How to Create Discrete Plots of Fourier Series Coefficients in Mathematica 6?

Click For Summary

Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around how to create discrete plots of Fourier series coefficients using Mathematica 6, specifically addressing the absence of the DiscretePlot function available in later versions.

Discussion Character

  • Technical explanation, Homework-related

Main Points Raised

  • One participant seeks assistance in plotting Fourier series coefficients as a discrete plot in Mathematica 6.
  • Another participant suggests using ListPlot as an alternative method for plotting.
  • The original poster inquires about making the lines thicker when they extend from the x-axis.
  • A later reply mentions that in Mathematica 7, the option FillingStyle -> Thickness[0.05] can be used to achieve thicker lines.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants provide different suggestions for plotting, but there is no consensus on the best method for Mathematica 6 specifically, as some responses reference features available only in Mathematica 7.

Hi, I'm trying to plot the coefficients of a Fourier series as a discrete plot. Does anyone know how I could go about doing this? I have mathematica 6 so DiscretePlot isn't there like in 7...

Any help would be great!

awesome thanks! is it possible to make the lines thicker if i have them come up from the x axis? cheers
 
I only have Mathematica 7 to test this with, but giving ListPlot the option FillingStyle -> Thickness[0.05] seems to work.
