I'd like to use data stored in an external CSV file to fill nodes inside a tikzpicture matrix. If my data is stored as x/y/z, I can write the following loop (put together from this and this):



documentclassstandalone
usepackagetikz
usepackagexcolor
usepackagecatchfile
newcommandloaddata[1]CatchFileDefloadeddata#1endlinechar=-1

beginfilecontents*jobname.dat
1/1/2, 1/2/8, 1/3/2,
2/1/8, 2/2/10, 2/3/8,
3/1/2, 3/2/8, 3/3/2
endfilecontents*

begindocument
begintikzpicture
 loaddatajobname.dat
 foreach x/y/c in loadeddata 
 pgfmathsetmacrokc*10
 fill[color=red!k] (x,y) rectangle +(1,1);
 
endtikzpicture
enddocument


My data, instead, is stored as a matrix of z values (color intensities), e.g.



beginfilecontents*jobname.csv
2, 8, 2
8, 10, 8
2, 8, 2
endfilecontents*


Please help me adapt the code so that I can read the colors from the file and that the x and y coordinates are inferred from the cell position inside the matrix.



The tikzpicture looks like this:

  • Do you want to read the actual color from your dat file (red!20), or do you prefer it as you have it? Also not all these data needed in dat file.... just the color could be enough.

    The data is a matrix of integers and I will map these integers z_i to an intensity of red with red!z_i for each z_i! Thanks.

  • Ok... but it could be a matrix of integers with just the color value like z_i but without 1/1/z_1 1/2/z_2 etc... Would this be accepted or you prefer your own dat file format?

Here is a way if I finally got it. If this is the case and you need modifications about different size of matrix let me know:

 fill[color=red!k] (MySpaceLength*myx,-MySpaceLength*myy) rectangle+ ($(MySpaceLength,MySpaceLength)$);

Here is a solution based on matrix plot that comes with pgfplots. It is taken from this answer, whose second part has some similarity with koleygr's answer. The advantage of the pgfplots solution is that you can use color maps for that. Of course, you can drop the colorbar.

  • Thanks for your answer marmot. I'm going to need to play around with this a little to digest it. I've started reading the links, very useful. Quite frankly, I did not expect that changing the format of the data would induce so much extra work. Thanks!

  • Thanks for your answer koleygr. I think I understand the steps. I'll play around with this a little and get back to you if I get stumped. Perhaps I should have considered making a CSV of my data (obtained with R) in the 1/2/3 format. Might have been easier. That said, it's good to learn how to do this with LaTeX! Thanks.

Here is a solution based on matrix plot that comes with pgfplots. It is taken from this answer, whose second part has some similarity with koleygr's answer. The advantage of the pgfplots solution is that you can use color maps for that. Of course, you can drop the colorbar.

  • Thanks for your answer marmot. I'm going to need to play around with this a little to digest it. I've started reading the links, very useful. Quite frankly, I did not expect that changing the format of the data would induce so much extra work. Thanks!

One-line joke

A one-liner is a joke that is delivered in a single line. A good one-liner is said to be pithy - concise and meaningful. [1] Comedians and actors use this comedic method as part of their act, e.g. Jimmy Carr, Tommy Cooper, Rodney Dangerfield, Norm Macdonald, Ken Dodd, Stewart Francis, Zach Galifianakis, Mitch Hedberg, Anthony Jeselnik, Milton Jones, Shappi Khorsandi, Jay London, Mark Linn-Baker, Demetri Martin, Groucho Marx, Dan Mintz, Emo Philips, Tim Vine, Steven Wright and Henny Youngman and Arnold Schwarzenegger. [ citation needed ] Many fictional characters are also known to deliver one-liners, including James Bond, who usually includes pithy and laconic quips after disposing of a villain. [ citation needed ] Examples "A baby seal walks into a club." "A dyslexic man walks into a bra." (Anonymous) "There are three types of people, those who can count and those who can't." "Venison's dear, isn't it?" (Jimmy Carr) "An escala...
