plotting - Using map projections with astronomical data


I noticed that all important "Geoprojections" are available in projections for a spherical reference models: GeoProjectionData function;


1 - I am trying using the sinusoidal projection for astronomical data purposes. I want to use the frames of this projection to plot astronomical points in that map , using right ascension and declination as the coordinates, both in degrees.


In the link below, is a data that can be used, the format is { {RA,DEC, Velociy},....}. Just need the RA, DEC parameters.


DataSample


a. I got the data in {Dec, Ra} :


p = Reverse[#] & /@ rad[[All, {1, 2}]]

b.then I transformed the parameters DEC RA, to sinusoidal numbers:



dat = GeoGridPosition[GeoPosition[p], "Sinusoidal"][[1]]

c. I did the following code:


 GeoListPlot[dat, GeoRange -> All, GeoProjection -> "Sinusoidal", 
 GeoGridLines -> Automatic, 
 GeoGridLinesStyle -> Directive[Dashing[{0.0005, 1 - 0.9950}], Green],
  GeoBackground -> Black, Frame -> True, 
 FrameLabel -> {"RA (\[Degree])", "DEC (\[Degree])"},  
 PlotMarkers -> Style[".", 10, Red]]


And the resulting plot is:


SINUSOIDAL PROJECTION PLOT


But no data was plotted.


And the ranges of Frame Axis are wrong: the horizontal axis has to be middle to left 0 90 180, and middle to right 0 (or 360) 270 180.


In the Vertical Axis: -90(bottom) 0(center) +90(top)


EDIT 1:


The link to wolfram math world about sinusoidal projection : Sinusoidal



Answer



Edit: for general approach to Ticks, go there: GeoProjection for astronomical data - wrong ticks




data = Cases[ Import[FileNames["*.dat"][[1]]],
              {a_, b_, c_} :> {b, Mod[a, 360, -180]}]; (*thanks to bbgodfrey*)

To show points you have to stick with GeoGraphics. GeoListPlot is designed for Entities.


To add something more to the question I changed Ra to hours.


    GeoGraphics[{Red, Point@GeoPosition@data}, 
      GeoRange -> {All, {-180, 180}},
      PlotRangePadding -> Scaled@.01,
      GeoGridLinesStyle -> Directive[Green, Dashed], 
      GeoProjection -> "Sinusoidal", 

      GeoGridLines -> Automatic, 
      GeoBackground -> Black, 
      Axes -> True, 
      ImagePadding -> 25, ImageSize -> 800, 
      Ticks -> {Table[{N[i Degree], Row[{Mod[i/15 + 24, 24]," h"}]}, {i, -180, 180, 30}], 
                Table[{N[i Degree], Row[{i, " \[Degree]"}]}, {i, -90, 90, 15}]}, 
      Background -> Black, 
      AxesStyle -> White, 
      TicksStyle -> 15]

Or change every option with Axes to Frame and:

With coloring:


pre = Cases[ Import[FileNames["*.dat"][[1]]], {a_, b_, c_} :> {b, Mod[a, 360, -180], c}];
data = pre[[All, {1, 2}]];
col = Blend[{Yellow, Red}, #] & /@ Rescale[pre[[All, 3]]];




GeoGraphics[{AbsolutePointSize@5, 
  Point[GeoPosition@data, VertexColors -> (col)]}, ...

enter image description here



pics = Table[
   GeoGraphics[{AbsolutePointSize@5, 
     Point[GeoPosition[{#, Mod[#2, 360, -180 + t]} & @@@ data], 
      VertexColors -> (col)]}, PlotRangePadding -> Scaled@.01,

    GeoGridLinesStyle -> Directive[Green, Dashed], 
    GeoProjection -> "Bonne", GeoGridLines -> Automatic, 
    GeoBackground -> Black, ImagePadding -> 55, ImageSize -> 400, 
    GeoRange -> "World", GeoCenter -> GeoPosition[{0, t}],
    Background -> Black, FrameStyle -> White, FrameTicksStyle -> 15],
   {t, -180, 170, 5}];

Export["gif.gif", pics, "DisplayDurations" -> 1/24.]

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.
