plotting - ParametricPlot3D: The Mesh shows some unexpected wires to the origin. How to remove them?


In the code below a hexagonal shape is defined and plotted. The ParametricPlot3D shows the hexagonal design almost as intended. However, the mesh makes some strange "wires" to x=y=0. This is unexpected as the function does not exist at these coordinates. Why am I seeing this strange behaviour at the center? How can the plot be improved?


I tried several things: 2nd plot: I also included these coordinates in the Exclusions in the second plot but this didn't help.


3th plot: When the mesh is not plotted the graph looks better, altough some polishing at the edges might improve the graph further.


4th plot. Other problems is encoutered in the 3Dplot.

     θN = Mod[θ, 3.1415/3., -3.1415/6.](*θ w.r.t North*);
     l  = Norm[{u, v}];
     vN = l*Cos[θN ];
     If[.3 < vN < .8, 2 - vN, Null] (*Make parabolic function(vN)*)

Answer



Your mapping is not continuous and the mesh just shows it.


fun1[u_, v_] := 2 - Norm[{u, v}]*Cos[Mod[ArcTan[v, u], Pi/3, -Pi/6]]
ParametricPlot3D[{u, v, fun1[u, v]}, {u, -1, 1}, {v, -1, 1}, 

                 RegionFunction -> (1.2 < fun1[#4, #5] < 1.7 &), PlotPoints -> 50]

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...

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-...
