plotting - Revolution plot with 2 variable


I'm having trouble with RevolutionPlot3D with two variables.


I have this parabola



 ContourPlot[0 == y^2 + x + y + 5, {x, -15, 5}, {y, -10, 10}, AxesLabel -> {x, y, z}]

but when I try to do RevolutionPlot3D with the equation


RevolutionPlot3D[{(y^2 + y + x + 5)}, {y, -5, 5}, {x, -5, 5}, 
                RevolutionAxis -> {1, 0, 0}, PlotRange -> All, AxesLabel -> {x, y, z}]

it won't work, because x should be an Theta. How can I have something similar to


RevolutionPlot3D[{(y^2 + y + 5)}, {y, -5, 5}, {\[Theta], 0, 2 \[Pi]}, 
                 RevolutionAxis -> {1, 0, 0}, PlotRange -> All, AxesLabel -> {x, y, z}]


with a second variable?



Answer



Sometimes you cannot solve for $x$ in terms of $y$ or vice versa: what to do then? One approach is to exploit NDSolve by turning your (implicit) equation into a differential equation. The solution will give $x$ and $y$ in terms of a parameter, which is what RevolutionPlot prefers. This requires an additional equation: I use one that parameterizes the curve by arclength, to make the interpretation of the parameter especially easy.


(The example in the question doesn't need this treatment--but it does require you to recognize that $x$ should be solved for $y$ instead of the other way around. In general neither variable will serve as a parameter: the solution becomes "multiple valued.")


Cubics already get complicated enough, so here to illustrate the procedure, and show how mechanical it is, is a manipulation of a generic cubic curve, rotated around the vertical axis. The equation of the curve is implicitly given by the function f (controlled via two manipulated parameters b and c). The code converts this into a differential equation (using D), solves it for a specified starting point $(x_0, y_0)$, and displays the revolution plot for a $100$ unit section of the curve centered at the starting point (with color representing the parameter itself). Enjoy!


Manipulate[Block[{f, x, y, u, v, t},
  f[x_, y_] := x y^2 - x^3 - b x^2 y + c y^3;
  {u, v} = {x, y} /. NDSolve[{D[f[x[t], y[t]], t] == 0, 
      x'[t]^2 + y'[t]^2 == 1, y[0] == y0, x[0] == x0}, {x, y}, {t, -50, 50}];
  RevolutionPlot3D[Evaluate @ Through[u[t]], {t, -50, 50}, 

      ColorFunction -> (ColorData["Rainbow"][#4] &), PlotStyle -> Opacity[0.9]]
  ],
 {b, -10, 10}, {c, -10, 10}, {x0, -20, 20}, {y0, -20, 20}
 ]

front end - keyboard shortcut to invoke Insert new matrix

I frequently need to type in some matrices, and the menu command Insert > Table/Matrix > New... allows matrices with lines drawn between columns and rows, which is very helpful. I would like to make a keyboard shortcut for it, but cannot find the relevant frontend token command (4209405) for it. Since the FullForm[] and InputForm[] of matrices with lines drawn between rows and columns is the same as those without lines, it's hard to do this via 3rd party system-wide text expanders (e.g. autohotkey or atext on mac). How does one assign a keyboard shortcut for the menu item Insert > Table/Matrix > New... , preferably using only mathematica? Thanks! Answer In the MenuSetup.tr (for linux located in the $InstallationDirectory/SystemFiles/FrontEnd/TextResources/X/ directory), I changed the line MenuItem["&New...", "CreateGridBoxDialog"] to read MenuItem["&New...", "CreateGridBoxDialog", MenuKey["m", Modifiers-...

How to thread a list

plotting - How to draw lines between specified dots on ListPlot?

I would like to create a plot where I have unconnected dots and some connected. So far, I have figured out how to draw the dots. My code is the following: ListPlot[{{1, 1}, {2, 2}, {3, 3}, {4, 4}, {1, 4}, {2, 5}, {3, 6}, {4, 7}, {1, 7}, {2, 8}, {3, 9}, {4, 10}, {1, 10}, {2, 11}, {3, 12}, {4,13}, {2.5, 7}}, Ticks -> {{1, 2, 3, 4}, None}, AxesStyle -> Thin, TicksStyle -> Directive[Black, Bold, 12], Mesh -> Full] I have thought using ListLinePlot command, but I don't know how to specify to the command to draw only selected lines between the dots. Do have any suggestions/hints on how to do that? Thank you. Answer One possibility would be to use Epilog with Line : ListPlot[ {{1, 1}, {2, 2}, {3, 3}, {4, 4}, {1, 4}, {2, 5}, {3, 6}, {4, 7}, {1, 7}, {2, 8}, {3, 9}, {4, 10}, {1, 10}, {2, 11}, {3, 12}, {4, 13}, {2.5, 7}}, Ticks -> {{1, 2, 3, 4}, None}, AxesStyle -> Thin, TicksStyle -> Directive[Black, Bold, 12], Mesh -> Full, Epilog -> { Line[ ...
