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}]

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.

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...

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[ ...

dynamic - How can I make a clickable ArrayPlot that returns input?

I would like to create a dynamic ArrayPlot so that the rectangles, when clicked, provide the input. Can I use ArrayPlot for this? Or is there something else I should have to use? Answer ArrayPlot is much more than just a simple array like Grid : it represents a ranged 2D dataset, and its visualization can be finetuned by options like DataReversed and DataRange . These features make it quite complicated to reproduce the same layout and order with Grid . Here I offer AnnotatedArrayPlot which comes in handy when your dataset is more than just a flat 2D array. The dynamic interface allows highlighting individual cells and possibly interacting with them. AnnotatedArrayPlot works the same way as ArrayPlot and accepts the same options plus Enabled , HighlightCoordinates , HighlightStyle and HighlightElementFunction . data = {{Missing["HasSomeMoreData"], GrayLevel[ 1], {RGBColor[0, 1, 1], RGBColor[0, 0, 1], GrayLevel[1]}, RGBColor[0, 1, 0]}, {GrayLevel[0], GrayLevel...
