Overlaying two SmoothDensityHistograms
$begingroup$
I want to overlay two objects of SmoothDensityHistogram using Show, in order to highlight a region of the shared plot space. However, the top object completely obscures the bottom one. I tried to set an opacity for the objects, but SmoothDenstiyHistogram does not accept PlotStyle as an argument to pass either Opacity[...] or Directive[Opacity[...]]. Is there a way to make this work?

@CarlLange My histograms are generated from large data files, but any two sets of random data passed into a SmoothDensityHistogram and overlaid will show the issue.

You can do this by setting the ColorFunction
to use Opacity
.
Let's define our ColorFunction
, which basically just returns a color for a given plot value:
cf[z_] := Opacity[z, RGBColor[z, 1 - z, 1]]
(You can also wrap any of the ColorData
functions with that Opacity
and it should work)
Now we can use that to show two plots together:
s1 = SmoothDensityHistogram[
RandomVariate[BinormalDistribution[.2], 10], PlotRange -> {-3, 3},
Frame -> None, ColorFunction -> cf]
s2 = SmoothDensityHistogram[
RandomVariate[BinormalDistribution[.5], 10], PlotRange -> {-3, 3},
Frame -> None, ColorFunction -> cf]
Overlay[{s1, s2}]
