graphics - How to draw rectangle in mathematica with arrow


I have a basic question but i cant seem to find an answer for it.


How do i draw a rectangle in mathematica with either clockwise or counterclockwise arrow heads. enter image description here


In this picture i know two points i.e. (xmin,ymin) and (xmax,ymax). I want to stepwise quench my system and show it in this picture and hence many rectangles between min and max.


Rectangle command doesnt seem to provide an answer. And i want to do it with very many points, hence couple of answers that are available in forum are not so useful.


(-1+X+1/(1/3+(-3.+3 X)/(3 (1.*10^-18+4.5*10^-12 (2+X)+2.59808*10^-9 Sqrt[4.*10^-12-4 (-1+X)^3+1.*10^-6 (8-(-20+X) X)])^(1/3))+333333. (1.*10^-18+4.5*10^-12 (2+X)+2.59808*10^-9 Sqrt[4.*10^-12-4 (-1+X)^3+1.*10^-6 (8-(-20+X) X)])^(1/3)))/X

This is the plotted function f.



Now i want to select two X values say X=1.1 and X=3 and divide interval into N parts X = {X1, X2, X3, X4, X5} and directed rectangle between each of the two consecutive values.


Because i cant do it in mathematica i drew it in paint and it looks something like this with clockwise arrows for each rectangle.


enter image description here


Thanks, Nitin



Answer



Because using Graph is fun:


f[x_] := Sqrt@x
x = {1.1, 1.6, 2.2, 2.4, 3}; (* put any thing you want here *)
coord = {First@#, {First@#[[2]], Last@#[[1]]}, Last@#, {First@#[[1]], Last@#[[2]]}} & /@
Partition[{#, f@#} & /@ x, 2, 1];

ef1[el_, ___] := {Arrowheads@0.03, Arrow[el]}
g = Graph[{1 -> 2, 2 -> 3, 3 -> 4, 4 -> 1},
VertexCoordinates -> #,
EdgeShapeFunction -> ef1] & /@ coord;
Show[Plot[f[x], {x, 0, 5}, Frame -> True], g]

enter image description here


Then you can play with EdgeStyle or VertexStyle in g to have fancy colors (or see Graph's Options for more details) and with Arrowheads to have bigger/smaller heads.




Additions regarding coord (as requested in the comments):



If you consider that {{x1,y1},{x2,y2},{x3,y3}} are the coordinates of the three first points crossing f@x you need to group them in order to create two rectangles:


rectgroups = Partition[{{x1,y1},{x2,y2},{x3,y3}}, 2, 1]


{{{x1, y1}, {x2, y2}}, {{x2, y2}, {x3, y3}}}



with {{x1, y1}, {x2, y2}} and {{x2, y2}, {x3, y3}} forming two rectangles by their opposed coordinates.


The problem here is that in order to draw a rectangle while using VertexCoordinates (it's in fact not the case with Rectangle) you need the four points defining your rectangle. Thus:


makerect = {First@#, {First@#[[2]], Last@#[[1]]}, Last@#, {First@#[[1]], Last@#[[2]]}}&;
makerect /@ rectgroups



{{{x1, y1}, {x2, y1}, {x2, y2}, {x1, y2}}, {{x2, y2}, {x3, y2}, {x3, y3}, {x2, y3}}}



gives you the two other coordinates needed to define the rectangles ({x2,y1} and {x1,y2} in the first case).

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-...

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...
