How can I make the lines for the x- and y-axes thicker in Julia Plots?
Is there a simple way to achieve this?
MWE:
using Plots
Nx, Ny = 101,101
x = LinRange(0, 100, Nx)
y = LinRange(0, 100, Ny)
foo(x,y; x0=50, y0=50, sigma =1) = exp(- ((x-x0)^2 + (y-y0)^2)/(2*sigma^2) )
NA = [CartesianIndex()] # for "newaxis"
Z = foo.(x[:,NA], y[NA,:], sigma=10);
hm = heatmap(x, y, Z, xlabel="x", ylabel="y", c=cgrad(:Blues_9), clim=(0,1))
plot(hm, tickfontsize=10, labelfontsize=14)
Leads to:
The posts I found so far suggested that this was not possible:
https://discourse.julialang.org/t/plots-jl-modify-frame-thickness/24258/4
https://github.com/JuliaPlots/Plots.jl/issues/1099
It this still so?
The actual code for my plot is much longer.
I would not like to rewrite all of it in a different plot library.
Currently, there does not seem to be an attribute for axes thickness in Plots.jl.
As a workaround, you may use the attribute thickness_scaling, which will scale the thickness of everything: lines, grid lines, axes lines, etc. Since you only want to change the thickness of axes, you need to scale down the others. Here is your example code doing that using pyplot backend.
using Plots
pyplot() # use pyplot backend
Nx, Ny = 101,101
x = LinRange(0, 100, Nx)
y = LinRange(0, 100, Ny)
foo(x,y; x0=50, y0=50, sigma =1) = exp(- ((x-x0)^2 + (y-y0)^2)/(2*sigma^2) )
NA = [CartesianIndex()] # for "newaxis"
Z = foo.(x[:,NA], y[NA,:], sigma=10);
hm = heatmap(x, y, Z, xlabel="x", ylabel="y", c=cgrad(:Blues_9), clim=(0,1))
plot(hm, tickfontsize=10, labelfontsize=14) # your previous plot
# here is the plot code that shows the same plot with thicker axes on a new window
# note that GR backend does not support `colorbar_tickfontsize` attribute
plot(hm, thickness_scaling=2, tickfontsize=10/2, labelfontsize=14/2, colorbar_tickfontsize=8/2, reuse=false)
See Julia Plots Documentation for more about plot attributes.
A simple workaround where you do not need to add attributes for all the fonts is to add verticle and horizontal lines at the limits for x and y of the plots. For example, if I have a figure fig with 4 subplots, each with the same bounds, I can use this to get a thicker box frame:
for i ∈ 1:4
vline!(fig[i], [xlim_lb, xlim_ub],
linewidth=3,
color=:black,
label=false)
hline!(fig[i], [ylim_lb, ylim_ub],
linewidth=3,
color=:black,
label=false)
end
or for the original example here, add this to the end:
frame_thickness = 5
vline!([x[1], x[end]], color=:black, linewidth=frame_thickness, label=false)
hline!([y[1], y[end]], color=:black, linewidth=frame_thickness, label=false)
I am trying to plot a 3D space time cube in R and I want to have a basemap.
I am using rgl library. I know how to plot my data using x, y and z, where z is the time variable. I have also managed to download a map that I want to use as reference from openstreetmap, using the library in R. However, I cannot find a way to plot my data on the map in a 3D environment. I found the following code in several sites and as an answer to a similar question:
map3d <- function(map, ...){
if(length(map$tiles)!=1){stop("multiple tiles not implemented") }
nx = map$tiles[[1]]$xres
ny = map$tiles[[1]]$yres
xmin = map$tiles[[1]]$bbox$p1[1]
xmax = map$tiles[[1]]$bbox$p2[1]
ymin = map$tiles[[1]]$bbox$p1[2]
ymax = map$tiles[[1]]$bbox$p2[2]
xc = seq(xmin,xmax,len=ny)
yc = seq(ymin,ymax,len=nx)
colours = matrix(map$tiles[[1]]$colorData,ny,nx)
m = matrix(0,ny,nx)
surface3d(xc,yc,m,col=colours, ...)
}
However, I cannot really understand how it works.
Here's my code so far:
library(rgl)
library(ggplot2)
library(OpenStreetMap)
map <- openmap(c(53.5,73.6),c(15.7,134.7),type= 'esri-topo')
plot3d(x,y,z, col= colour) # to plot my data
autoplot(map) # to plot the map. though this is 2D
Again, I know how to plot my data on a 2D map. Confused with the 3D.
Any hints and tips on how to do this?
One option is to use the newish 'show2d' function in 'rgl'.
library(rgl)
library(OpenStreetMap)
library(raster)
map <- openmap(c(53.5,73.6),c(15.7,134.7),type= 'esri-topo')
## fake up some xyz
xyz <- expand.grid(x = map$bbox$p1,
y = map$bbox$p2,
z = 1:4)
plot3d(xyz, col = "black") # to plot my data
EDIT: this is wrong, it's only fitted to the bounding box
getting the orientation right is confusing, needs to be check with x, y, z arguments to show2d.
show2d(raster::plotRGB(raster(map)))
This function captures the normal plot expression, writes it to PNG and then texture maps it onto a quad in the scene.
I can't quite see how to control the position of the quad for the image texture with the x, y, z args - work in progress.
I have a matrix called ht2. I use persp function to generate a 3D view.
ht2 <- matrix(1, 29, 36)
ht2[4:26,4:33] <- 0
ht2[6:10,6:31] <- 3
ht2[13:17,6:31] <- 3
ht2[20:24,6:31] <- 3
persp(ht2, expand=0.03, theta=25, phi=25, shade=0.75, col=terrain.colors(999,alpha=1))
This gives me:
As you can see, the color from green to yellow to brown changes along y-axis. However, I'd rather want to change it along z-axis.
I'm looking for any simple way to do that.
I found a possible solution in this site:
https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/r-help/2003-July/036151.html
levelpersp <- function(x, y, z, colors=topo.colors, ...) {
## getting the value of the midpoint
zz <- (z[-1,-1] + z[-1,-ncol(z)] + z[-nrow(z),-1] + z[-nrow(z),-ncol(z)])/4
## calculating the breaks
breaks <- hist(zz, plot=FALSE)$breaks
## cutting up zz
cols <- colors(length(breaks)-1)
zzz <- cut(zz, breaks=breaks, labels=cols)
## plotting
persp(x, y, z, col=as.character(zzz), ...)
## return breaks and colors for the legend
list(breaks=breaks, colors=cols)
}
## Example
x <- seq(-10, 10, length=60)
y <- x
f <- function(x,y) { r <- sqrt(x^2+y^2); 10 * sin(r)/r }
z <- outer(x, y, f)
levelpersp(x, y, z, theta = 30, phi = 30, expand = 0.5)
Someone may suggest a way to implement this in original question.
In principle you just have to give col= a matrix with your colours you want to fill the squares with, as simple example:
col=terrain.colors(max(ht2)+1)[ht2[-1,-1]+1]
(this simple version works since ht2 contains integers, otherwise it wouldn't)
This creates all the colours needed: terrain.colours(max(ht2)+1)
and then selects them for each position based on one corner: [ht2[-1,-1]+1]
What Anuj Sharma's answer does is basically a nicer version of this, it assumes you have decimal numbers, so it bins them (breaks & cutting up) and instead of taking one corner it uses the height of the middle point (averaging of the four shifted matrices in getting the midpoint )
Lets consider that I have five 2D-Matrices which describe the magnetic field at different z-Layers. A nice, smoothed version of a 2D-Surface plot can be obtained as follows:
data2_I<-matrix(c(1.0,1.0,0.6,0.6,0.7,0.9,0.9,0.5,0.5,0.5,0.7,0.9,0.9,0.6,0.3,0.4,0.7,0.9,0.9,0.7,0.5,0.5,0.6,0.9,0.9,0.7,0.6,0.6,1.0,1.0), nrow=5)
Z = as.vector(data2_I)
length(Z)
XY=data.frame(x=as.numeric(gl(5,1,30)),y=as.numeric(gl(5,6,30)))
t=Tps(XY,Z)
surface(t)
Now it would be great if I could get a 3D-plot where at different z-Positions these surfaces are plotted. Is there a possibility to do that?
I found an alternative approach: With the package rgl I and the function surface 3D I can stack several 3D-Surface plots within one open3d-window. Lets look at a small example:
library("rgl")
data2_I<-matrix(c(1.0,1.0,0.6,0.6,0.7,0.9,0.9,0.5,0.5,0.5,0.7,0.9,0.9,0.6,0.3,0.4,0.7,0.9,0.9,0.7,0.5,0.5,0.6,0.9,0.9,0.7,0.6,0.6,1.0,1.0), nrow=5)
data0_I<-matrix(c(1.0,1.0,0.6,0.6,0.7,0.9,0.9,0.5,0.5,0.5,0.7,0.9,0.9,0.6,0.3,0.4,0.7,0.9,0.9,0.7,0.5,0.5,0.6,0.9,0.9,0.7,0.6,0.6,1.0,1.0), nrow=5)
data1_I<-2*data0_I
data2_I<-1/data1_I
elv=0
offs=5*elv+1
z0 <- scale*data0_I
z1 <- scale*data1_I
z2 <- scale*data2_I
x <- 1:nrow(z0)
y <- 1:ncol(z0)
palette <- colorRampPalette(c("blue","green","yellow", "red"))
col.table <- palette(256)
open3d(windowRect=c(50,50,800,800))
surface3d(x, y, elv*z0, color = col.table[cut(z0, 256)], back = "lines")
surface3d(x, y, elv*z1+1*offs, color = col.table[cut(z1, 256)], back = "lines")
surface3d(x, y, elv*z2+2*offs, color = col.table[cut(z2, 256)], back = "lines")
axes3d()
aspect3d(1,1,2)
The variables offsand elv are included for cosmetic purposes: offs controls the space between two surface plots and elevation how the z-axes of the surface3d-plots should scale. As I wanted to have a 2D surface plot without any elevation I set it to zero.
I find it challenging to create aesthetically pleasing 3D surfaces in R. I am familiar with the solutions (persp, image, wireframe, lattice, rgl and several other solutions in other questions in SO), but the results are not nice.
Is it possible to create 3D surface plots in R like in MATLAB?
Here is the MATLAB code
% Create a grid of x and y points
points = linspace(-2, 0, 20);
[X, Y] = meshgrid(points, -points);
% Define the function Z = f(X,Y)
Z = 2./exp((X-.5).^2+Y.^2)-2./exp((X+.5).^2+Y.^2);
% "phong" lighting is good for curved, interpolated surfaces. "gouraud"
% is also good for curved surfaces
surf(X, Y, Z); view(30, 30);
shading interp;
light;
lighting phong;
title('lighting phong', 'FontName', 'Courier', 'FontSize', 14);
The plot is modern, colorful, aesthetically pleasing, the code syntax is very readable.
Is this possible in base R?
jet.colors is the R-answer to one of hte Matlab color palettes:
points = seq(-2, 0, length=20)
#create a grid
XY = expand.grid(X=points,Y=-points)
# A z-function
Zf <- function(X,Y){
2./exp((X-.5)^2+Y^2)-2./exp((X+.5)^2+Y^2);
}
# populate a surface
Z <- Zf(XY$X, XY$Y)
zlim <- range(Z)
zlen <- zlim[2] - zlim[1] + 1
jet.colors <- # function from grDevices package
colorRampPalette(c("#00007F", "blue", "#007FFF", "cyan",
"#7FFF7F", "yellow", "#FF7F00", "red", "#7F0000"))
colorzjet <- jet.colors(100) # 100 separate color
require(rgl)
open3d()
rgl.surface(x=points, y=matrix(Z,20),
coords=c(1,3,2),z=-points,
color=colorzjet[ findInterval(Z, seq(min(Z), max(Z), length=100))] )
axes3d()
rgl.snapshot("copyMatlabstyle.png")
I will admit that getting the colors to line up with the "Z-axis" (which is actually the rgl y-axis) seemed very unintuitive. If you want the shiny, specular effect that Matlab delivers you can play with the angle of illumination.
You can also add or remove lighting:
clear3d(type = "lights")
light3d(theta=0, phi=0)
light3d(theta=0, phi=0) # twice as much light.
After:
grid3d("x")
grid3d("y")
grid3d("z")
rgl.snapshot("copyMatlabstyle3.png")
You could have put the y-grid "behind" the surface with:
grid3d("y+")
Similar tweaks to the axes3d or axis3d calls could move the location of the scales.
For further examples, look at http://rgm3.lab.nig.ac.jp/RGM/R_image_list and search for 'plot3d' which brings up examples of the R2BayesX::plot3d function, Look at Karline Soetaert's plot3D package vignette, "50 ways to plot a volcano"
This may well not do everything you want, but I'm posting it in hopes of attracting better answers.
