image3d - Plotting 3D points with an intensity


I have a list of elements where the first 3 numbers in each curly bracket are x,y,z coordinates and the last number is an intensity:


data = {{2, 2, 2, 30}, {0, 0, 0, 10}, {1, 0, 0, 10}, {2, 0, 0, 
10}, {3, 0, 0, 10}, {4, 0, 0, 10}, {0, 0, 4, 10}, {1, 0, 4,
10}, {2, 0, 4, 10}, {3, 0, 4, 10}, {4, 0, 4, 10}, {0, 4, 0,
10}, {1, 4, 0, 10}, {2, 4, 0, 10}, {3, 4, 0, 10}, {4, 4, 0,

10}, {0, 4, 4, 10}, {1, 4, 4, 10}, {2, 4, 4, 10}, {3, 4, 4,
10}, {4, 4, 4, 10}, {0, 1, 0, 10}, {0, 2, 0, 10}, {0, 3, 0,
10}, {0, 1, 4, 10}, {0, 2, 4, 10}, {0, 3, 4, 10}, {0, 0, 1,
10}, {0, 0, 2, 10}, {0, 0, 3, 10}, {0, 4, 1, 10}, {0, 4, 2,
10}, {0, 4, 3, 10}, {4, 1, 0, 10}, {4, 2, 0, 10}, {4, 3, 0,
10}, {4, 1, 4, 10}, {4, 2, 4, 10}, {4, 3, 4, 10}, {4, 0, 1,
10}, {4, 0, 2, 10}, {4, 0, 3, 10}, {4, 4, 1, 10}, {4, 4, 2,
10}, {4, 4, 3, 10}, {1, 1, 1, 20}, {2, 1, 1, 20}, {3, 1, 1,
20}, {1, 1, 3, 20}, {2, 1, 3, 20}, {3, 1, 3, 20}, {1, 3, 1,
20}, {2, 3, 1, 20}, {3, 3, 1, 20}, {1, 3, 3, 20}, {2, 3, 3,

20}, {3, 3, 3, 20}, {1, 2, 3, 20}, {3, 2, 3, 20}, {1, 2, 1,
20}, {3, 2, 1, 20}}

The data represents points comprised within a cube, where the point with the max intensity is in the middle and the intensity then decreases as the points are further away from the middle. The points in space look as shown:


pts = data[[1 ;;, {1, 2, 3}]];
ListPointPlot3D[pts, PlotStyle -> PointSize -> Medium]

enter image description here


I am trying to find the best way to visualise such data. So far I tried the following:


ListPlot3D[data, PlotRange -> All, Mesh -> None, 

PlotLegends -> Automatic, ColorFunction -> "Rainbow",
PlotLabel -> Style["Intensity", FontSize -> 14]]

enter image description here


 ListContourPlot3D[data, PlotRange -> All, PlotLegends -> Automatic, 
Contours -> 1, MaxPlotPoints -> 100, ColorFunction -> "Rainbow",
PlotLabel -> Style["Intensity", FontSize -> 14]]

enter image description here


Can anyone suggest a way of visualising such data showing the variation of intensity throughout the cube? Perhaps like a transparent thermal plot or a surface connecting all the points of common intensities together...



I am using Mathematica 10.0.1.0

Example:


ListDensityPlot3D @ data

Note: In the above data is the data you've posted in your original post.

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-...

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[ ...
