graphics3d - How can I fill an entire Building with transparent points?



I am posting the same code found at an earlier question, although the concept here is totally different.


The following code corresponds to a building-shaped structure.



w = 100;
l = 200;
h = 30;
m = 70;
backwall = {{0, l, 0}, {w, l, 0}, {w, l, h}, {0, l, h}};
side1 = {{0, 0, 0}, {0, 0, h}, {0, l, h}, {0, l, 0}};
side2 = {{w, 0, 0}, {w, 0, h}, {w, l, h}, {w, l, 0}};
floor = {{0, 0, 0}, {w, 0, 0}, {w, l, 0}, {0, l, 0}};
top = {{0, 0, h}, {w, 0, h}, {w, l, h}, {0, l, h}};
front = {{0, 0, 0}, {w, 0, 0}, {w, 0, h}, {0, 0, h}};

leftRoof = {{0, 0, h}, {w/2, 0, m}, {w/2, l, m}, {0, l, h}};
rightRoof = {{w, 0, h}, {w/2, 0, m}, {w/2, l, m}, {w, l, h}};
roofBack = {{w, l, h}, {w/2, l, m}, {0, l, h}};
roofFront = {{w, 0, h}, {w/2, 0, m}, {0, 0, h}};
building = {backwall, side1, side2, floor, front, leftRoof, rightRoof,roofBack, roofFront};
figure =Graphics3D[{Opacity[0.5],Style[Polygon[building,VertexColors -> Map[0.5 + #[[3]]/80 &, building, {2}]],Lighting -> {{"Ambient", White}}]}, Boxed -> False,RotationAction -> "Clip"];
data = RandomReal[60, {100, 3}];
data1 = RandomReal[60, {100, 3}];
redPoints = Graphics3D[{Opacity[0.4], PointSize -> Large,Style[Point[#], Blue]} & /@ data, Boxed -> False,RotationAction -> "Clip"];
bluePoints =Graphics3D[{Opacity[0.4], PointSize -> Large,Style[Point[#], Red]} & /@ data1, Boxed -> False,RotationAction -> "Clip"];

Show[{figure, redPoints, bluePoints}]

and upon evaluation it produces:


house with transparent points


I have 10000 points that need placing, some with coordinates inside the building while the remaining are outside (like the ones circled above).


I have the following two questions:




  1. How can I omit the points that are not within the building?





  2. How do I fill the entire building with points?




Having tried a few things this morning, I still couldn't get it to work as I want so any help is appreciated.

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...

mathematical optimization - Minimizing using indices, error: Part::pkspec1: The expression cannot be used as a part specification

I want to use Minimize where the variables to minimize are indices pointing into an array. Here a MWE that hopefully shows what my problem is. vars = u@# & /@ Range[3]; cons = Flatten@ { Table[(u[j] != #) & /@ vars[[j + 1 ;; -1]], {j, 1, 3 - 1}], 1 vec1 = {1, 2, 3}; vec2 = {1, 2, 3}; Minimize[{Total@((vec1[[#]] - vec2[[u[#]]])^2 & /@ Range[1, 3]), cons}, vars, Integers] The error I get: Part::pkspec1: The expression u[1] cannot be used as a part specification. >> Answer Ok, it seems that one can get around Mathematica trying to evaluate vec2[[u[1]]] too early by using the function Indexed[vec2,u[1]] . The working MWE would then look like the following: vars = u@# & /@ Range[3]; cons = Flatten@{ Table[(u[j] != #) & /@ vars[[j + 1 ;; -1]], {j, 1, 3 - 1}], 1 vec1 = {1, 2, 3}; vec2 = {1, 2, 3}; NMinimize[ {Total@((vec1[[#]] - Indexed[vec2, u[#]])^2 & /@ R...

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}]
