manipulate - Assign Locator points to a specific plot


Result on the left is not what I intended to do: it has two sets of Locator points. Trying to determine why two sets of Locator points are appearing. I only intended to have one set.



Result on the right is what I am trying to do: it has one set of Locator points.


Suspect that I am making some fundamental mistake or misunderstanding something. Could someone point out why the results are different? Also, what is an appropriate way to implement this?


Undesired result: Locator points appear twice Desired result: Locator points appear only once


Below is the code for the result on the left. Switch the comments to produce the result on the right. Note these results are for Version 11.0.1.0 Similar, though not always identical, results are obtained for version 10.


Manipulate[
ptsExtended = Prepend[Append[Sort[ptsAll], {1.5, 1}], {-2, 0}] ;
fpts = Interpolation[ptsExtended, InterpolationOrder -> 1];
dfpts = Derivative[1][fpts];
plotf = Plot[fpts[x], {x, 0, 1}, PlotRange -> {{-0.1, 1.1}, {-0.1, 1.1} },
PlotLabel -> Style["f(x)", Bold, 12]];

plotdf = Plot[dfpts[x], {x, 0, 1}, PlotRange -> {{-0.1, 1.1}, {-2, 4}},
PlotLabel -> Style["df(x)", Bold, 12]];
plotSin = Plot[Sin[x], {x, 0, 6}];
Grid[{{LocatorPane[ptsAll, plotf]}, {plotdf}}](*locator points appear on both plots*)
(*Grid[{{plotSin},{LocatorPane[ptsAll, plotf]}}]*)(*this works as expected*)
,
(*list of controls*)
{{ptsAll, initPtsAll}, ControlType -> Locator, LocatorAutoCreate -> True}
(*other details*)
, TrackedSymbols :> {ptsAll}

, Initialization :> (
initPtsAll = {{0, 0}, {0.25, 0.25}, {0.5, 0.6}, {0.75, 0.85}, {1,1} };
)
, SynchronousUpdating -> False
]

Finally, this is a simple example of a larger code that I am writing. In the larger code, the Locator points also appear in unexpected (to me) plots.



Answer



So even though I provided a way in the comments to do this with Manipulate, I think this is a case where it's better just to go to DynamicModule. Here's an example of how you could do this:


DynamicModule[{

ptsExtended, fpts, dfpts,
plotf, plotdf, plotSin,
ptsAll,
initPtsAll = {{0, 0}, {0.25, 0.25}, {0.5, 0.6}, {0.75, 0.85}, {1,
1}},
genPlots},
genPlots[] :=
CompoundExpression[
ptsExtended =
Prepend[Append[Sort[ptsAll], {1.5, 1}], {-2, 0}],

fpts =
Interpolation[ptsExtended, InterpolationOrder -> 1],
dfpts =
Derivative[1][fpts],
plotf =
Plot[fpts[x], {x, 0, 1}, PlotRange -> {{-0.1, 1.1}, {-0.1, 1.1}},
PlotLabel -> Style["f(x)", Bold, 12]],
plotdf =
Plot[dfpts[x], {x, 0, 1}, PlotRange -> {{-0.1, 1.1}, {-2, 4}},
PlotLabel -> Style["df(x)", Bold, 12]]

];
ptsAll = initPtsAll;
genPlots[];
Panel[
Panel[
Grid[{
{(*Dynamic[ptsExtended,UpdateInterval\[Rule].05,
TrackedSymbols\[RuleDelayed]{}]*)},
{LocatorPane[Dynamic[ptsAll,
ptsAll = #; genPlots[]; &],

Dynamic@plotf]},
{Dynamic@plotdf}
}],
Background -> White
],
FrameMargins -> 15,
Appearance ->
FrontEndResource["FEExpressions",
"MoreLeftSetterPressedNinePatchAppearance"]
],

Initialization :> (
initPtsAll = {{0, 0}, {0.25, 0.25}, {0.5, 0.6}, {0.75, 0.85}, {1,
1}}
),
SynchronousUpdating -> False
]

I think this will exhibit the behavior you desired.

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....
