Passing a function as an argument of another function

Possible Duplicate:
Pass function or formula as function parameter

I am trying to implement a simple Plot[]-like function, with the same synopsis; my first (and unique so far) try would be something along these lines:

MyPlot[f_, {var_, xmin_, xmax_}] := ListPlot[Table[{y, f[y]}, {y, xmin, xmax, (xmax - xmin)/100}]]

however I have to call the function as follows

MyPlot[Sin,{x,0,1}]

while I would prefer calling the function just like Plot[]

MyPlot[Sin[x],{x,0,1}]

I just don't know how to strip the "[x]" when a function is used as an argument to another function. This is not only a matter of consistency with Plot[], it is also needed in order to use a multi-argument function as the argument, such as:

MultiSin[x_,y_]:=Sin[x+y]/(Sqrt[x^2+y^2])
MyPlot[MultiSin[x,1],{x,0,1}]

which is not possible as far as I know with my simple re-implementation.

Answer

SetAttributes[MyPlot, HoldAll]
MyPlot[f_[a___, var_, b___], {var_, xmin_, xmax_}] := 
      ListPlot[Table[{y, f[a, y, b]}, {y, xmin, xmax, (xmax - xmin)/100}]]

MyPlot[Sin[x], {x, 0, 1}]

Mathematica graphics

MultiSin[x_, y_] := Sin[x + y]/(Sqrt[x^2 + y^2])
MyPlot[MultiSin[x, 1], {x, 0, 1}]

Mathematica graphics

MultiMultiMultiSin[v_, x_, y_, z_] := Sin[x + y] Sin[x y z]/Sin[v]/(Sqrt[x^2 + y^2])
MyPlot[MultiMultiMultiSin[5, x, 2, 5], {x, 0, 1}]

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}]

plotting - Filling between two spheres in SphericalPlot3D

Manipulate[ SphericalPlot3D[{1, 2 - n}, {θ, 0, Pi}, {ϕ, 0, 1.5 Pi}, Mesh -> None, PlotPoints -> 15, PlotRange -> {-2.2, 2.2}], {n, 0, 1}] I cant' seem to be able to make a filling between two spheres. I've already tried the obvious Filling -> {1 -> {2}} but Mathematica doesn't seem to like that option. Is there any easy way around this or ... Answer There is no built-in filling in SphericalPlot3D . One option is to use ParametricPlot3D to draw the surfaces between the two shells: Manipulate[ Show[SphericalPlot3D[{1, 2 - n}, {θ, 0, Pi}, {ϕ, 0, 1.5 Pi}, PlotPoints -> 15, PlotRange -> {-2.2, 2.2}], ParametricPlot3D[{ r {Sin[t] Cos[1.5 Pi], Sin[t] Sin[1.5 Pi], Cos[t]}, r {Sin[t] Cos[0 Pi], Sin[t] Sin[0 Pi], Cos[t]}}, {r, 1, 2 - n}, {t, 0, Pi}, PlotStyle -> Yellow, Mesh -> {2, 15}]], {n, 0, 1}]

plotting - Mathematica: 3D plot based on combined 2D graphs

I have several sigmoidal fits to 3 different datasets, with mean fit predictions plus the 95% confidence limits (not symmetrical around the mean) and the actual data. I would now like to show these different 2D plots projected in 3D as in but then using proper perspective. In the link here they give some solutions to combine the plots using isometric perspective, but I would like to use proper 3 point perspective. Any thoughts? Also any way to show the mean points per time point for each series plus or minus the standard error on the mean would be cool too, either using points+vertical bars, or using spheres plus tubes. Below are some test data and the fit function I am using. Note that I am working on a logit(proportion) scale and that the final vertical scale is Log10(percentage). (* some test data *) data = Table[Null, {i, 4}]; data[[1]] = {{1, -5.8}, {2, -5.4}, {3, -0.8}, {4, -0.2}, {5, 4.6}, {1, -6.4}, {2, -5.6}, {3, -0.7}, {4, 0.04}, {5, 1.0}, {1, -6.8}, {2, -4.7}, {3, -1....
