Formating of a graph

Tomáš Hruš

Posted 9 years ago

I have this part of code (see below) - and I cannot understand, why the first line in the graph is not red and why the second line is dashed... See attachement... (Mathematica 10.3.0.0, Windows 10 - 64 bit) Thank you for help! In[22]:= f2 ff2 Out[22]= (x/(k4 + x))^k5 Out[23]= k5 (x/(k4 + x))^(-1 + k5) (-(x/(k4 + x)^2) + 1/(k4 + x)) In[24]:= Plot[{f2, ff2} /. {k4 -> 1, k5 -> 1}, {x, 0, 5}, AxesOrigin -> {0, 0}, GridLines -> Automatic, PlotRange -> {Automatic, Full}, PlotStyle -> {Directive[Red, Dashed], Directive[Blue, Thin]}] Attachments:

In[22]:= f2
ff2

Out[22]= (x/(k4 + x))^k5

Out[23]= k5 (x/(k4 + x))^(-1 + k5) (-(x/(k4 + x)^2) + 1/(k4 + x))

In[24]:= Plot[{f2, ff2} /. {k4 -> 1, k5 -> 1}, {x, 0, 5}, 
 AxesOrigin -> {0, 0}, GridLines -> Automatic, 
 PlotRange -> {Automatic, Full}, 
 PlotStyle -> {Directive[Red, Dashed], Directive[Blue, Thin]}]

Edit: Just noticed Marco beat me to it (: cheers! Hi Tomá! I think (I am not a 100% sure though) that it has to do with when the expressions are evaluated. I think that the when the Plot command applies the PlotStyle, the expression: {f2, ff2} /. {k4 -> 1, k5 -> 1} haven't been evaluated yet and as it is a single expression, rather than a list of two expressions, all PlotStyles are applied on top of each other, rather than individually on each expression. So you get a dashed and thin blue line. Forcing the expression to be evaluated will for example solve your problem: Plot[Evaluate[{f2, ff2} /. {k4 -> 1, k5 -> 1}], {x, 0, 5}, AxesOrigin -> {0, 0}, GridLines -> Automatic, PlotRange -> {Automatic, Full}, PlotStyle -> {Directive[Red, Dashed], Directive[Blue, Thin]}] As I said, I am not a hundred percent sure that this is what is happening but the above code should at least fix the problems you are having!

Hi, it depends on where you substitute and whether that is a delayed definition or not. f2[x_] := (x/(k4 + x))^k5 ff2[x_] := k5 (x/(k4 + x))^(-1 + k5) (-(x/(k4 + x)^2) + 1/(k4 + x)) Plot[{f2[x] /. {k4 -> 1, k5 -> 1}, ff2[x] /. {k4 -> 1, k5 -> 1}}, {x, 0, 5}, AxesOrigin -> {0, 0}, GridLines -> Automatic, PlotRange -> {Automatic, Full}, PlotStyle -> {Directive[Red, Dashed], Directive[Blue, Thin]}] Cheers, Marco

Hi,

it depends on where you substitute and whether that is a delayed definition or not.

f2[x_] := (x/(k4 + x))^k5
ff2[x_] := k5 (x/(k4 + x))^(-1 + k5) (-(x/(k4 + x)^2) + 1/(k4 + x))
Plot[{f2[x] /. {k4 -> 1, k5 -> 1}, ff2[x] /. {k4 -> 1, k5 -> 1}}, {x, 
  0, 5}, AxesOrigin -> {0, 0}, GridLines -> Automatic, 
 PlotRange -> {Automatic, Full}, 
 PlotStyle -> {Directive[Red, Dashed], Directive[Blue, Thin]}]

enter image description here

Cheers,

Marco
