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]

Mathematica graphics


But those curves only match up approximately.


To answer the last question,



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




Yes you can,

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...

mathematical optimization - Minimizing using indices, error: Part::pkspec1: The expression cannot be used as a part specification

I want to use Minimize where the variables to minimize are indices pointing into an array. Here a MWE that hopefully shows what my problem is. vars = u@# & /@ Range[3]; cons = Flatten@ { Table[(u[j] != #) & /@ vars[[j + 1 ;; -1]], {j, 1, 3 - 1}], 1 vec1 = {1, 2, 3}; vec2 = {1, 2, 3}; Minimize[{Total@((vec1[[#]] - vec2[[u[#]]])^2 & /@ Range[1, 3]), cons}, vars, Integers] The error I get: Part::pkspec1: The expression u[1] cannot be used as a part specification. >> Answer Ok, it seems that one can get around Mathematica trying to evaluate vec2[[u[1]]] too early by using the function Indexed[vec2,u[1]] . The working MWE would then look like the following: vars = u@# & /@ Range[3]; cons = Flatten@{ Table[(u[j] != #) & /@ vars[[j + 1 ;; -1]], {j, 1, 3 - 1}], 1 vec1 = {1, 2, 3}; vec2 = {1, 2, 3}; NMinimize[ {Total@((vec1[[#]] - Indexed[vec2, u[#]])^2 & /@ R...

What is and isn't a valid variable specification for Manipulate?

I have an expression whose terms have arguments (representing subscripts), like this: myExpr = A[0] + V[1,T] I would like to put it inside a Manipulate to see its value as I move around the parameters. (The goal is eventually to plot it wrt one of the variables inside.) However, Mathematica complains when I set V[1,T] as a manipulated variable: Manipulate[Evaluate[myExpr], {A[0], 0, 1}, {V[1, T], 0, 1}] (*Manipulate::vsform: Manipulate argument {V[1,T],0,1} does not have the correct form for a variable specification. >> *) As a workaround, if I get rid of the symbol T inside the argument, it works fine: Manipulate[ Evaluate[myExpr /. T -> 15], {A[0], 0, 1}, {V[1, 15], 0, 1}] Why this behavior? Can anyone point me to the documentation that says what counts as a valid variable? And is there a way to get Manpiulate to accept an expression with a symbolic argument as a variable? Investigations I've done so far: I tried using variableQ from this answer , but it says V[1...
