Accidentally corrupted graphics (?) data of notebook --- now it won't open

In the process of editing my scripts' variable names with a haphazard "replace in all open files" in my text editor, I accidentally replaced portions of graphics data in a notebook (and I believe this is the only issue with the notebook). Here's a sample of my notebook in my text editor:

Cell[BoxData[
  Graphics3DBox[GraphicsComplex3DBox[$Failed, {{
   {Opacity[0.4], EdgeForm[None], 
     GraphicsGroup3DBox[{Polygon3DBox[CompressedData["
1:eJxNnXeYFcXz9e/esIiiIFGUKNw7d0Ewo0y4CIKKAdDdvYqKAQOKOWfFnHPO

4cx7TXSVD2Teu+MDFhwgfljAOT2aud6Wsf2U0A54IVLaBUP0ZtX22vhBf67Z

The \[CapitalOmega] doesn't belong. Unfortunately, "undo" is no longer available, and there's no obvious way for me to sift through and re-replace some of the symbols that I changed (for instance, they aren't all obvious like \[CapitalOmega]). Mathematica can no longer open the notebook (I wait while it grinds and heats-up, then have to force-quit).

Is there some way to delete the graphics (or even all output cells) from the text file? I was considering just trying this (deleting the cells that seem like graphics), but it seems like there might be a lot of ways this could go wrong. Help!

Answer

This should give you back most of your work:

code = Import[

   "https://bitbucket.org/ricopicone/corruptmathematicanotebook/raw/master/CMN.nb", 
   "NB"];
CreateDocument[
 code /. Cell[BoxData[(Graphics3DBox | GraphicsBox)[___]], ___] :> 
   Cell[TextData[
     StyleBox["Here was a graphics", FontColor -> RGBColor[1, 0, 0]]],
     "Text"]]

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.
