plotting - How to get exact coordinate of a point from a plot?



I am using BodePlot[] to plot the magnitude and phase of a function as below.


BodePlot[1000/((1 + s/10^3)*(1 + s/10^6))]

After plotting the function, is there a way to get the exact coordinate of a point from the plot? I tried to use Ctrl+D and the tool get coordinate but it doesn't return the exact coordinate at all.



Answer




Is there a way to get coordinate of just a particular point?



You can convert Line into the corresponding set of Points each of which will be a Button which Prints the coordinates of that Point when you click on it (try this!):


plot = BodePlot[1000/((1 + s/10^3)*(1 + s/10^6))];

plot /. Line[pts_] :> Map[Button[Point[#], Print[#]] &, pts, {-2}]


plot



Or (as Michael E2 suggests) you can copy the coordinates of the Point into the clipboard instead of Printing:


plot /. Line[pts_] :> Map[Button[Point[#], CopyToClipboard[#]] &, pts, {-2}]

You can elegantly get the advantages of the both above approaches using (new in version 10.3) Echo as suggested by J. M.:


plot /. Line[pts_] :> Map[Button[Point[#], CopyToClipboard[Echo[#]]] &, pts, {-2}]


Another alternative is to use PopupWindow:


plot /. Line[pts_] :> Map[PopupWindow[Point[#], #] &, pts, {-2}]


If you like the CopyToClipboard approach but you don't wish to print anything or display any popup windows, you still can get moderate control on which Point you have actually hit by the mouse via changing color and size of the Point when your cursor is over it. Increasing size of the Point reduces the possibility that this point will be accidentally de-selected as a result of unintended minor movement of the mouse cursor during the process of pressing of the mouse button:


plot /. Line[pts_] :> 
  Map[Button[Mouseover[Point[#], {Red, PointSize[Large], Point[#]}], 
     CopyToClipboard[#]] &, pts, {-2}]


I've added this notice because AFAIK currently there is no simple way to harmonize what you have first selected and then clicked by mouse in an unambiguous way (these events obviously are independent from each other).

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[ ...

equation solving - Invert and fit implicitly defined curve

I need to fit an implicitly defined curve. I thought I could get some data out of Solve , and then using FindFit . Therefore, I would like to find the relation the parametric curve defined by $F(x,y)=0$: Solve[-(1/2) + 1/2 (0.41202 BesselK[0, 0.1 Sqrt[x^2 + y^2]] + (0.101483 x BesselK[1, 0.1 Sqrt[x^2 + y^2]])/Sqrt[x^2 + y^2]) == 0, y] But I can't get an output: Solve was unable to solve the system with inexact coefficients or the system obtained by direct rationalization of inexact numbers present in the system. Since many of the methods used by Solve require exact input, providing Solve with an exact version of the system may help. >> Edit: In particular, I would like to fit the data coming from the curve with the expression of another curve, and not with a function $f(x)$. In particular, since this clearly looks like a cardioid , I would like it to fit to something like it. What other strategies could I try?

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...
