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[π/5]}}, Sin[π/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}]] &
    ]

fan with special image effect



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.

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]],
