calculus and analysis - How to visualize Riemann surfaces?


In WolframAlpha we can easily visualize Riemann surfaces of arbitrary functions,

can we plot the Riemann surface of an arbitrary function using Mathematica and with a better color scheme like these plots so that I can see the connection of the branches?

Here are more Riemann surfaces by Matthias Nieser et. Automatic Generation of Riemann Surface Meshes

Answer



You can take Michael Trott's code and modify it a bit to easily plot these surfaces


Import["http://www.mathematicaguidebooks.org/V6/downloads/\
RiemannSurfacePlot3D.m"]
rsurf[func_] := 
  Grid[{{RiemannSurfacePlot3D[w == func, Re[w], {z, w}, 
      ImageSize -> 400, 
      Coloring -> Hue[Rescale[ArcTan[1.4 Im[w]], {-Pi/2, Pi/2}]], 
      PlotPoints -> {40, 40}, Boxed -> False], 
     RiemannSurfacePlot3D[w == func, Im[w], {z, w}, ImageSize -> 400, 

      Coloring -> Hue[Rescale[ArcTan[1.4 Re[w]], {-Pi/2, Pi/2}]], 
      PlotPoints -> {40, 40}, Boxed -> False]}}];

Here it is applied to the functions from the OP


rsurf /@ {Sqrt[z], Log[z], (z + 1)^(1/3) + (z - 1)^(1/2)}

It is a bit tricky to get a nice coordinate mesh in these plots since we aren't actually using a plotting program (like ParametricPlot3D or Plot3D) to make them. We are instead building up a list of Polygon objects and combining them into a GraphicsComplex. However, we can get a decent approximation of a coordinate mesh by changing the line EdgeForm[] to EdgeForm[Black]


Import["http://www.mathematicaguidebooks.org/V6/downloads/\
RiemannSurfacePlot3D.m"]

rsurf[func_] := 
  Grid[{{RiemannSurfacePlot3D[w == func, Re[w], {z, w}, 
      ImageSize -> 400, 
      Coloring -> Hue[Rescale[ArcTan[1.4 Im[w]], {-Pi/2, Pi/2}]], 
      PlotPoints -> {30, 20}, Boxed -> False], 
     RiemannSurfacePlot3D[w == func, Im[w], {z, w}, ImageSize -> 400, 
      Coloring -> Hue[Rescale[ArcTan[1.4 Re[w]], {-Pi/2, Pi/2}]], 
      PlotPoints -> {30, 20}, Boxed -> False]}}]/.(EdgeForm[]:>EdgeForm[Black]);

You can change the PlotPoints above to change the number of polygons drawn, and thus the quality of the 3D image and the density of mesh lines. The two numbers refer to the azimuthal and radial directions, respectively.



rsurf@Sqrt[1 - z^2]

plotting - Filling between two spheres in SphericalPlot3D

Manipulate[ SphericalPlot3D[{1, 2 - n}, {θ, 0, Pi}, {ϕ, 0, 1.5 Pi}, Mesh -> None, PlotPoints -> 15, PlotRange -> {-2.2, 2.2}], {n, 0, 1}] I cant' seem to be able to make a filling between two spheres. I've already tried the obvious Filling -> {1 -> {2}} but Mathematica doesn't seem to like that option. Is there any easy way around this or ... Answer There is no built-in filling in SphericalPlot3D . One option is to use ParametricPlot3D to draw the surfaces between the two shells: Manipulate[ Show[SphericalPlot3D[{1, 2 - n}, {θ, 0, Pi}, {ϕ, 0, 1.5 Pi}, PlotPoints -> 15, PlotRange -> {-2.2, 2.2}], ParametricPlot3D[{ r {Sin[t] Cos[1.5 Pi], Sin[t] Sin[1.5 Pi], Cos[t]}, r {Sin[t] Cos[0 Pi], Sin[t] Sin[0 Pi], Cos[t]}}, {r, 1, 2 - n}, {t, 0, Pi}, PlotStyle -> Yellow, Mesh -> {2, 15}]], {n, 0, 1}]

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}]

plotting - Mathematica: 3D plot based on combined 2D graphs

I have several sigmoidal fits to 3 different datasets, with mean fit predictions plus the 95% confidence limits (not symmetrical around the mean) and the actual data. I would now like to show these different 2D plots projected in 3D as in but then using proper perspective. In the link here they give some solutions to combine the plots using isometric perspective, but I would like to use proper 3 point perspective. Any thoughts? Also any way to show the mean points per time point for each series plus or minus the standard error on the mean would be cool too, either using points+vertical bars, or using spheres plus tubes. Below are some test data and the fit function I am using. Note that I am working on a logit(proportion) scale and that the final vertical scale is Log10(percentage). (* some test data *) data = Table[Null, {i, 4}]; data[[1]] = {{1, -5.8}, {2, -5.4}, {3, -0.8}, {4, -0.2}, {5, 4.6}, {1, -6.4}, {2, -5.6}, {3, -0.7}, {4, 0.04}, {5, 1.0}, {1, -6.8}, {2, -4.7}, {3, -1.
