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.


enter image description here


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}]

functions - Get leading series expansion term?

Given a function f[x] , I would like to have a function leadingSeries that returns just the leading term in the series around x=0 . For example: leadingSeries[(1/x + 2)/(4 + 1/x^2 + x)] x and leadingSeries[(1/x + 2 + (1 - 1/x^3)/4)/(4 + x)] -(1/(16 x^3)) Is there such a function in Mathematica? Or maybe one can implement it efficiently? EDIT I finally went with the following implementation, based on Carl Woll 's answer: lds[ex_,x_]:=( (ex/.x->(x+O[x]^2))/.SeriesData[U_,Z_,L_List,Mi_,Ma_,De_]:>SeriesData[U,Z,{L[[1]]},Mi,Mi+1,De]//Quiet//Normal) The advantage is, that this one also properly works with functions whose leading term is a constant: lds[Exp[x],x] 1 Answer Update 1 Updated to eliminate SeriesData and to not return additional terms Perhaps you could use: leadingSeries[expr_, x_] := Normal[expr /. x->(x+O[x]^2) /. a_List :> Take[a, 1]] Then for your examples: leadingSeries[(1/x + 2)/(4 + 1/x^2 + x), x] leadingSeries[Exp[x], x] leadingSeries[(1/x + 2 + (1 - 1/x...

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-...
