Specific part of background in a plot - outside plotting area

I need to add a rectangle to my plot that includes being behind the ticks but not the label of my graph.



I know with Prologyou can add a rectangle, like with the code:



Plot[x^2, {x, 0, 3}, Prolog -> {Red, Rectangle[Scaled[{0., 0.8}], Scaled[{1, 1}]]}, Frame -> True, FrameLabel -> {"x", "y"}]


enter image description here



But I need the rectangle to go beyond where it is now, to be wider, and actually be behind the number 8 (but not behind the frame label) and go passed the frame a little bit on other side too. With Background I could cover the whole thing but I am only interested in that rectangle and need the rest of the picture to remain backgroundless.



Is it at all posible?
Thank you!

  • Interestingly, I just got here and had a look at the images. I first saw the images in the two answers and thought, "ugh, this looks ugly with the rectangle extending outside the box". Then I saw the nice image in your question. And finally I was surprised to learn that you actually asked for the style in the answers!

  • Yes. The graph I am trying to make is obviously way more complicated than that but that's what I was looking for. It serves to hightlight other graphics that will be displayed along side this one.

You can use PlotRangeClipping->False and extend the Rectangle:



Plot[x^2, {x, 0, 3},

    Prolog -> {Red, Rectangle[Scaled[{-.03,.8}],Scaled[{1.03,1}]]},

    Frame -> True,

    FrameLabel -> {"x","y"},

    PlotRangeClipping -> False

]

Here is alternative way to do it.



Show[Graphics[{Red, Rectangle[{-0.1, 7.8}, {3, 9}]}, 

  PlotRange -> {{0, 3}, {0, 9}}, AspectRatio -> 1/GoldenRatio, 

  Frame -> True, FrameLabel -> {"x", "y"}], Plot[x^2, {x, 0, 3}]]

Quarter-circle Tiles

up vote 0 down vote favorite I have $99$ identical square tiles, each with a quarter-circle drawn on it like this: [asy] size(1.5cm); draw(Arc((2,0),1,90,180),red+1); draw((0,0)--(2,0)--(2,2)--(0,2)--(0,0)); [/asy] When I arrange the tiles in a $9times 11$ rectangular grid, each with a random orientation, what is the expected value of the number of full circles I form? I think this problem has to do with finding the chance any given 2x2 square has a circle, but I can't find it. expected-value share | cite | improve this question asked Nov 20 at 15:03 6minecraftninja 1 2

build a pushdown automaton that recognizes the reverse language of a given pushdown automaton?

0 I think it's similiar to NFAs. I replace the finite states of the given automaton for start-states for my new automaton. I do it with $epsilon$ -transition from the start state to the actual finite states of the given automaton. The start state of the given automaton will be my accepting(finite) state of my new one. All transitions will be reversed of course to recognize the reversed word. But how do I have to change the stack of the pushdown automaton?
