graphs and networks - Coloring edges in GraphPlot


I'm a little stuck with graph drawing part of my research — I can't use the Graph function for plotting my graphs, because my graph is a multi-graph. Graph is convenient because it colors edges quite easily.


Since I have a 3-regular (or even 4-regular) graph, where there are 3 (or 4) perfect matching, I want each of the matching to be colored differently.


What's the best way to color a group of edges (each perfect matching with it's own color) in the given adjacency list in GraphPlot? To simplify it, we can assume, that groups goes one by one (e.g. we have 6 edges: 3 groups of two edges, following each other


{1<->2, 3<->4, 1<->3, 2<->4, 1<->2, 3<->4}


In Graph, I've constructed a nice lambda function, that wraps all elements of a list in a Style function, that colors the edge. But in a GraphPlot I can't wrap edges in a Style function.


There's an EdgeRenderingFunction, wich draws all the edges. How do I put three different EdgeRenderingFunctions for the one edge-set? Or is that the wrong way to go?


Any ideas, how to do that?


Answer:


The labeled answer is absolutely correct. Little generalization of what I needed and how to implement it:


  GraphPlot[{{1 -> 2, 1}, {3 -> 4, 1}, {1 -> 3, 2}, {2 -> 4, 2}, {1 -> 2, 3},              
{3 -> 4, 3}}, MultiedgeStyle -> .2,
ImagePadding -> 10,
EdgeRenderingFunction -> (Switch[#3, 1, {Red, Line[#1]},

2, {Blue, Line[#1]}, 3, {Green, Line[#1]},
4, {Dashed, Line[#1]}] &), VertexLabeling -> True,
Method -> "CircularEmbedding"]

Answer



l = {{1, 3}, {3, 4}};
GraphPlot[{1 -> 2, 3 -> 4, 1 -> 3, 2 -> 4, 1 -> 2, 3 -> 4},
EdgeRenderingFunction -> (If[
Intersection[l, {#2}] != {}, {Red, Arrow[#1, .1]},

{Blue,Arrow[#1, .1]}] &)]

enter image description here


Edit


Using edge labels:


l = {1, 3};
GraphPlot[{{1 -> 2, 1}, {3 -> 4, 2}, {1 -> 3, 3}, {2 -> 4, 4}, {1 -> 2, 5}, {3 -> 4, 6}},
EdgeRenderingFunction -> (If[
Intersection[l, {#3}] != {}, {Red, Arrow[#1, .1]}, {Blue, Arrow[#1, .1]}] &)]

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...
