front end - some Graphics output do not fully render on the screen until an extra click is made into the notebook


Sometimes when using a command such as Grid and looking at the output, some of the actual lines (frame, gridlines) that make up the display will be missing on the screen (not finished rendering)



After shaking the notebook by holding it with the mouse at the corner and just slightly pulling it to make it little bigger or smaller, the display will now finish rendering and any missing parts of the Graphics will show up.


Forcing full rendering can also be achieved by making one extra click of the mouse once anywhere in the notebook.


The Graphics can also be made to fully render by moving another application window over the Mathematica notebook and then removing that application window again, all the time without touching the notebook.


This might make one think it can be a windows/graphics card/monitor issue? Since it looks like a repaint event is needed by the OS.


Using V9, windows 7 64 bit. Intel hardware. ATI Radeon HD 5570 graphics card. (note: On version 8, the same issue is present hence it is not a version 9 specific)


Using Default_8.nb with version 9.


Here is a small example


Grid[{
{
Plot[Sin[x], {x, 0, 2 Pi},

AxesLabel -> {"x", "very very loooooooong"},
ImageSize -> {200, 150}, ImagePadding -> {{50, 20}, {40, 30}}]
},
{
Plot[Sin[x], {x, 0, 2 Pi}, AspectRatio -> 1/3,
AxesLabel -> {"x", "short"}, ImageSize -> {200, 140},
ImagePadding -> {{50, 20}, {40, 30}}]
}
}, Spacings -> {0, 0}, Frame -> All
]


Notice the middle line and the bottom line are missing from the grid. Now Clicking in the code cell once caused it to fully draw. Here is screen shot showing before the click and after the click

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.
