Mathematica Asked by Uttam Pal on April 29, 2021
Can anyone help me please? I don’t want a Histogram; I don’t want a BarChart, not even a ListPlot with drop down lines. I want a list plot with drop down columns/bars: please see the link.
It is basically a histogram but of a different kind. The data structure contains two variables for example in the above figure it was energy and standard deviation. And the frequency distribution was done based on two cut-offs {0.5,2.0} and finally it was plotted along the energy axis. Therefore, it contains overlapping bars/columns. A projection of a 3D histogram in two dimensions.
Why not just assemble the chart from rectangles?
data = {{-6.65, 55}, {-6.45, 15}, {-6.27, 10}, {-6, 5}, {-5.85, 3},
{-6.46, 6}, {-6.25, 3}, {-6.17, 2}};
Graphics[{EdgeForm[{Thick, Black}], RGBColor[0.3, 0.4, 0.4],
Rectangle[{#1 - 0.05, 0}, {#1 + 0.05, #2}] & @@@ data},
Frame -> True, AspectRatio -> 0.7, FrameLabel -> {"Binding Energy", "Cluster Frequency"}]

Although OP says "I don't want a BarChart", the requirements of list plot with drop down columns/bars (overlapping bars/columns) can be achieved using BarChart
with a simple ChartElementFunction
that produces the desired rectangles for each data point:
ClearAll[ceF]
ceF[w_: .1, df_:"Rectangle"] := ChartElementData[df][{#3[[1]] + {-w, w}/2, #[[2]]}, ##2]&;
Examples:
Using @SimonWoods' example data and options:
data = {{-6.65, 55}, {-6.45, 15}, {-6.27, 10}, {-6, 5}, {-5.85, 3},
{-6.46, 6}, {-6.25, 3}, {-6.17, 2}};
Pre-rocess data
to use bin centers as metadata for bin heights:
barchartdata = Rule @@@ (Reverse /@ data);
minmax = Through[{Min, Max}@data[[All, 1]]];
w = .1;
BarChart[barchartdata, ChartElementFunction -> ceFunc[w],
ChartBaseStyle -> Opacity[.8], ChartStyle -> "Rainbow",
PlotRange -> {minmax + {-w, w}, All}, Axes -> False, Frame -> True, AspectRatio -> 0.7,
FrameLabel -> (Style[#, 16, "Panel"] & /@ {"Binding Energy",
"Cluster Frequency"})] /. Line[__] :> Sequence[]
Using w = .05
:
Using a different built-in ChartElementFunction
as input, i.e., with ChartElementFunction -> ceFunc[w, "FadingRectangle"]
:
Define a simple function using data
and plot it using DiscretePlot
with your desired setting for the option ExtentSize
to control bar widths.
ClearAll[dF]
Table[dF[d[[1]]] = d[[2]], {d, data}];
Examples:
w = .1;
DiscretePlot[dF[i], {i, data[[All, 1]]}, Frame -> True,
Axes -> False, PlotRange -> {minmax + {-w, w}, {0, 60}},
ExtentSize -> w, ColorFunction -> "Rainbow",
BaseStyle -> EdgeForm[Gray], PlotStyle -> Opacity[0], AspectRatio -> 0.7,
FrameLabel -> (Style[#, 16, "Panel"] & /@ {"Binding Energy", "Cluster Frequency"})]
Use w = .05
to get
You can also post-process ListPlot
output to change Point
s into Rectangle
s.
ClearAll[pntToRect]
pntToRect[w_: .1] := # /. Point -> (Rectangle[{#1 - w/2, 0}, {#1 + w/2, #2}] & @@@ # &) &;
Example:
pntToRect[]@
ListPlot[List /@ data, PlotStyle -> "Pastel", BaseStyle -> EdgeForm[Gray],
PlotRange -> {minmax + {-.1, .1}, {0, 60}}, Frame -> True,
Axes -> False, AspectRatio -> 0.7,
FrameLabel -> (Style[#, 16, "Panel"] & /@ {"Binding Energy", "Cluster Frequency"})]
