graphics3d - Strange behavior of `BoundaryMeshRegion`


BoundaryMeshRegion is new function of version 10. I am not familiar with the function. I want to decide whether a point is inside or outside in the Boundary using RegionMember. This code is not able to work. why is it?


BoundaryMeshRegion[{{4, 4, 4}, {4, 4, 6}, {4, 6, 4}, {4, 6, 6}, {6, 4,
4}, {6, 4, 6}, {6, 6, 4}, {6, 6, 6}},
Polygon[{{2, 3, 1}, {6, 8, 7}, {2, 5, 6}, {1, 7, 5}, {4, 7, 8}, {2,
6, 4}, {2, 3, 4}, {6, 5, 7}, {1, 2, 5}, {1, 3, 7}, {3, 4, 7}, {8,
4, 6}}]]



BoundaryMeshRegion[{{4, 4, 4}, {4, 4, 6}, {4, 6, 4}, {4, 6, 6}, {6, 4, 4}, {6, 4, 6}, {6, 6, 4}, {6, 6, 6}}, Polygon[{{2, 3, 1}, {6, 8, 7}, {2, 5, 6}, {1, 7, 5}, {4, 7, 8}, {2, 6, 4}, {2, 3, 4}, {6, 5, 7}, {1, 2, 5}, {1, 3, 7}, {3, 4, 7}, {8, 4, 6}}]]



But this is able to work. What is different.


BoundaryMeshRegion[{{4, 4, 4}, {4, 4, 6}, {4, 6, 4}, {4, 6, 6}, {6, 4,
4}, {6, 4, 6}, {6, 6, 4}, {6, 6, 6}},
Polygon[{(*{2,3,1},{6,8,
7},*){2, 5, 6}, {1, 7, 5}, {4, 7, 8}, {2, 6, 4}, {2, 3, 4}, {6, 5,
7}, {1, 2, 5}, {1, 3, 7}, {3, 4, 7}, {8, 4, 6}}]]

Are these bugs too?


Case 1


Graphics3D[{Opacity[0.5], tmp, Opacity[1], Red, PointSize[0.05], 
Point[{2, 0, 0}]}, Boxed -> False]


Blockquote




tmp = RevolutionPlot3D[{2 + Cos[t], Sin[t]}, {t, 0, 2 Pi},
PlotPoints -> 2]; tmp =
GraphicsComplex[tmp[[1, 1]], tmp[[1, 2, 1, 1, 5, 1]]];
r1 = BoundaryDiscretizeGraphics@tmp


Blockquote



RegionQ[r1]



True



RegionMember[r1, {2, 0, 0}]


False



Case 2


BoundaryDiscretizeGraphics[

GraphicsComplex[{{4, 4, 4}, {4, 4, 6}, {4, 6, 4}, {4, 6, 6}, {6, 4,
4}, {6, 4, 6}, {6, 6, 4}, {6, 6, 6}},
Polygon[{(*{2,3,1},{6,8,
7},*){2, 5, 6}, {1, 7, 5}, {4, 7, 8}, {2, 6, 4}, {2, 3, 4}, {6, 5,
7}, {1, 2, 5}, {1, 3, 7}, {3, 4, 7}, {8, 4, 6}}]]]

Answer




This is a bug, I think, and I filed it as such: The second region should not evaluate to a RegionQ BoundaryMeshRegion. A BoundaryMeshRegion is valid if it contains a closed surface. The subtle point about BoundaryMeshRegion is that this closed surface is a (sparse) representation of the entire region the surface encloses. Why the first one does not work, I must admit, I do not know. At least it's not obvious to me.


You can use:


bmr = BoundaryMeshRegion[{{4, 4, 4}, {4, 4, 6}, {4, 6, 6}, {4, 6, 
4}, {6, 4, 4}, {6, 4, 6}, {6, 6, 6}, {6, 6, 4}},
Polygon[{{1, 2, 3, 4}, {1, 2, 6, 5}, {2, 3, 7, 6}, {3, 4, 8,
7}, {4, 1, 5, 8}, {5, 6, 7, 8}}]];
rmf = RegionMember[bmr]

To generate the RegionMemberFunction. I just perturbed the coordinates a bit. You could try to replace the quadrilaterals with triangles and see if that works.

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-...

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...
