plotting - Frame labels for Overlay of two plots to look like plot with two y-axes


I have a two time differential equations system: A[t] and B[t]. (I am omitting their specific form.) I would like to display the evolution of the two variables over time in a one plot with two y-axes with a label on each axis and a legend below the x-axis After days of research I found that Overlay could be one solution. So my code is the following:


p1 = Plot[A[t] /. sol, {t, 1, 10}, PlotStyle -> {Black}, BaseStyle -> {FontSize -> 14},
Ticks -> {{}, {94, 96, 98, 100}}, ImagePadding -> 25, FrameTicks -> {None, All, None, None},
Frame -> {True, True, False, False}]

p2 = Plot[B[t] /. sol, {t, 1, 10}, PlotStyle -> {Black, Dashed}, BaseStyle -> {FontSize -> 14}, 
Ticks -> {{}, {2, 4, 6, 8, 10}}, FrameTicks -> {None, None, None, All}, ImagePadding -> 25, 
Frame -> {False, False, False, True}]


p = Overlay[{p1, p2}]

Export["p.pdf", %]

This produces enter image description here


However, after another days of research I failed to figure out how to include label for each axis, A for left y-axis, B for right y-axis, and t for x-axis, and a legend (for the two curves) below x-axis. I tried various combinations and various versions of PlotLabel, FrameLabel, PlotLegend, etc. without success. Can anyone help?

Edit: In 10.x the syntax for FrameTicks was changed. More in:


Is there a good reason for the removal of this FrameTicks syntax?




You just need more ImagePadding at the side for the FrameLabel to show. (Note I've changed the functions being plotted since I don't have your differential equation handy.) You can add a legend at the bottom without worrying about adding extra ImagePadding because it's outside the plot. Notice that I had to create both lines in the legend. Because there is only one line in this plot, an automatic setting for LineLegend like LineLegend["Expressions"] would only have had one element.


Notice also that I've turned Axes off, since you are using Frame instead.


p1 = Plot[5 Sin[t] + 95, {t, 1, 10}, PlotStyle -> {Black}, 
  Axes -> None, BaseStyle -> {FontSize -> 14}, 
  Ticks -> {{}, {94, 96, 98, 100}}, 
  ImagePadding -> {{50, 50}, {20, 2}}, 
  FrameTicks -> {None, All, None, None}, 
  Frame -> {True, True, False, False}, 
  PlotLegends -> 
   Placed[LineLegend[{Black, 

      Directive[Dashed, Black]}, {"First thing", "Other thing"}], 
    Bottom], FrameLabel -> {{"First thing", None}, {"Stuff", None}}]

enter image description here


 p2 = Plot[5 Cos[t] + 5, {t, 1, 10}, Axes -> None,
  PlotStyle -> {Directive[Black, Dashed]}, 
  BaseStyle -> {FontSize -> 14}, Ticks -> {{}, {2, 4, 6, 8, 10}}, 
  FrameTicks -> {None, None, None, All}, 
  ImagePadding -> {{50, 50}, {20, 2}}, 
  Frame -> {False, False, False, True}, 

  FrameLabel -> {{None, "Thing"}, {None, None}}]

enter image description here


p = Overlay[{p1, p2}]

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[ ...

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...

Is there a way to do conditional matrix loop using 'continue'

I have the following: n = 3; m = 5; ww = RandomReal[{0, 0.1}, {n, n}]; uu = RandomReal[{0, 1}, {m, n}]; pp = RandomReal[{0, 1}, {n, n}]; ss = RandomInteger[{0, 5}, {m, n}]; Grid[{{"ww", "uu", "pp", "ss"}, {ww // TableForm, uu // TableForm, pp // TableForm, ss // TableForm}}, Spacings -> {5, 2}, Dividers -> All] where I would like to look at every element of matrix ss and produce a matrix tt , with zeroes at the locations in ss which have zeroes, and in all other positions do the following: tt = (-1/Subscript[ww, m]) Log[(1 - uu)/(Subscript[pp, m - 1])], where Subscript[ww, m] is the value at index of ww matrix and where Subscript[pp, m - 1] is the value at index-1 of pp matrix. So for example if the first value ever read from matrix ss happens to be 2, then value taken from matrix ww would be from the row 2, but from pp would be from row 1. Also how to tell difference between a 0 as a valid value from within the matrix elemen...
