interpolation - Make an offset curve (parallel curve)


I have a polynomial curve that I got through interpolation.


pts1 = {{0, 0}, {12, 27}, {31, 52}, {58, 73}, {81, 85}};
y1 = pts1[[#, 1]] & /@ Range[Length[pts1]];
eq1 = Fit[pts1, {1, x, x^2, x^3, x^4}, x]//Chop;



$-2.74861*10^{-6}x⁴+0.00059554 x³-0.0516843 x²+2.7892 x$



eq1 /. x -> y1;


${0,27,52,73,85}$



pl1 = Plot[eq1, {x, Min[y1], Max[y1]}, Epilog -> {Blue, PointSize[0.02], Point[pts1]}, PlotRange -> {{-10, 100}, {-10, 100}}, AspectRatio -> 1, PlotStyle -> {Orange, Thick}]

I want to make another offset curve in 10 units. But I do not know how to proceed within Mathematica.

I made an offset through another software using multiple circles with a 10-unit radius to get the points I need.

Anyway, what would be the appropriate command to get these points?



Answer



This involves an algebraic curve so it can be done in closed form (one approach already shown does this, in the parametric form). We'll do the interpolation below at high precision in order to make some later computations more reliable.


pts1 = {{0, 0}, {12, 27}, {31, 52}, {58, 73}, {81, 85}};
f[x_] = Fit[N[pts1, 200], {1, x, x^2, x^3, x^4}, x];
N[f[x]]


(* Out[1252]= 0. + 2.78920381052 x - 0.0516843269209 x^2 + 
 0.000595539716825 x^3 - 2.74861498447*10^-6 x^4 *)

Here we find the parametric form of the (lower) offset curve).


offset[x_] = 
  With[{deriv = D[{x, f[x]}, x]},
    {grad = {-deriv[[2]], deriv[[1]]}},
    {x, f[x]} - grad/Sqrt[grad.grad]*10];

We check the plot.



ParametricPlot[{{t, f[t]}, offset[t]}, {t, 0, 80}]

We can also implicitize. This part required the high precision interpolation. We could use Rationalize but that can get into round-off and cancellation error problems in plotting, since coefficients appear at very different scales.


imp = First[
   GroebnerBasis[Together[{x, y} - offset[t]], {x, y}, t, 
    MonomialOrder -> EliminationOrder]];
imp // N

We can check the zero contour.


ContourPlot[imp == 0, {x, 0, 60}, {y, 0, 80}]

One will notice we got both upper and lower offsets. This is due to the fact that GroebnerBasis internals will make polynomial relations out of radicals, in effect losing information about sign on square roots.

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]],
