Some time difficulty in a Manipulate program inside a DynamicModule


This work began at Set PlotLabel length.


slopeExplorer[fn_, {x_, xmin_, xmax_}, {y_, ymin_, ymax_}] :=
 DynamicModule[{f, pta, ptb},
  f[t_] = fn /. x -> t;

  Manipulate[
   pta = {a, f[a]};
   ptb = {a, f'[a]};
   Show[
    Plot[{Tooltip[f[x]], Tooltip[f[a] + f'[a] (x - a)]}, {x, xmin, 
      xmax},
     PlotStyle -> {Directive[Blue], Directive[Orange]},
     PlotRange -> {ymin, ymax},
     PlotLabel -> 
      Pane["Slope of tangent line = " <> 

        ToString[PaddedForm[N[f'[a]], {6, 2}]] <> "\n", 200]],
    Plot[Tooltip[f'[x]], {x, xmin - 0.01, a},
     PlotRange -> All,
     PlotStyle -> Directive[Red, Dashed]],
    Graphics[{
      Gray, Line[{pta, ptb}],
      Red, PointSize[Medium], Tooltip[Point[pta], pta],
      Blue, Tooltip[Point[ptb], ptb]
      }]
    ], {{a, xmin, "x"}, xmin, xmax, Appearance -> "Labeled"}

   ]
  ]

The following example seems to work perfectly.


slopeExplorer[2 x^3 - 3 x^2 - 36 x, {x, -5, 6}, {y, -150, 150}]

Moving the slider back and forth works smoothly. No hesitations.


Same thing with this example:


slopeExplorer[6/(1 + x^2), {x, -5, 5}, {y, -10, 10}]


No problems.


However, this example experiences difficulty:


slopeExplorer[(3 + x)/(1 - 3 x), {x, -5, 3}, {y, -10, 10}]

All is well and smooth and the slider moves to the right, but when I get near the vertical asymptote at $x=1/3$, problems start.



  1. Slider seems to lock up.

  2. A small spinning colored wheel starts up, then disappears.

  3. The cell bracket goes black for a moment.



Then all stops and I can select slider, but it starts up again.


Might have something to do with something happening at the vertical asymptote, or it just might ben my limited understanding of avoiding this type of difficulty in Manipulate procedures.


Any thoughts?



Answer



The problem is mostly due to the PlotRange -> All in the second Plot. Also added use of Exclusions


slopeExplorer[fn_, {x_, xmin_, xmax_}, {y_, ymin_, ymax_}] :=
 DynamicModule[{f, fp, pta, ptb, poles},
  f[t_] = fn /. x -> t;
  fp[t_] = f'[t] // Simplify;
  poles = t /. Solve[Denominator[f[t]] == 0, t, Reals];

  If[Length[poles] > 0, Print[StringForm["pole at ``", Thread[x == poles]]]];
  Manipulate[
   pta = {a, f[a]};
   ptb = {a, fp[a]};
   Show[
    Plot[{
      Tooltip[f[x]],
      Tooltip[f[a] + fp[a] (x - a)]},
     {x, xmin, xmax},
     PlotStyle -> {Blue, Orange},

     PlotRange -> {ymin, ymax},
     PlotLabel -> 
      Pane["Slope of tangent line = " <>
        ToString[PaddedForm[N[fp[a]], {6, 2}]] <> "\n", 200],
     Exclusions -> poles],
    Plot[Tooltip[fp[x]], {x, xmin, a + 2 $MachineEpsilon},
     PlotRange -> {ymin, ymax},
     PlotStyle -> Directive[Red, Dashed],
     Exclusions -> poles],
    Graphics[{

      Gray, Line[{pta, ptb}],
      Red, PointSize[Medium], Tooltip[Point[pta], pta],
      Blue, Tooltip[Point[ptb], ptb]}]],
   {{a, xmin, "x"}, xmin, xmax, Appearance -> "Labeled"}]]

slopeExplorer[(3 + x)/((1 - 3 x) (x - 2)), {x, -5, 3}, {y, -10, 10}]

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 - Mathematica: 3D plot based on combined 2D graphs

I have several sigmoidal fits to 3 different datasets, with mean fit predictions plus the 95% confidence limits (not symmetrical around the mean) and the actual data. I would now like to show these different 2D plots projected in 3D as in but then using proper perspective. In the link here they give some solutions to combine the plots using isometric perspective, but I would like to use proper 3 point perspective. Any thoughts? Also any way to show the mean points per time point for each series plus or minus the standard error on the mean would be cool too, either using points+vertical bars, or using spheres plus tubes. Below are some test data and the fit function I am using. Note that I am working on a logit(proportion) scale and that the final vertical scale is Log10(percentage). (* some test data *) data = Table[Null, {i, 4}]; data[[1]] = {{1, -5.8}, {2, -5.4}, {3, -0.8}, {4, -0.2}, {5, 4.6}, {1, -6.4}, {2, -5.6}, {3, -0.7}, {4, 0.04}, {5, 1.0}, {1, -6.8}, {2, -4.7}, {3, -1.
