graphics3d - How to make this 3D animation


How to make an animation of following gif by using Mathematica?


enter image description here



Answer



You can use the new RandomPoint- function to sample points from a sphere and use the second argument of Text to position some text in 3D. Text will automatically make the string face towards the viewer/camera for you.



pts = RandomPoint[Sphere[{0, 0, 0}], 100];
Text["test", #] & /@ pts // Graphics3D[#, SphericalRegion -> True, Boxed -> False] &

Another approach is instead of rotating the entire graphic (as done above) to rotate the points themselves via RotationTransform. This enables the use of coordinate dependent color and size. An appropriate transformation could be


r[angle_?NumericQ, pivot : {_, _}] := RotationTransform[angle Degree, pivot];

and can be used as follows to archive something closer to what you are looking for with color and size scaling done in respect to the y-coordinate


Graphics3D[(Style[Text["test", #], FontSize -> 14 - 5*(#[[2]] + 1), 

FontColor -> Blend[{Black, White}, #[[2]]]] & /@ 
r[0, {{0, 0.2, 1}, {1, 0, 0}}] /@ pts), BoxRatios -> {1, 1, 1}, 
Boxed -> True, Axes-> True, AxesLabel -> {"x", "y", "z"}]

This can be animated for instance like this


Animate[Graphics3D[(Style[Text["test", #], 
FontSize -> 14 - 5*(#[[2]] + 1), 
FontColor -> Blend[{Black, White}, #[[2]]]] & /@ 
r[angle, {{0, 0, 1}, {0.2, -1, 0}}] /@ pts), 

BoxRatios -> {1, 1, 1}, SphericalRegion -> True, Boxed -> False, 
ViewPoint -> Front], {angle, 0, 360}]

final result


To archive your desired look you might have to play around a bit with the color- and size scaling

functions - Get leading series expansion term?

Given a function f[x] , I would like to have a function leadingSeries that returns just the leading term in the series around x=0 . For example: leadingSeries[(1/x + 2)/(4 + 1/x^2 + x)] x and leadingSeries[(1/x + 2 + (1 - 1/x^3)/4)/(4 + x)] -(1/(16 x^3)) Is there such a function in Mathematica? Or maybe one can implement it efficiently? EDIT I finally went with the following implementation, based on Carl Woll 's answer: lds[ex_,x_]:=( (ex/.x->(x+O[x]^2))/.SeriesData[U_,Z_,L_List,Mi_,Ma_,De_]:>SeriesData[U,Z,{L[[1]]},Mi,Mi+1,De]//Quiet//Normal) The advantage is, that this one also properly works with functions whose leading term is a constant: lds[Exp[x],x] 1 Answer Update 1 Updated to eliminate SeriesData and to not return additional terms Perhaps you could use: leadingSeries[expr_, x_] := Normal[expr /. x->(x+O[x]^2) /. a_List :> Take[a, 1]] Then for your examples: leadingSeries[(1/x + 2)/(4 + 1/x^2 + x), x] leadingSeries[Exp[x], x] leadingSeries[(1/x + 2 + (1 - 1/x...

How to thread a list

I have data in format data = {{a1, a2}, {b1, b2}, {c1, c2}, {d1, d2}} Tableform: I want to thread it to : tdata = {{{a1, b1}, {a2, b2}}, {{a1, c1}, {a2, c2}}, {{a1, d1}, {a2, d2}}} Tableform: And I would like to do better then pseudofunction[n_] := Transpose[{data2[[1]], data2[[n]]}]; SetAttributes[pseudofunction, Listable]; Range[2, 4] // pseudofunction Here is my benchmark data, where data3 is normal sample of real data. data3 = Drop[ExcelWorkBook[[Column1 ;; Column4]], None, 1]; data2 = {a #, b #, c #, d #} & /@ Range[1, 10^5]; data = RandomReal[{0, 1}, {10^6, 4}]; Here is my benchmark code kptnw[list_] := Transpose[{Table[First@#, {Length@# - 1}], Rest@#}, {3, 1, 2}] &@list kptnw2[list_] := Transpose[{ConstantArray[First@#, Length@# - 1], Rest@#}, {3, 1, 2}] &@list OleksandrR[list_] := Flatten[Outer[List, List@First[list], Rest[list], 1], {{2}, {1, 4}}] paradox2[list_] := Partition[Riffle[list[[1]], #], 2] & /@ Drop[list, 1] RM[list_] := FoldList[Transpose[{First@li...

front end - keyboard shortcut to invoke Insert new matrix

I frequently need to type in some matrices, and the menu command Insert > Table/Matrix > New... allows matrices with lines drawn between columns and rows, which is very helpful. I would like to make a keyboard shortcut for it, but cannot find the relevant frontend token command (4209405) for it. Since the FullForm[] and InputForm[] of matrices with lines drawn between rows and columns is the same as those without lines, it's hard to do this via 3rd party system-wide text expanders (e.g. autohotkey or atext on mac). How does one assign a keyboard shortcut for the menu item Insert > Table/Matrix > New... , preferably using only mathematica? Thanks! Answer In the MenuSetup.tr (for linux located in the $InstallationDirectory/SystemFiles/FrontEnd/TextResources/X/ directory), I changed the line MenuItem["&New...", "CreateGridBoxDialog"] to read MenuItem["&New...", "CreateGridBoxDialog", MenuKey["m", Modifiers-...
