plotting - Axes labels as multiples of $pi$


I have a list as containing seven elements:


list={0, 
Cos[t/4] + Cos[(3 t)/4] + I (Sin[t/4] - Sin[(3t)/4]),
0,
-Cos[t/4] - Cos[(3 t)/4] + I (Sin[t/4] + Sin[(3t)/4]),
0,
+Cos[5t/4] - Cos[(3 t)/4] + I (Sin[5t/4] + Sin[(3t)/4]),
Cos[5t/4] - Cos[(3 t)/4] + I (Sin[5t/4] - Sin[(3t)/4])
}


I want to plot Abs[list[[2]]*list[[4]]], Abs[list[[2]]*list[[6]]], Abs[list[[2]]*list[[7]]] from {t,0,8 pi} just in one plot.


I used


Plot[{Abs[list2[[2]]*list2[[3]]], Abs[list2[[2]]*list2[[5]]], 
Abs[list2[[2]]*list2[[9]]]}, {t, 0, 8 π}
]

but the problem is: my favorite situation is scaling the 'x' axes with multiple of pi, for example: pi/6, pi/4, pi/3, pi/2, 5pi/6, 3pi/4, 2pi/3, pi and ... 8 pi.


However, they are not in the similar interval (Pi/6-0 != pi/4-pi/6) and I want to show them with the symbol of pi (Esc pi Esc) on the x axes. Has anyone had an experience with this?



Answer




Try this:


    list = {0, Cos[t/4] + Cos[(3 t)/4] + I (Sin[t/4] - Sin[(3 t)/4]), 
0, -Cos[t/4] - Cos[(3 t)/4] + I (Sin[t/4] + Sin[(3 t)/4]),
0, +Cos[5 t/4] - Cos[(3 t)/4] + I (Sin[5 t/4] + Sin[(3 t)/4]),
Cos[5 t/4] - Cos[(3 t)/4] + I (Sin[5 t/4] - Sin[(3 t)/4])};


Plot[Abs[list[[2]]*list[[4]]], {t, 0, 8 \[Pi]},
Ticks -> {{\[Pi]/6, 3 \[Pi]/4, 2 \[Pi], 4 \[Pi], 6 \[Pi], 8 \[Pi]},
Automatic}]


yielding

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...
