mac os x - How to use MacPorts' gcc with CreateLibrary?

Short version: What's the simplest way to use MacPorts' gcc with CreateLibrary?

Long version:

CreateLibrary uses /usr/bin/gcc by default on OS X. I can get it to use clang by using the option "CompilerName" -> "clang++" or "CompilerName" -> "c++" (I'm using C++).

However, I would like to use MacPorts' gcc because it boosts the performance significantly for this particular program I need to compile. It also supports OpenMP; the system compiler doesn't. "CompilerName" -> "g++-mp-5" tells me that

CreateLibrary::instl: The compiler installation directive "CompilerInstallation" -> "/usr/bin" does not indicate a usable installation of "GCC"

So I tried "CompilerInstallation" -> "/opt/local/bin", which is the location of g++-mp-5. This results in the same error:

CreateLibrary::instl: The compiler installation directive "CompilerInstallation" -> "/opt/local/bin" does not indicate a usable installation of "GCC"

Is there a simpler solution than using GenericCCompiler?

Answer

I ended up using the GenericCCompiler driver, as follows:

$CCompiler = {
 "Compiler" -> CCompilerDriver`GenericCCompiler`GenericCCompiler, 
 "CompilerInstallation" -> "/opt/local/bin", 
 "CompilerName" -> "g++-mp-5", 
 "SystemCompileOptions" -> "-O2 -m64 -fPIC -framework Foundation -framework mathlink"
};

The compiler definition should use "SystemCompileOptions" instead of "CompileOptions" so that the user can set their own custom "CompileOptions" when desired.

CreateLibrary[{"mylib.cpp"}, "mylib", 
 "IncludeDirectories" -> "/opt/local/include", 
 "ShellOutputFunction" -> Print, "ShellCommandFunction" -> Print, 
 "Language" -> "C++"]

It is good to note that the "Libraries" and "SystemLibraries" options are not usable on OS X because this driver auto-appends .lib to any library name, which is incorrect on OS X.

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.
