plotting - 3D Contour Plot parts of sphere with gradient less than 0, equal to 0 and more than 0


I want to plot only parts of the sphere of radius 1 where the gradient $\frac{\partial z}{\partial x}$ is < 0, = 0 and > 0.


The full sphere is given by:


ContourPlot3D[x^2 + y^2 + z^2 == 1, {x, -1, 1}, {y, -1, 1}, {z, -1, 1}]

enter image description here


I know how to plot parts of the sphere where $x^2 + y^2 + z^2 < 0.5 $ or something, but I can't figure out how to apply the condition to the gradient.


UPDATE: The positive and negative gradients turn out fine, but when I try to plot gradient = 0 it turns out funny.


I tried to find $\frac{\partial z}{\partial x} = 0$ for the equation but it didn't work: $$x^2 + y^2 + z^2 == xy $$



eq1 = x^2  y + y^2 + z^2 x == x y
ContourPlot3D[Evaluate[eq1], {x, -2, 1}, {y, -2, 2}, {z, -2, 2}]

deriv = Derivative[1, 0][z][x, y] /.
First[ Solve[ D[eq1 /. z -> z[x, y], x],
Derivative[1, 0][z][x, y] ] ] /. z[x, y] -> z;

Positive1 =
ContourPlot3D[Evaluate[eq1], {x, -2, 2}, {y, -2, 2}, {z, -2, 2},
RegionFunction -> Function[{x, y, z}, deriv > 0], Mesh -> False,

ContourStyle -> Blue, MaxRecursion -> 5];
Negative1 =
ContourPlot3D[Evaluate[eq1], {x, -2, 2}, {y, -2, 2}, {z, -2, 2},
RegionFunction -> Function[{x, y, z}, deriv < 0], Mesh -> False,
ContourStyle -> Red, MaxRecursion -> 5];
zero1 = ContourPlot3D[
Evaluate[eq1], {x, -2, 2}, {y, -2, 2}, {z, -2, 2},
RegionFunction -> Function[{x, y, z}, deriv = 0], Mesh -> False,
ContourStyle -> Green, MaxRecursion -> 5];


Show[Positive1]
Show[Negative1]
show[zero1]

list manipulation - Selecting multiple columns from a matrix?

Sample data: data = { {{2013, 1, 1}, 24.13, 167.67, 231.82}, {{2013, 1, 2}, 32.15, 170.92, 225.99}, {{2013, 1, 3}, 35.43, 172.68, 221.67}, {{2013, 1, 4}, 36.73, 173.05, 218.32}, {{2013, 1, 5}, 58.19, 165.96, 197.05}, {{2013, 1, 6}, 69.99, 163.50, 187.52}, {{2013, 1, 7}, 71.37, 154.21, 175.58}, {{2013, 1, 8}, 72.51, 149.66, 163.25}}; I want a DateListPlot with three graphs, so for a matrix formed by columns 1 and 2, one for columns 1 and 3, and 1 for columns 1 and 4. At the moment I'm using this code: data2 = Transpose[{data[[All, 1]], data[[All, 2]]}]; data3 = Transpose[{data[[All, 1]], data[[All, 3]]}]; data4 = Transpose[{data[[All, 1]], data[[All, 4]]}]; DateListPlot[{data2, data3, data4}, Joined -> True, Filling -> {3 -> {1}}] but I have a hunch that this can be done more efficiently. I don't like the Transpose s in particular. Any ideas? edit (for extra credit) What if I need to multiply the second column by 2, which in my solution is simp...

plotting - How to draw lines between specified dots on ListPlot?

I would like to create a plot where I have unconnected dots and some connected. So far, I have figured out how to draw the dots. My code is the following: ListPlot[{{1, 1}, {2, 2}, {3, 3}, {4, 4}, {1, 4}, {2, 5}, {3, 6}, {4, 7}, {1, 7}, {2, 8}, {3, 9}, {4, 10}, {1, 10}, {2, 11}, {3, 12}, {4,13}, {2.5, 7}}, Ticks -> {{1, 2, 3, 4}, None}, AxesStyle -> Thin, TicksStyle -> Directive[Black, Bold, 12], Mesh -> Full] I have thought using ListLinePlot command, but I don't know how to specify to the command to draw only selected lines between the dots. Do have any suggestions/hints on how to do that? Thank you. Answer One possibility would be to use Epilog with Line : ListPlot[ {{1, 1}, {2, 2}, {3, 3}, {4, 4}, {1, 4}, {2, 5}, {3, 6}, {4, 7}, {1, 7}, {2, 8}, {3, 9}, {4, 10}, {1, 10}, {2, 11}, {3, 12}, {4, 13}, {2.5, 7}}, Ticks -> {{1, 2, 3, 4}, None}, AxesStyle -> Thin, TicksStyle -> Directive[Black, Bold, 12], Mesh -> Full, Epilog -> { Line[ ...

dynamic - How can I make a clickable ArrayPlot that returns input?

I would like to create a dynamic ArrayPlot so that the rectangles, when clicked, provide the input. Can I use ArrayPlot for this? Or is there something else I should have to use? Answer ArrayPlot is much more than just a simple array like Grid : it represents a ranged 2D dataset, and its visualization can be finetuned by options like DataReversed and DataRange . These features make it quite complicated to reproduce the same layout and order with Grid . Here I offer AnnotatedArrayPlot which comes in handy when your dataset is more than just a flat 2D array. The dynamic interface allows highlighting individual cells and possibly interacting with them. AnnotatedArrayPlot works the same way as ArrayPlot and accepts the same options plus Enabled , HighlightCoordinates , HighlightStyle and HighlightElementFunction . data = {{Missing["HasSomeMoreData"], GrayLevel[ 1], {RGBColor[0, 1, 1], RGBColor[0, 0, 1], GrayLevel[1]}, RGBColor[0, 1, 0]}, {GrayLevel[0], GrayLevel...
