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]];

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 - 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[ ...

equation solving - Invert and fit implicitly defined curve

I need to fit an implicitly defined curve. I thought I could get some data out of Solve , and then using FindFit . Therefore, I would like to find the relation the parametric curve defined by $F(x,y)=0$: Solve[-(1/2) + 1/2 (0.41202 BesselK[0, 0.1 Sqrt[x^2 + y^2]] + (0.101483 x BesselK[1, 0.1 Sqrt[x^2 + y^2]])/Sqrt[x^2 + y^2]) == 0, y] But I can't get an output: Solve was unable to solve the system with inexact coefficients or the system obtained by direct rationalization of inexact numbers present in the system. Since many of the methods used by Solve require exact input, providing Solve with an exact version of the system may help. >> Edit: In particular, I would like to fit the data coming from the curve with the expression of another curve, and not with a function $f(x)$. In particular, since this clearly looks like a cardioid , I would like it to fit to something like it. What other strategies could I try?

dynamic - How can I make a clickable ArrayPlot that returns input?

I would like to create a dynamic ArrayPlot so that the rectangles, when clicked, provide the input. Can I use ArrayPlot for this? Or is there something else I should have to use? Answer ArrayPlot is much more than just a simple array like Grid : it represents a ranged 2D dataset, and its visualization can be finetuned by options like DataReversed and DataRange . These features make it quite complicated to reproduce the same layout and order with Grid . Here I offer AnnotatedArrayPlot which comes in handy when your dataset is more than just a flat 2D array. The dynamic interface allows highlighting individual cells and possibly interacting with them. AnnotatedArrayPlot works the same way as ArrayPlot and accepts the same options plus Enabled , HighlightCoordinates , HighlightStyle and HighlightElementFunction . data = {{Missing["HasSomeMoreData"], GrayLevel[ 1], {RGBColor[0, 1, 1], RGBColor[0, 0, 1], GrayLevel[1]}, RGBColor[0, 1, 0]}, {GrayLevel[0], GrayLevel...
