plotting - How can I transpose x and y axis on a Plot?


This question has appeared in various forms online, but I have not yet seen a complete answer, so I am posting it here.


More specifically, suppose I have a function



F: X->Y

that is not one-to-one. Mathematica can easily plot this function as follows:


Plot[F[x], {x, 0, 30}, PlotRange -> {{0, 30}, {0, 1}}]

This produces a graph that passes the vertical line test, but does not pass the horizontal line test, because F is not one-to-one. My question is, how do I get a plot of the inverse relation (which is not a function) for all Y?


Edit: I am adding the function F for clarity. I originally omitted it because I figured a generic solution would solve it.


F[x_] := (1000 * x) / 24279 * Sqrt[-1 + x^(2/7)]

Edit 2: I am adding the graph (that I am trying to graph the inverse relation of) I produced using Plot for further clarity.

To be clear, this image is produced by the following three commands:


F[x_] := (1000 * x) / (24279 * Sqrt[-1 + x^(2/7)])
myplot = Plot[F[x], {x,0,30}, PlotRange -> {{0,30}, {0,1}}]
Export["foo.png", myplot]

Answer



Update:


Using the example function provided in op's update:


 ff[x_] := (1000*x)/(24279*Sqrt[-1 + x^(2/7)]);
 prmtrcplt1 = ParametricPlot[{x, ff[x]}, {x, 0, 30},

 PlotRange -> {{0, 30}, {0, 1}}, ImageSize -> 300, AspectRatio -> 1];
 prmtrcplt2 = ParametricPlot[{ff[x], x}, {x, 0, 30},
 PlotRange -> Reverse[PlotRange[prmtrcplt1]], ImageSize -> 300,  AspectRatio -> 1];
 Row[{prmtrcplt1, prmtrcplt2}, Spacer[5]]

enter image description here


 plt = Plot[ff[x], {x, 0, 30}, PlotRange -> {{0, 30}, {0, 1}},ImageSize -> 300,
   AspectRatio -> 1];
 ref1 = MapAt[GeometricTransformation[#, ReflectionTransform[{-1, 1}]] &, plt, {1}];
 ref2 = plt /. line_Line :> GeometricTransformation[line, ReflectionTransform[{-1, 1}]];

 Row[{plt, Graphics[ref1[[1]], PlotRange -> Reverse@PlotRange[ref1], ref1[[2]]],
  Graphics[ref2[[1]], PlotRange -> Reverse@PlotRange[ref2], ref2[[2]]]}, Spacer[5]]

original post


ParametricPlot (as suggested by whuber)


 prmtrcplt1 = ParametricPlot[{x, x Sin[2 x]}, {x, -Pi, Pi},
   PlotRange -> {{-Pi, Pi}, {-3, 3}}, ImageSize -> 300];
 prmtrcplt2 = ParametricPlot[{x Sin[2 x], x}, {x, -Pi, Pi},

  PlotRange -> {{-Pi, Pi}, {-3, 3}}, ImageSize -> 300];
 Row[{prmtrcplt1, prmtrcplt2}, Spacer[5]]

enter image description here


Post-process using ReflectionTransform


  reflected = plt /. line_Line :> {Red,  
     GeometricTransformation[line, ReflectionTransform[{-1, 1}]]};
   Row[{plt, reflected, 
   Show[plt, Plot[x, {x, -Pi, Pi}, PlotStyle -> Black], reflected,
   PlotRange -> All, ImageSize -> 300]}, Spacer[5]]


enter image description here


Variations:


 reflected2 = MapAt[GeometricTransformation[#, ReflectionMatrix[{-1, 1}]] &, plt, {1}];
 reflected3 = MapAt[GeometricTransformation[#, ReflectionTransform[{-1, 1}]] &,plt, {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 - 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 - Mathematica: 3D plot based on combined 2D graphs

I have several sigmoidal fits to 3 different datasets, with mean fit predictions plus the 95% confidence limits (not symmetrical around the mean) and the actual data. I would now like to show these different 2D plots projected in 3D as in but then using proper perspective. In the link here they give some solutions to combine the plots using isometric perspective, but I would like to use proper 3 point perspective. Any thoughts? Also any way to show the mean points per time point for each series plus or minus the standard error on the mean would be cool too, either using points+vertical bars, or using spheres plus tubes. Below are some test data and the fit function I am using. Note that I am working on a logit(proportion) scale and that the final vertical scale is Log10(percentage). (* some test data *) data = Table[Null, {i, 4}]; data[[1]] = {{1, -5.8}, {2, -5.4}, {3, -0.8}, {4, -0.2}, {5, 4.6}, {1, -6.4}, {2, -5.6}, {3, -0.7}, {4, 0.04}, {5, 1.0}, {1, -6.8}, {2, -4.7}, {3, -1....
