plotting - Only significands on y-axis


I would like to create plot similiar to this: matlabplot


where significands are on y-axis, while $ \times 10^{4} $ 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 $\times 10^{4}$ 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

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-...

plotting - Magnifying Glass on a Plot

Although there is a trick in TEX magnifying glass but I want to know is there any function to magnifying glass on a plot with Mathematica ? For example for a function as Sin[x] and at x=Pi/6 Below, this is just a picture desired from the cited site. the image got huge unfortunately I don't know how can I change the size of an image here! Answer Insetting a magnified part of the original Plot A) by adding a new Plot of the specified range xPos = Pi/6; range = 0.2; f = Sin; xyMinMax = {{xPos - range, xPos + range}, {f[xPos] - range*GoldenRatio^-1, f[xPos] + range*GoldenRatio^-1}}; Plot[f[x], {x, 0, 5}, Epilog -> {Transparent, EdgeForm[Thick], Rectangle[Sequence @@ Transpose[xyMinMax]], Inset[Plot[f[x], {x, xPos - range, xPos + range}, Frame -> True, Axes -> False, PlotRange -> xyMinMax, ImageSize -> 270], {4., 0.5}]}, ImageSize -> 700] B) by adding a new Plot within a Circle mf = RegionMember[Disk[{xPos, f[xPos]}, {range, range/GoldenRatio}]] Show...
