plotting - Sketch-type graphics with transparency and dashed hidden lines?



I'd like to create transparent graphs like the following from P1095, Calculus 6th Ed, by James Stewart. Can Mathematica accomplish this? By "transparent," I mean the ability to see the interior, intersection, boundaries etc. preferrably with dashed hidden lines.


enter image description here


Would someone please explain how to do this for a function like \begin{cases} (4 - z^2) = x^2 + y^2, 2 \le z \le 4 \\ x^2 + y^2 = 4, -2 \le z \le 2 \end{cases}


http://reference.wolfram.com/mathematica/howto/AddTransparencyToPlots.html doesn't appear to be very helpful in that respect.



Answer



Yes we can. The following DashedGraphics3D[ ] function is designed to convert ordinary Graphics3D object to the "line-drawing" style raster image.


Clear[DashedGraphics3D]
DashedGraphics3D::optx = 
        "Invalid options for Graphics3D are omitted: `1`.";
Off[OptionValue::nodef];

Options[DashedGraphics3D] = {ViewAngle -> 0.4, 
            ViewPoint -> {3, -1, 0.5}, ViewVertical -> {0, 0, 1}, 
            ImageSize -> 800};
DashedGraphics3D[basegraph_, effectFunction_: Identity, 
            opts : OptionsPattern[]] /; ! 
            MatchQ[Flatten[{effectFunction}], {(Rule | RuleDelayed)[__] ..}] :=

    Module[{basegraphClean = basegraph /. (Lighting -> _):>Sequence[], exceptopts, fullopts, frontlayer, dashedlayer, borderlayer,
            face3DPrimitives = {Cuboid, Cone, Cylinder, Sphere, Tube, 
                    BSplineSurface}

            },

        exceptopts = FilterRules[{opts}, Except[Options[Graphics3D]]];
        If[exceptopts =!= {},
            Message[DashedGraphics3D::optx, exceptopts]
            ];
        fullopts = 
            Join[FilterRules[Options[DashedGraphics3D], Except[#]], #] &@
                FilterRules[{opts}, Options[Graphics3D]];


        frontlayer = Show[
                    basegraphClean /. Line[pts__] :> {Thick, Line[pts]} /.
                        h_[pts___] /; MemberQ[face3DPrimitives, h]
                                :> {EdgeForm[{Thick}], h[pts]},
                    fullopts,
                    Lighting -> {{"Ambient", White}}
                    ] // Rasterize;

        dashedlayer = Show[
                    basegraphClean /.

                            {Polygon[__] :> {}, Line[pts__] :> {Dashed, Line[pts]}} /.
                        h_[pts___] /; MemberQ[face3DPrimitives, h]
                                :> {FaceForm[], EdgeForm[{Dashed}], h[pts]},
                    fullopts
                    ] // Rasterize;

        borderlayer = Show[basegraphClean /. RGBColor[__] :> Black,
                            ViewAngle -> (1 - .001) OptionValue[ViewAngle],
                            Lighting -> {{"Ambient", Black}},
                            fullopts,

                            Axes -> False, Boxed -> False
                            ] // Rasterize // GradientFilter[#, 1] & // ImageAdjust;

        ImageSubtract[frontlayer, dashedlayer] // effectFunction //
                        ImageAdd[frontlayer // ColorNegate, #] & //
                    ImageAdd[#, borderlayer] & //
                ColorNegate // ImageCrop
        ]

Usage:



DashedGraphics3D[ ] has three kinds of arguments. The basegraph is the Graphics3D[ ] you want to convert. The effectFunction is an optional argument, which when used will perform the corresponding image effect to the hidden part. The opts are options intended for internal Graphics3D[ ], which are mainly used to determine the posture of the final output. When omitted, it takes values as defined by Options[DashedGraphics3D].


Example:


graph1 = Show[{
                SphericalPlot3D[
                    1, {θ, 1/5 1.2 π, π/2}, {ϕ, 0, 1.8 π},
                    PlotStyle -> White,
                    PlotPoints -> 50, Mesh -> None, BoundaryStyle -> Black],
                SphericalPlot3D[
                    1, {θ, 0, π/5}, {ϕ, π/4, 2.1 π},
                    PlotStyle -> FaceForm[Lighter[Blue, .9], GrayLevel[.9]],

                    PlotPoints -> 50, Mesh -> None, BoundaryStyle -> Black],
                Graphics3D[{FaceForm[Lighter[Pink, .8], GrayLevel[.8]], 
                        Cylinder[{{0, 0, 0}, {0, 0, .8 Cos[Ï€/5]}}, Sin[Ï€/5]]}]
                },
            PlotRange -> 1.2 {{-1, 1}, {-1, 1}, {0, 1}}, 
            AxesOrigin -> {0, 0, 0}, Boxed -> False,
            SphericalRegion -> True];

DashedGraphics3D[graph1]

DashedGraphics3D[graph1, Lighting -> "Neutral"]

Neutral lighting hemisphere


Sidenote: The hidden border of the cylinder's side-wall can not be extracted by the "shadow" method (described below) used in DashedGraphics3D[ ], so ParametricPlot3D[ ]-akin functions are needed instead of simply Cylinder[ ].


graph2 = ParametricPlot3D[
            {u Cos[v], u Sin[v], Im[(u Exp[I v]^5)^(1/5)]},
            {u, 0, 2}, {v, 0, 2 π},
            PlotPoints -> 20, Mesh -> {2, 5}, MeshStyle -> Red, Boxed -> False,
            BoundaryStyle -> Black, ExclusionsStyle -> {None, Black}];


DashedGraphics3D[graph2]

Add an oil-painting effect:


DashedGraphics3D[graph2,
    ImageAdjust[ImageEffect[Blur[#, 3], {"OilPainting", 3}]] &
    ]

As for OP's example:


graph3 = Show[{
            ContourPlot3D[(4 - z)^2 == x^2 + y^2, {x, -3, 3}, {y, -3, 3}, {z, 2, 4},
                Mesh -> None, BoundaryStyle -> Black, PlotPoints -> 20],
            ContourPlot3D[x^2 + y^2 == 4, {x, -3, 3}, {y, -3, 3}, {z, -2, 2},
                Mesh -> None, BoundaryStyle -> Black]
            },
        PlotRange -> {{-3, 3}, {-3, 3}, {-2, 4}}]

DashedGraphics3D[graph3, ViewAngle -> .6, ViewPoint -> {3, 2, 1}]


OP's graphics


Explanation:


Take graph1 as example. The frontlayer generates a solid style graphic using {"Ambient", White} lighting, where every object supposed to be hidden are all invisible:


frontlayer


The dashedlayer does the opposite to the frontlayer. It sets all faces transparent, and all edges and lines Dashed:


dashedlayer


Apparently, subtracting frontlayer from dashedlayer, we can extract the hidden part with dashed-style (on which effectFunction is applied.), then we add it back to frontlayer:


innerlines


Now the only missed part is the outline contour. We solve this problem by first using {"Ambient", Black} lighting to generate the shadow of the whole graphics, then using GradientFilter to extract the outline, which is the borderlayer:



borderlayer


Combine frontlayer, dashedlayer and borderlayer properly, we get our final result.

functions - Get leading series expansion term?

Given a function f[x] , I would like to have a function leadingSeries that returns just the leading term in the series around x=0 . For example: leadingSeries[(1/x + 2)/(4 + 1/x^2 + x)] x and leadingSeries[(1/x + 2 + (1 - 1/x^3)/4)/(4 + x)] -(1/(16 x^3)) Is there such a function in Mathematica? Or maybe one can implement it efficiently? EDIT I finally went with the following implementation, based on Carl Woll 's answer: lds[ex_,x_]:=( (ex/.x->(x+O[x]^2))/.SeriesData[U_,Z_,L_List,Mi_,Ma_,De_]:>SeriesData[U,Z,{L[[1]]},Mi,Mi+1,De]//Quiet//Normal) The advantage is, that this one also properly works with functions whose leading term is a constant: lds[Exp[x],x] 1 Answer Update 1 Updated to eliminate SeriesData and to not return additional terms Perhaps you could use: leadingSeries[expr_, x_] := Normal[expr /. x->(x+O[x]^2) /. a_List :> Take[a, 1]] Then for your examples: leadingSeries[(1/x + 2)/(4 + 1/x^2 + x), x] leadingSeries[Exp[x], x] leadingSeries[(1/x + 2 + (1 - 1/x...

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-...
