Python/Numpy array manipulation in Mathematica syntax


As a python programmer, numpy tools usually come to my mind if I want to manipulate arrays (list, matrices, ...). Is there any reference (e.g., dictionary) of how to translate numpy syntax to Mathematica syntax? For instance, assuming a is an array, I found the following translations (python code as quotes, Mathematica code as code):



  • linspace / logspace



a = np.linspace(0,10,11)




a = Array[# &, 11, {0, 10}]
(* {0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10} *)


  • element selection based on condition



a[a>0]



Select[a, # > 0 &]

(* {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10} *)


  • element selection based on other boolean array



s = a>0


a[s]



s = # > 0 & /@ a

Pick[a, s]
(* {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10} *)



a[3:-2:2]



a[[4;;-3;;2]]
(* {3, 5, 7} *)


Such a correspondence list is what I am looking for. Does this already exist? If not, I believe it would be helpful to extend this Q&A post to continuously build such a list.


One thing I am trying to use just now is np.roll. Using the example from above, I am searching for a command that yields


EquivalentOfNpRoll[a,2]
(* {9, 10, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8}

How would I do this? Permute seems to be an overkill. At least it was far from obvious to me how to implement this rolling permutation in a general but compact way.


Update:


From the comments:



np.roll(a,2)




RotateRight[a, 2]
(* {9, 10, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8} *)


a=np.arange(0,11,1)



a = Range[0, 10, 1]

plotting - Filling between two spheres in SphericalPlot3D

Manipulate[ SphericalPlot3D[{1, 2 - n}, {θ, 0, Pi}, {ϕ, 0, 1.5 Pi}, Mesh -> None, PlotPoints -> 15, PlotRange -> {-2.2, 2.2}], {n, 0, 1}] I cant' seem to be able to make a filling between two spheres. I've already tried the obvious Filling -> {1 -> {2}} but Mathematica doesn't seem to like that option. Is there any easy way around this or ... Answer There is no built-in filling in SphericalPlot3D . One option is to use ParametricPlot3D to draw the surfaces between the two shells: Manipulate[ Show[SphericalPlot3D[{1, 2 - n}, {θ, 0, Pi}, {ϕ, 0, 1.5 Pi}, PlotPoints -> 15, PlotRange -> {-2.2, 2.2}], ParametricPlot3D[{ r {Sin[t] Cos[1.5 Pi], Sin[t] Sin[1.5 Pi], Cos[t]}, r {Sin[t] Cos[0 Pi], Sin[t] Sin[0 Pi], Cos[t]}}, {r, 1, 2 - n}, {t, 0, Pi}, PlotStyle -> Yellow, Mesh -> {2, 15}]], {n, 0, 1}]

plotting - Plot 4D data with color as 4th dimension

I have a list of 4D data (x position, y position, amplitude, wavelength). I want to plot x, y, and amplitude on a 3D plot and have the color of the points correspond to the wavelength. I have seen many examples using functions to define color but my wavelength cannot be expressed by an analytic function. Is there a simple way to do this? Answer Here a another possible way to visualize 4D data: data = Flatten[Table[{x, y, x^2 + y^2, Sin[x - y]}, {x, -Pi, Pi,Pi/10}, {y,-Pi,Pi, Pi/10}], 1]; You can use the function Point along with VertexColors . Now the points are places using the first three elements and the color is determined by the fourth. In this case I used Hue, but you can use whatever you prefer. Graphics3D[ Point[data[[All, 1 ;; 3]], VertexColors -> Hue /@ data[[All, 4]]], Axes -> True, BoxRatios -> {1, 1, 1/GoldenRatio}]

plotting - Adding a thick curve to a regionplot

Suppose we have the following simple RegionPlot: f[x_] := 1 - x^2 g[x_] := 1 - 0.5 x^2 RegionPlot[{y < f[x], f[x] < y < g[x], y > g[x]}, {x, 0, 2}, {y, 0, 2}] Now I'm trying to change the curve defined by $y=g[x]$ into a thick black curve, while leaving all other boundaries in the plot unchanged. I've tried adding the region $y=g[x]$ and playing with the plotstyle, which didn't work, and I've tried BoundaryStyle, which changed all the boundaries in the plot. Now I'm kinda out of ideas... Any help would be appreciated! Answer With f[x_] := 1 - x^2 g[x_] := 1 - 0.5 x^2 You can use Epilog to add the thick line: RegionPlot[{y < f[x], f[x] < y < g[x], y > g[x]}, {x, 0, 2}, {y, 0, 2}, PlotPoints -> 50, Epilog -> (Plot[g[x], {x, 0, 2}, PlotStyle -> {Black, Thick}][[1]]), PlotStyle -> {Directive[Yellow, Opacity[0.4]], Directive[Pink, Opacity[0.4]],
