graphics - BarChart FrameLabels with only partial Frame?


This test BarChart is generated by the code that follows it:


enter image description here


data = Table[RandomInteger[{1, 10}], {3}, {4}];


BarChart[MapThread[Labeled[#1, #2, Above] &, {data, {1, 2, 3}}], 
 ChartLayout -> "Stacked", 
 ChartStyle -> 
  Reverse@{Lighter@Blue, Blue, Darker@Blue, Darker@Darker@Blue}, 
 ChartLabels -> {{"a", "b", "c"}, None},
 Frame -> {False, True, False, False},
 FrameLabel -> {"x axis", "y axis"}, 
 BaseStyle -> {FontFamily -> "Helvetica", FontSize -> 14}]

Since only a y-axis component of Frame is rendered: Frame -> {False, True, False, False} the "x axis" label of FrameLabel -> {"x axis", "y axis"} is omitted - and that's consistent with documentation.



Is it possible to display "x axis" at the location it would be if the bottom component of the Frame were there and preserving the set BaseStyle values (eg Font, FontSize)?


This can be done using Inset but positioning is ad-hoc and it does not preserve BaseStyle values.


Wrapping Labeled around Barchart doesn't correctly center the text and moreover does not use the BaseStyle values, as the following screenshot shows. Here for comparison the bottom component of Frame is True - and note the disastrous clash of graphical elements.

Finally, using the bottom Frame component: Frame -> {True, True, False, False} but without ticks: FrameTicks -> {None, Automatic, None, None} results in an ugly double axis and overlap in labels:


enter image description here


Any other options, eg using LabelingFunction?



Answer



You can remove the overlaid ticks by using FrameTicksStyle to set them to Transparent and remove the doubled edge by setting PlotRangePadding to None, like so:


BarChart[MapThread[Labeled[#1, #2, Above] &, {data, {1, 2, 3}}], 

 ChartLayout -> "Stacked", 
 ChartStyle -> 
  Reverse@{Lighter@Blue, Blue, Darker@Blue, Darker@Darker@Blue}, 
 ChartLabels -> {{"a", "b", "c"}, None}, 
 Frame -> {True, True, False, False}, 
 FrameTicksStyle -> {Automatic, Transparent}, 
 PlotRangePadding -> None, FrameLabel -> {"x axis", "y axis"}, 
 BaseStyle -> {FontFamily -> "Helvetica", FontSize -> 14}]

Or you could explicitly set the FrameTicks to something invisible but that takes up the same vertical spacing you want, like so:



BarChart[MapThread[Labeled[#1, #2, Above] &, {data, {1, 2, 3}}], 
 ChartLayout -> "Stacked", 
 ChartStyle -> 
  Reverse@{Lighter@Blue, Blue, Darker@Blue, Darker@Darker@Blue}, 
 ChartLabels -> {{"a", "b", "c"}, None}, 
 Frame -> {True, True, False, False}, 
 FrameTicks -> {{Automatic, Automatic}, {{{1, ""}}, None}}, 
 PlotRangePadding -> None, FrameLabel -> {"x axis", "y axis"}, 
 BaseStyle -> {FontFamily -> "Helvetica", FontSize -> 14}]

front end - keyboard shortcut to invoke Insert new matrix

I frequently need to type in some matrices, and the menu command Insert > Table/Matrix > New... allows matrices with lines drawn between columns and rows, which is very helpful. I would like to make a keyboard shortcut for it, but cannot find the relevant frontend token command (4209405) for it. Since the FullForm[] and InputForm[] of matrices with lines drawn between rows and columns is the same as those without lines, it's hard to do this via 3rd party system-wide text expanders (e.g. autohotkey or atext on mac). How does one assign a keyboard shortcut for the menu item Insert > Table/Matrix > New... , preferably using only mathematica? Thanks! Answer In the MenuSetup.tr (for linux located in the $InstallationDirectory/SystemFiles/FrontEnd/TextResources/X/ directory), I changed the line MenuItem["&New...", "CreateGridBoxDialog"] to read MenuItem["&New...", "CreateGridBoxDialog", MenuKey["m", Modifiers-...

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...
