plotting - Hatched Filling for ListPlot


I am plotting to data curves using ListLinePlot. I like the look of Filling, but this is going to be printed, so I want something both black and white friendly, but giving more definition and separation than changing the opacity of the filling. Ideally, I would either have one hatched and the other filled solid gray, or both hatched in opposite directions or something such that they can be identified separately. This is what I have so far that I may just use if I can't find anything better:


data1 = exPDMIABSA[[1]];
data2 = exPDMIAwater[[1]];
ListLinePlot[{data1, data2},
PlotStyle -> {Black, Directive[Dashed, Black]},
Filling -> Axis,

FillingStyle -> Directive[Opacity[0.7], Gray]]

enter image description here


Three related questions I've found are


RegionPlot (or FillingStyle) using hash lines?


and


Filling a polygon with a pattern of insets


and


How can I make hatching filling of plot


but none seems to address this situation. They seem to be dealing with shapes and (region)plots and not ListPlots. While it is entirely possible that they are very closely related, I'm not sure how to use any of those answers for my situation.



Thanks



Answer



This is what I've ended up doing.


data1 = exPDMIABSA[[1]];
data2 = exPDMIAwater[[1]];
Show[ListLinePlot[{data1, data2},
PlotStyle -> {Directive[Dashed, Black], Black},
Filling -> {2 -> Axis}, FillingStyle -> Gray],
RegionPlot[
y < Interpolation[data1, InterpolationOrder -> 1][x] && y > 0, {x,

300, 375}, {y, 0, 17000}, Mesh -> 50, MeshFunctions -> {1000 #1 - #2 &},
BoundaryStyle -> None, MeshStyle -> Thickness[.005],
PlotStyle -> Transparent]]

Mathematica graphics


The RegionPlot is based on this question after a suggestion in the comments to the question by Szabolcs.


Of course the same could be done for the other region in the opposite direction by switching the sign in the MeshFunctions. Also, because of the scale, the slope of the MeshFunctions was changed. The number of hatchings can be changed by changing Mesh. The default lines were a little thin for me so I thickened them with MeshStyle -> Thickness[.005].


For certain circumstances, it might be easier to define interpolation functions for each data set such as data1func = Interpolation[data1, InterpolationOrder -> 1] and just Plot that.


To me this seemed a little simpler, faster, and more general than the answer by Kuba to this question.

plotting - How to draw lines between specified dots on ListPlot?

I would like to create a plot where I have unconnected dots and some connected. So far, I have figured out how to draw the dots. My code is the following: ListPlot[{{1, 1}, {2, 2}, {3, 3}, {4, 4}, {1, 4}, {2, 5}, {3, 6}, {4, 7}, {1, 7}, {2, 8}, {3, 9}, {4, 10}, {1, 10}, {2, 11}, {3, 12}, {4,13}, {2.5, 7}}, Ticks -> {{1, 2, 3, 4}, None}, AxesStyle -> Thin, TicksStyle -> Directive[Black, Bold, 12], Mesh -> Full] I have thought using ListLinePlot command, but I don't know how to specify to the command to draw only selected lines between the dots. Do have any suggestions/hints on how to do that? Thank you. Answer One possibility would be to use Epilog with Line : ListPlot[ {{1, 1}, {2, 2}, {3, 3}, {4, 4}, {1, 4}, {2, 5}, {3, 6}, {4, 7}, {1, 7}, {2, 8}, {3, 9}, {4, 10}, {1, 10}, {2, 11}, {3, 12}, {4, 13}, {2.5, 7}}, Ticks -> {{1, 2, 3, 4}, None}, AxesStyle -> Thin, TicksStyle -> Directive[Black, Bold, 12], Mesh -> Full, Epilog -> { Line[ ...

list manipulation - Selecting multiple columns from a matrix?

Sample data: data = { {{2013, 1, 1}, 24.13, 167.67, 231.82}, {{2013, 1, 2}, 32.15, 170.92, 225.99}, {{2013, 1, 3}, 35.43, 172.68, 221.67}, {{2013, 1, 4}, 36.73, 173.05, 218.32}, {{2013, 1, 5}, 58.19, 165.96, 197.05}, {{2013, 1, 6}, 69.99, 163.50, 187.52}, {{2013, 1, 7}, 71.37, 154.21, 175.58}, {{2013, 1, 8}, 72.51, 149.66, 163.25}}; I want a DateListPlot with three graphs, so for a matrix formed by columns 1 and 2, one for columns 1 and 3, and 1 for columns 1 and 4. At the moment I'm using this code: data2 = Transpose[{data[[All, 1]], data[[All, 2]]}]; data3 = Transpose[{data[[All, 1]], data[[All, 3]]}]; data4 = Transpose[{data[[All, 1]], data[[All, 4]]}]; DateListPlot[{data2, data3, data4}, Joined -> True, Filling -> {3 -> {1}}] but I have a hunch that this can be done more efficiently. I don't like the Transpose s in particular. Any ideas? edit (for extra credit) What if I need to multiply the second column by 2, which in my solution is simp...

calculus and analysis - Integral of the Sinc product

Let us consider the following integral $$ B_n = \int_0^\infty \prod_{k=1,3,5,\dots}^n\frac{\sin (x/k)}{x/k}dx $$ By definition, Sinc[x] == Sin[x]/x , therefore B[n_?OddQ] := Integrate[Product[Sinc[x/k], {k, 1, n, 2}], {x, 0, Infinity}] B /@ Range[1, 13, 2] {Pi/2, Pi/2, Pi/2, Pi/2, Pi/2, Pi/2, Pi/2} OK, everything is fine. But... B[15] 467807924713440738696537864469 Pi/935615849440640907310521750000 What's going on? Answer As Eckhard wrote in comments B[n] is the n-th Borwein integral . (The letter B was not accidental :) ) This funny properties of Borwein integrals is related to the Fourier transform of Sinc function FourierTransform[Sinc[x], x, k] 1/2 Sqrt[Pi/2] (Sign[1 - k] + Sign[1 + k]) Plot[%, {k, -2, 2}, Filling -> 0] which is the box function. The result is $\pi/2$ while the sum $$ 1/3+1/5+\dots+1/n $$ B_n = \frac{\pi}{2} - \pi \bigg(\sum_{k=3,5,\ldots}^n\frac{1}{k} -1\biggr)^\frac{n-1}{2}\prod_{k=3,5,\dots}^n\frac{k}{k-1}. $$ For $n=15$ it is equal to $$ \frac{46780...
