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)

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

I have data in format data = {{a1, a2}, {b1, b2}, {c1, c2}, {d1, d2}} Tableform: I want to thread it to : tdata = {{{a1, b1}, {a2, b2}}, {{a1, c1}, {a2, c2}}, {{a1, d1}, {a2, d2}}} Tableform: And I would like to do better then pseudofunction[n_] := Transpose[{data2[[1]], data2[[n]]}]; SetAttributes[pseudofunction, Listable]; Range[2, 4] // pseudofunction Here is my benchmark data, where data3 is normal sample of real data. data3 = Drop[ExcelWorkBook[[Column1 ;; Column4]], None, 1]; data2 = {a #, b #, c #, d #} & /@ Range[1, 10^5]; data = RandomReal[{0, 1}, {10^6, 4}]; Here is my benchmark code kptnw[list_] := Transpose[{Table[First@#, {Length@# - 1}], Rest@#}, {3, 1, 2}] &@list kptnw2[list_] := Transpose[{ConstantArray[First@#, Length@# - 1], Rest@#}, {3, 1, 2}] &@list OleksandrR[list_] := Flatten[Outer[List, List@First[list], Rest[list], 1], {{2}, {1, 4}}] paradox2[list_] := Partition[Riffle[list[[1]], #], 2] & /@ Drop[list, 1] RM[list_] := FoldList[Transpose[{First@li...

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...
