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)

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...

list manipulation - Selecting multiple columns from a matrix?

Sample data: data = { {{2013, 1, 1}, 24.13, 167.67, 231.82}, {{2013, 1, 2}, 32.15, 170.92, 225.99}, {{2013, 1, 3}, 35.43, 172.68, 221.67}, {{2013, 1, 4}, 36.73, 173.05, 218.32}, {{2013, 1, 5}, 58.19, 165.96, 197.05}, {{2013, 1, 6}, 69.99, 163.50, 187.52}, {{2013, 1, 7}, 71.37, 154.21, 175.58}, {{2013, 1, 8}, 72.51, 149.66, 163.25}}; I want a DateListPlot with three graphs, so for a matrix formed by columns 1 and 2, one for columns 1 and 3, and 1 for columns 1 and 4. At the moment I'm using this code: data2 = Transpose[{data[[All, 1]], data[[All, 2]]}]; data3 = Transpose[{data[[All, 1]], data[[All, 3]]}]; data4 = Transpose[{data[[All, 1]], data[[All, 4]]}]; DateListPlot[{data2, data3, data4}, Joined -> True, Filling -> {3 -> {1}}] but I have a hunch that this can be done more efficiently. I don't like the Transpose s in particular. Any ideas? edit (for extra credit) What if I need to multiply the second column by 2, which in my solution is simp...
