plotting - Asymmetric X and Y error bars on ListLogPlot


The wonderful error bar log plots package ErrorBarLogPlots from V6 no longer positions labels correctly (since v9 or maybe v8) so I used the same function with Prolog to place a list of labels.


Then in v10 beta PlotRangePadding no longer works either and I can't find a work around for that, so I tried to go back to basics and use the very elegant solution by Belisarius' et.al in:



Plotting Error Bars on a Log Scale


I was able to modify this to make asymmetric $Y$ error bars, then I tried to add $X$-errors and got tied up in knots with the Joined and Filling commands.


The aim is to plot a set of $5$ lists of xy values, {xy, xyP, xyM, xPy, xMy} where P and M refer to the plus and minus error of the $x$ or $y$ value preceding it, with a Filling / Joined statement that joins the first point to the other 4 points.


Ideally the plot symbols should also switch between vertical and horizontal bars for the $x$ and $y$ error points and something else for the $x, y$ point. (I asked Support about including an errorlistlogplot command in Mathematica but I expect it won't make it into v10).


The lines below generate and plot the 5 sets of points. Is there a straightforward combination of Filling / Joined statements to achieve this?


SeedRandom[1234]
dataX = Sort@RandomReal[{0.5, 1}, 10];
dataY = RandomReal[{0.5, 1}, 10];
{errorYP, errorYM, errorXP, errorXM} = RandomReal[.5, {4, 10}];
dataYP = dataY + errorYP;

dataYM = dataY - errorYM;
dataXP = dataX + errorXP;
dataXM = dataX - errorXM;
xy = Transpose[{dataX, dataY}];
xyP = Transpose[{dataX, dataYP}];
xyM = Transpose[{dataX, dataYM}];
xPy = Transpose[{dataXP, dataY}];
xMy = Transpose[{dataXM, dataY}];

ePlot[plotFun_, data_] := plotFun[data, Filling -> Automatic, PlotRange -> All,

                                        Joined -> {False, False, False, False, False}];

ePlot[ListLogPlot, {xy, xyP, xyM, xPy, xMy}]

Answer



README: This answer is not correct scientifically, I just transformed error bars to log scale instead of doing a correct error propagation. Didn't have time to fix it yet :(



Here's a minimal example:


data = {{20, 100}, {30, 10}, {100, 1000}, {500, 1000}};

xer = {{10, 10}, {20, 300}, {50, 50}, {100, 200}};
yer = {{50, 50}, {5, 50}, {100, 500}, {300, 100}};

errorPlot[#, data, xer, yer] & /@ {ListPlot, ListLogPlot, 
                                   ListLogLogPlot, ListLogLinearPlot};

enter image description here


Code:


errorPlot[plot_, data_, xer_, yer_] := With[{
       tr = Transpose@data,

       arrow = Graphics[{Red, Line[{{0, 1/2}, {0, -1/2}}]}]},
      Module[{PlusMinus, limits, limitsRescaled, dataRescaled, lines, scale},

       scale = plot /. {ListPlot -> {# &, # &}, ListLogPlot -> {# &, Log}, 
                        ListLogLogPlot -> {Log, Log}, ListLogLinearPlot -> {Log, # &}};

       PlusMinus[a_, b_] := {a - b[[1]], a + b[[2]]};
       limits =  MapThread[MapThread[PlusMinus, {#, #2}] &,
                           {tr, {xer, yer}}];


       limitsRescaled = MapThread[Compose, {scale, limits}];   
       dataRescaled = MapThread[Compose, {scale, tr}];

       lines = Flatten[
                MapAt[Reverse, 
                      MapThread[{{#2[[1]], #}, {#2[[2]], #}} &, 
                                {Reverse@dataRescaled, limitsRescaled}, 2], 
                      {2, ;; , ;;}], 1];   

        Show[

         plot[data, PlotStyle -> AbsolutePointSize@7, Axes -> False, Frame -> True, 
                    BaseStyle -> 18, ImageSize -> 500],
         Graphics[{Arrowheads[{{-.02, 0, arrow}, {.02, 1, arrow}}], Thick, Arrow[lines]}]
         ,
         PlotRange -> ({Min[#], Max[#]} & /@ Transpose@Flatten[lines, 1])]]]

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 - 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 - 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.
