pi/4], Sin[Pi/4], 0}, {Cos[Pi/4], Sin[Pi/4], 2.5}}],
   Black, PointSize[Large],
   Point[{{Cos[Pi/4], Sin[Pi/4], 0}, {Cos[Pi/4], Sin[Pi/4], 
      1}, {Cos[Pi/4], Sin[Pi/4], 2}}],
   myText["z = r", {Cos[35 °], Sin[35 °], 0.8}],
   myText["z = 2", {Cos[35 °], Sin[35 °], 1.8}]

   }], AxesLabel -> {"x", "y", "z"}, 
 PlotRange -> {{-2.5, 2.5}, {-2.5, 2.5}, {0, 2.5}}
 ]

For some reason, I am getting frequent kernel beeps when running the cell containing the image code. I don't know why.

Answer



There are two alternatives I would suggest, depending on what your plans for the Background are. Here is an illustration:


Text[Pane[Style["(1, 0, 0)", 12, Background -> Yellow], 
  ImageMargins -> 10], {1, 1, 0}]


small background


Text[Framed[Style["(1, 0, 0)", 12], Background -> Yellow, 
  FrameMargins -> 10, FrameStyle -> None], {1, 1, 0}]

big background


The first solution uses a Pane, but this doesn't have a Background option so that you have to specify the background color in the Style command, as you already did. I changed it to yellow just for clarity.


The second solution assumes that you want the background to fill out the extra space that was created, too. This can be done with Frame because it allows the Background option. I then set FrameStyle -> None to make the result look otherwise indistinguishable from a Pane.


When used in Graphics3D, these two outputs look as follows:


pane

To make this easier to use, just define something like this:


Options[myText] = {Background -> White, Padding -> 5, 
   FrameStyle -> None};

myText[s_, pos_, OptionsPattern[]] := 
 Text[Framed[Style[s, 12], Background -> OptionValue[Background], 
   FrameMargins -> OptionValue[Padding], 
   FrameStyle -> OptionValue[FrameStyle]], pos]


Graphics3D[myText["{1,0,0}", {0, 0, 0}], Background -> LightBlue]

function


The relevant options can be changed by adding them to in the invocation of myText. I used the name Padding for the option that you wanted, even though it's realized as FrameMargins internally.

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[ ...

list manipulation - Selecting multiple columns from a matrix?

Sample data: data = { {{2013, 1, 1}, 24.13, 167.67, 231.82}, {{2013, 1, 2}, 32.15, 170.92, 225.99}, {{2013, 1, 3}, 35.43, 172.68, 221.67}, {{2013, 1, 4}, 36.73, 173.05, 218.32}, {{2013, 1, 5}, 58.19, 165.96, 197.05}, {{2013, 1, 6}, 69.99, 163.50, 187.52}, {{2013, 1, 7}, 71.37, 154.21, 175.58}, {{2013, 1, 8}, 72.51, 149.66, 163.25}}; I want a DateListPlot with three graphs, so for a matrix formed by columns 1 and 2, one for columns 1 and 3, and 1 for columns 1 and 4. At the moment I'm using this code: data2 = Transpose[{data[[All, 1]], data[[All, 2]]}]; data3 = Transpose[{data[[All, 1]], data[[All, 3]]}]; data4 = Transpose[{data[[All, 1]], data[[All, 4]]}]; DateListPlot[{data2, data3, data4}, Joined -> True, Filling -> {3 -> {1}}] but I have a hunch that this can be done more efficiently. I don't like the Transpose s in particular. Any ideas? edit (for extra credit) What if I need to multiply the second column by 2, which in my solution is simp...

calculus and analysis - Integral of the Sinc product

Let us consider the following integral $$ B_n = \int_0^\infty \prod_{k=1,3,5,\dots}^n\frac{\sin (x/k)}{x/k}dx $$ By definition, Sinc[x] == Sin[x]/x , therefore B[n_?OddQ] := Integrate[Product[Sinc[x/k], {k, 1, n, 2}], {x, 0, Infinity}] B /@ Range[1, 13, 2] {Pi/2, Pi/2, Pi/2, Pi/2, Pi/2, Pi/2, Pi/2} OK, everything is fine. But... B[15] 467807924713440738696537864469 Pi/935615849440640907310521750000 What's going on? Answer As Eckhard wrote in comments B[n] is the n-th Borwein integral . (The letter B was not accidental :) ) This funny properties of Borwein integrals is related to the Fourier transform of Sinc function FourierTransform[Sinc[x], x, k] 1/2 Sqrt[Pi/2] (Sign[1 - k] + Sign[1 + k]) Plot[%, {k, -2, 2}, Filling -> 0] which is the box function. The result is $\pi/2$ while the sum $$ 1/3+1/5+\dots+1/n $$ B_n = \frac{\pi}{2} - \pi \bigg(\sum_{k=3,5,\ldots}^n\frac{1}{k} -1\biggr)^\frac{n-1}{2}\prod_{k=3,5,\dots}^n\frac{k}{k-1}. $$ For $n=15$ it is equal to $$ \frac{46780...
