plotting - Styling individual bars in a BarChart with grouped data


Consider the following:


fakedata = RandomReal[{4, 9}, {5, 10}];
BarChart[fakedata, BarSpacing -> {0, 0.4}, 
 ChartBaseStyle -> EdgeForm[], 
 ChartStyle -> {{Magenta, Blue, Red, Orange, Green}, Opacity[#] & /@ Range[0.1, 1, 0.1]}]

enter image description here



This is all well and good, but what I really want is the following, but grouped, so that the bars are opaque, the ticks come out how I want them, and the little space in between the groups (from the BarSpacing option) shows up:


BarChart[Flatten@fakedata, BarSpacing -> {0, 0.4}, 
 ChartBaseStyle -> EdgeForm[], 
 ChartStyle -> 
  Flatten@Outer[Blend[{{0, White}, {0.7, #1}, {1.1, Black}}, #2] &, {Magenta, 
     Blue, Red, Orange, Green}, Range[0.1, 1, 0.1]]]

enter image description here


Unfortunately if I create a "matrix" of colours as the value of the ChartStyle option, only the second list is picked up, and I get this:


BarChart[fakedata, BarSpacing -> {0, 0.4}, 

 ChartBaseStyle -> EdgeForm[], 
 ChartStyle -> Outer[Blend[{{0, White}, {0.7, #1}, {1.1, Black}}, #2] &, {Magenta, 
    Blue, Red, Orange, Green}, Range[0.1, 1, 0.1]]]

enter image description here


How can I style my bars individually like in the second example, when the data are grouped?



Answer



 fakedata = RandomReal[{4, 9}, {5, 10}];
 styles = Outer[Blend[{{0, White}, {0.7, #1}, {1.1, Black}}, #2] &, {Magenta, Blue,
 Red, Orange, Green}, Range[0.1, 1, 0.1]];

 BarChart[MapThread[Style, {fakedata, styles}, 2] (*thanks: Verbeia & Mr.Wizard *),
 BarSpacing -> {0, 0.4}, ChartBaseStyle -> EdgeForm[]]

enter image description here


Alternatively, one replace MapThread[...] by :


 Partition[Inner[Style, Flatten@fakedata, Flatten@styles, List], 10] (* thanks: VLC *)
 (* or *)
 ArrayReshape[Inner[Style, Flatten@fakedata, Flatten@styles, List], {5, 10}] (* Version  9 *)

Update: Using ChartElementFunction



 cedFX[{{xmin_, xmax_}, {ymin_, ymax_}}, ___] := {Dynamic@
   Blend[{{0, White}, {0.7, CurrentValue["Color"]}, {1.1, Black}}, 
   ((1/10) Mod[xmin - .4 Quotient[xmin, 10], 10])],
   Rectangle[{xmin, ymin}, {xmax, ymax}]}; 
  BarChart[fakedata, BarSpacing -> {0, 0.4}, ChartBaseStyle -> EdgeForm[],
  ChartElementFunction -> cedFX,
  ChartStyle -> {{Magenta, Blue, Red, Orange, Green}, None}]

enter image description here


(Note: needs better tuning of the blending parameter as a function of xmin,xmax and the value of the BarSpacing option)

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...

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}]
