plotting - How can I get the interpolation line from Listplot?


My discrete data is:


data={{1., 5827.}, {3., 6242.}, {15., 6066.}, {60., 5972.}}


I want to get the interpolation line from ListPlot:


pl=ListPlot[data, Joined -> True,InterpolationOrder -> 2, PlotStyle -> Dashed, PlotRange -> {5900, 6300}]

enter image description here


But I can't get the same dash line from InterPolation:


Plot[Interpolation[data, InterpolationOrder -> 2][x], {x, 1, 60}, 
PlotStyle -> Dashed]

enter image description here



How can I get the curve like 1st one?


Or can I get the dash line points automatically?



Answer



More of an extended comment here, but it is clear that ListPlot must use a different interpolation function than is available via Interpolation. We can get a very close approximation by Janus's answer here and amending the Method option. The idea is that ListPlot performs an parametric interpolation on the x and y axes separately.


data = {{1., 5827.}, {3., 6242.}, {15., 6066.}, {60., 5972.}};
pl = ListPlot[data, Joined -> True, InterpolationOrder -> 2,
PlotStyle -> Dashed, PlotRange -> {All, {5900, 6300}}];
pl2 = With[{xyInterpolation =
Interpolation[#, InterpolationOrder -> 2, Method -> "Spline"] & /@
Transpose[data]},

ParametricPlot[Through[xyInterpolation[i]], {i, 1, Length[data]},
AspectRatio -> 2/3, PlotStyle -> Red]];
Show[pl, pl2]

But those curves only match up approximately.


To answer the last question,



"Or can I get the dash line points automatically?"




Yes you can,

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-...

How to thread a list

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...
