plotting - Adding a thick curve to a regionplot


Suppose we have the following simple RegionPlot:


f[x_] := 1 - x^2
g[x_] := 1 - 0.5 x^2
RegionPlot[{y < f[x], f[x] < y < g[x], y > g[x]}, {x, 0, 2}, {y, 0, 2}]

enter image description here



Now I'm trying to change the curve defined by $y=g[x]$ into a thick black curve, while leaving all other boundaries in the plot unchanged. I've tried adding the region $y=g[x]$ and playing with the plotstyle, which didn't work, and I've tried BoundaryStyle, which changed all the boundaries in the plot. Now I'm kinda out of ideas... Any help would be appreciated!

With


 f[x_] := 1 - x^2
 g[x_] := 1 - 0.5 x^2

You can use Epilog to add the thick line:


 RegionPlot[{y < f[x], f[x] < y < g[x], y > g[x]}, {x, 0, 2}, {y, 0, 2},
            PlotPoints -> 50,
            Epilog -> (Plot[g[x], {x, 0, 2}, PlotStyle -> {Black, Thick}][[1]]),

            PlotStyle -> {Directive[Yellow, Opacity[0.4]],
                         Directive[Pink, Opacity[0.4]],
                         Directive[Green, Opacity[0.4]]}]

or a combination of MeshFunctions, MeshStyle and Mesh with a small value (somehow 0. does not work):


RegionPlot[{y < f[x], f[x] < y < g[x], y > g[x]}, {x, 0, 2}, {y, 0, 2}, 
           PlotPoints -> 50,
           Mesh -> {{0.00001}}, MeshFunctions -> {Abs[#2 - g[#1]] &}, 
           MeshStyle -> Thick, 
           PlotStyle -> {Directive[Yellow, Opacity[0.4]], 

                         Directive[Pink, Opacity[0.4]], 
                         Directive[Green, Opacity[0.4]]}]

or Show to show the region plot with a second plot containing the thick line:


Show[RegionPlot[{y < f[x], f[x] < y < g[x], y > g[x]}, {x, 0, 2}, {y, 0, 2}, 
                PlotPoints -> 50,
                PlotStyle -> {Directive[Yellow, Opacity[0.4]],
                              Directive[Pink, Opacity[0.4]],
                              Directive[Green, Opacity[0.4]]}], 
      Plot[g[x], {x, 0, 2}, PlotStyle -> {Black, Thick}]]

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-...

functions - Get leading series expansion term?

Given a function f[x] , I would like to have a function leadingSeries that returns just the leading term in the series around x=0 . For example: leadingSeries[(1/x + 2)/(4 + 1/x^2 + x)] x and leadingSeries[(1/x + 2 + (1 - 1/x^3)/4)/(4 + x)] -(1/(16 x^3)) Is there such a function in Mathematica? Or maybe one can implement it efficiently? EDIT I finally went with the following implementation, based on Carl Woll 's answer: lds[ex_,x_]:=( (ex/.x->(x+O[x]^2))/.SeriesData[U_,Z_,L_List,Mi_,Ma_,De_]:>SeriesData[U,Z,{L[[1]]},Mi,Mi+1,De]//Quiet//Normal) The advantage is, that this one also properly works with functions whose leading term is a constant: lds[Exp[x],x] 1 Answer Update 1 Updated to eliminate SeriesData and to not return additional terms Perhaps you could use: leadingSeries[expr_, x_] := Normal[expr /. x->(x+O[x]^2) /. a_List :> Take[a, 1]] Then for your examples: leadingSeries[(1/x + 2)/(4 + 1/x^2 + x), x] leadingSeries[Exp[x], x] leadingSeries[(1/x + 2 + (1 - 1/x...
