Perhaps someone could help me with this problem. I've been several days
trying to figure it out. Please reply to me directly. I would
appreciate it...
I have successfully used ReadList and ListPlot to read a table of data
from the hard drive and produce a simple scatterplot. What I want to
be able to do is to label each point with a sequence number and vary
the point size according to a third variable.
Example: I wish to plot an inventory of iron artifacts according to
catalog number, weight, easting and northing. The table looks like
this:
number weight easting northing
1 120 55 77
2 50 49 63
3 215 44 55
4 10 65 44
I want the dot size to be proportional to the weight so the plot might
look like this:
[[1]]
(2)
(((3)))
[4]
If I were writing a program in Basic, this would be simple enough. Is
there a way to do this easily in Mathematica or should I write a
program in C?
Thanks,
Nick
