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 - Plot 4D data with color as 4th dimension

I have a list of 4D data (x position, y position, amplitude, wavelength). I want to plot x, y, and amplitude on a 3D plot and have the color of the points correspond to the wavelength. I have seen many examples using functions to define color but my wavelength cannot be expressed by an analytic function. Is there a simple way to do this? Answer Here a another possible way to visualize 4D data: data = Flatten[Table[{x, y, x^2 + y^2, Sin[x - y]}, {x, -Pi, Pi,Pi/10}, {y,-Pi,Pi, Pi/10}], 1]; You can use the function Point along with VertexColors . Now the points are places using the first three elements and the color is determined by the fourth. In this case I used Hue, but you can use whatever you prefer. Graphics3D[ Point[data[[All, 1 ;; 3]], VertexColors -> Hue /@ data[[All, 4]]], Axes -> True, BoxRatios -> {1, 1, 1/GoldenRatio}]

plotting - Filling between two spheres in SphericalPlot3D

Manipulate[ SphericalPlot3D[{1, 2 - n}, {θ, 0, Pi}, {ϕ, 0, 1.5 Pi}, Mesh -> None, PlotPoints -> 15, PlotRange -> {-2.2, 2.2}], {n, 0, 1}] I cant' seem to be able to make a filling between two spheres. I've already tried the obvious Filling -> {1 -> {2}} but Mathematica doesn't seem to like that option. Is there any easy way around this or ... Answer There is no built-in filling in SphericalPlot3D . One option is to use ParametricPlot3D to draw the surfaces between the two shells: Manipulate[ Show[SphericalPlot3D[{1, 2 - n}, {θ, 0, Pi}, {ϕ, 0, 1.5 Pi}, PlotPoints -> 15, PlotRange -> {-2.2, 2.2}], ParametricPlot3D[{ r {Sin[t] Cos[1.5 Pi], Sin[t] Sin[1.5 Pi], Cos[t]}, r {Sin[t] Cos[0 Pi], Sin[t] Sin[0 Pi], Cos[t]}}, {r, 1, 2 - n}, {t, 0, Pi}, PlotStyle -> Yellow, Mesh -> {2, 15}]], {n, 0, 1}]

plotting - Mathematica: 3D plot based on combined 2D graphs

I have several sigmoidal fits to 3 different datasets, with mean fit predictions plus the 95% confidence limits (not symmetrical around the mean) and the actual data. I would now like to show these different 2D plots projected in 3D as in but then using proper perspective. In the link here they give some solutions to combine the plots using isometric perspective, but I would like to use proper 3 point perspective. Any thoughts? Also any way to show the mean points per time point for each series plus or minus the standard error on the mean would be cool too, either using points+vertical bars, or using spheres plus tubes. Below are some test data and the fit function I am using. Note that I am working on a logit(proportion) scale and that the final vertical scale is Log10(percentage). (* some test data *) data = Table[Null, {i, 4}]; data[[1]] = {{1, -5.8}, {2, -5.4}, {3, -0.8}, {4, -0.2}, {5, 4.6}, {1, -6.4}, {2, -5.6}, {3, -0.7}, {4, 0.04}, {5, 1.0}, {1, -6.8}, {2, -4.7}, {3, -1....
