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}}
]

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 - 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}] 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! Answer 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]],
