plotting - Only significands on y-axis


I would like to create plot similiar to this: matlabplot


where significands are on y-axis, while ×104 is above the plot (or could be placed at any place in graph). So far I managed to get only exponent right, using this code:


f[x_] := 100 Exp[x] Sin[20  x];
ymax = 1.5*^4;
ymin = -1.5*^4;
xticks = {#, #} & /@ Range[0, 5, 0.5];
yticks = 
  Map[
    {#, NumberForm[#, {3, 1}, ExponentFunction -> (4 &)]} &, 

    N[FindDivisions[{ymin, ymax}, 6]]];

 Plot[f[x], {x, 0, 5}, 
   PlotRange -> {{0, 5}, {ymin, ymax}}, 
   Frame -> True, 
   FrameTicks -> {{yticks, None}, {xticks, None}}, 
   Axes -> False]

I will be grateful for any help.



Answer




You can use the internal function Charting`ScaledTicks to get the needed ticks:


plot = Plot[
    f[x],
    {x, 0, 5},
    PlotRange->{{0,5}, {-15000,15000}},
    Frame->True,
    FrameTicks->{{Charting`ScaledTicks[{10^4#&, 10^-4#&}],None}, {Automatic,None}}
]

If you want to add ×104 above the plot, you need to expand the padding. A good way to do this is to use my GraphicsInformation function to obtain this information. Install with:


PacletInstall[
    "GraphicsInformation",
    "Site" -> "http://raw.githubusercontent.com/carlwoll/GraphicsInformation/master"
]

Then, load it:


<

The image padding is then:



pad = "ImagePadding" /. GraphicsInformation[plot]


{{23., 4.}, {17., 6.5}}



So, the final plot looks like:


Show[
    plot,
    Epilog -> Text[Row@{"\[Times] ", Superscript[10, 4]}, Offset[{0, 10}, Scaled[{0, 1}]], {-1, 0}],
    PlotRangeClipping->False,

    ImagePadding -> pad + {{0, 0}, {0, 14}}
]

enter image description here

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...

mathematical optimization - Minimizing using indices, error: Part::pkspec1: The expression cannot be used as a part specification

I want to use Minimize where the variables to minimize are indices pointing into an array. Here a MWE that hopefully shows what my problem is. vars = u@# & /@ Range[3]; cons = Flatten@ { Table[(u[j] != #) & /@ vars[[j + 1 ;; -1]], {j, 1, 3 - 1}], 1 vec1 = {1, 2, 3}; vec2 = {1, 2, 3}; Minimize[{Total@((vec1[[#]] - vec2[[u[#]]])^2 & /@ Range[1, 3]), cons}, vars, Integers] The error I get: Part::pkspec1: The expression u[1] cannot be used as a part specification. >> Answer Ok, it seems that one can get around Mathematica trying to evaluate vec2[[u[1]]] too early by using the function Indexed[vec2,u[1]] . The working MWE would then look like the following: vars = u@# & /@ Range[3]; cons = Flatten@{ Table[(u[j] != #) & /@ vars[[j + 1 ;; -1]], {j, 1, 3 - 1}], 1 vec1 = {1, 2, 3}; vec2 = {1, 2, 3}; NMinimize[ {Total@((vec1[[#]] - Indexed[vec2, u[#]])^2 & /@ R...

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}]
