output formatting - is it possible to change/customize some conversions done by TeXForm?


I use TeXForm to convert output of some computation to Latex. I'd like to ask if there is a way to override/change/customize some of these conversions, related to just the name Mathematica assigns to some special functions in its Latex output, since it is not clear what they are in the Latex after the conversion.


Here is an example. FresnelC function is changed to C in Latex. So someone reading the latex PDF, will not really know what C is and I like to keep the name as FresnelC. I suppose I could add note saying that C is FresnelC, but this is all automated, and I do not know before hand that the solution being generated even has FresnelC in it to make the note. I just look at the final Latex output.


MWE


sol = y[t] /. First@DSolve[y'[t] + y[t] Sqrt[t] Sin[t] == 0, y[t], t]


Mathematica graphics


But the Latex output is


TeXForm[sol]
(* c_1 e^{\sqrt{t} \cos (t)-\sqrt{\frac{\pi }{2}}
C\left(\sqrt{\frac{2}{\pi }} \sqrt{t}\right)} *)

Which is rendered as


$$c_1 e^{\sqrt{t} \cos (t)-\sqrt{\frac{\pi }{2}} C\left(\sqrt{\frac{2}{\pi }} \sqrt{t}\right)}$$


I'd like it to still show as the full name FresnelC


$$c_1 e^{\sqrt{t} \cos (t)-\sqrt{\frac{\pi }{2}} \text{FresnelC}\left(\sqrt{\frac{2}{\pi }} \sqrt{t}\right)}$$



So it is more clear. This is how Maple does it also:


Mathematica graphics


This does not only affect the above function, but others as well. For example


 TeXForm[CosIntegral[x]]

gives


$$\text{Ci}(x)$$ and I'd like to keep the same in the Latex as the name in the Mathematica command.


$$\text{CosIntegral}(x)$$


Since it is more clear.


Question is: Is there a way to customize some of these conversions?




Answer



You could use my TeXUtilities package:


Import@"https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jkuczm/MathematicaTeXUtilities/master/NoInstall.m"

Unprotect[FresnelC, CosIntegral];
Format[FresnelC@x_, TeXForm] := TeXVerbatim["\\operatorname{FresnelC}"]@x
Format[CosIntegral@x_, TeXForm] := TeXVerbatim["\\operatorname{CosIntegral}"]@x
(* Move TeXForm format to begining of FormatValues so they take precedence over existing ones. *)
(FormatValues@# = Join[#@False, #@True]&@GroupBy[FormatValues@#, FreeQ@TeXForm]) & /@ {FresnelC, CosIntegral};
Protect[FresnelC, CosIntegral];


Now use TeXForm as usual:


y[t] /. First@DSolve[y'[t] + y[t] Sqrt[t] Sin[t] == 0, y[t], t] // TeXForm
(* c_1 e^{\sqrt{t} \cos (t)-\sqrt{\frac{\pi }{2}} \operatorname{FresnelC}\left(\sqrt{\frac{2}{\pi }} \sqrt{t}\right)} *)


$c_1 e^{\sqrt{t} \cos (t)-\sqrt{\frac{\pi }{2}} \operatorname{FresnelC}\left(\sqrt{\frac{2}{\pi }} \sqrt{t}\right)}$



CosIntegral[x] // TeXForm
(* \operatorname{CosIntegral}(x) *)



$\operatorname{CosIntegral}(x)$

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.
