plotting - Same Colors to Match Two Contour Plots


I have two contour plots:


c1 = ContourPlot[Cos[x] + Cos[y], {x, 0, 4 Pi}, {y, 0, 4 Pi}, 
FrameTicks -> None]
c2 = ContourPlot[10*Cos[x] + Cos[y], {x, 0, 4 Pi}, {y, 0, 4 Pi},

FrameTicks -> None]

I want to be able to compare them not only in terms of numbers but also in terms of colors. So same value -> same color.


How can I make sure that the colors between the two contour plots match ? Also, they should have one unique legend.



Answer



Find the narrowest range that covers the range of both plots and use it as color function range in both plots:


range = MapThread[# @ #2 &, {{Min, Max}, Transpose @
(Through[{MinValue, MaxValue}[{#, 0 <= x <= 4 Pi, 0 <= y <= 4 Pi}, {x, y}, Reals]] & /@
{Cos[x] + Cos[y], 10 Cos[x] + Cos[y]})}]
{c1, c2} = ContourPlot[#, {x, 0, 4 Pi}, {y, 0, 4 Pi},

FrameTicks -> None, PlotLegends -> Automatic,ImageSize -> 300,
ColorFunction -> ColorData[{"Rainbow", range}], ColorFunctionScaling -> False] & /@
{Cos[x] + Cos[y], 10 Cos[x] + Cos[y]};

Row[{c1, c2}]

To use the default color function with the new color range change "Rainbow" above to "M10DefaultDensityGradient" to get:

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...
