table - issue with Animate


I want to make a animation based on the dataset like


data = Flatten[Table[{x, y, x^2 - y^2}, {x, -3, 3}, {y, -3, 3}], 1];

I show this data using a ListPlot3D.



p2[θ_] := RotationTransform[θ, {0, 0, 1}]

When I use Table to generate the different images, it works fine.


test11 = Table[
  ListPlot3D[p2[a][data] /. {x_, y_, z_} -> {x, y, z*a}, Mesh -> 5, 
   MeshStyle -> White, Axes -> {False, False, True}, 
   PlotRange -> {{-4, 4}, {-4, 4}, {-10, 10}}], {a, -1, 1, 0.1}]

Export["anigraf2.GIF", test11, "DisplayDurations" -> 1]


When I use 'Animate' to create the same output, Mathematica stops responding en I have to restart the software.


Animate[ListPlot3D[p2[a][data] /. {x_, y_, z_} -> {x, y, z*a}, 
  Mesh -> 5, MeshStyle -> White, Axes -> False, 
  PlotRange -> {{-4, 4}, {-4, 4}, {-10, 10}}], {a, -1, 1, 0.1}, 
 AnimationDirection -> ForwardBackward, AnimationRunning -> True, 
 SaveDefinitions -> True]

Is there somebody who has suggestion for this issue?



Answer



For anything but the simplest of graphics objects, always avoid Animate and use ListAnimate instead.



The difference is that ListAnimate works on a pre-defined list of images to create an animation. All the rendering is done beforehand. With Animate, it attempts to do the rendering on the fly, when you are moving the slider.


So this will make the animation you are looking for,


data = Flatten[Table[{x, y, x^2 - y^2}, {x, -3, 3}, {y, -3, 3}], 1];
p2[θ_] := RotationTransform[θ, {0, 0, 1}];
imglist = Table[
   ListPlot3D[p2[a][data] /. {x_, y_, z_} -> {x, y, z*a}, Mesh -> 5, 
    MeshStyle -> White, Axes -> {False, False, True}, 
    PlotRange -> {{-4, 4}, {-4, 4}, {-10, 10}}]
   , {a, -1, 1, 0.1}];
ListAnimate[

 imglist,
 AnimationDirection -> ForwardBackward, AnimationRunning -> True, 
 SaveDefinitions -> True]

Another option is to use Manipulate instead of Animate. Manipulate will render the 3D graphics using fewer points when you are moving the slider, giving you the changes quickly when it can at the expense of quality, and then generating the higher quality images when the slider stops moving. (Correct me if I am wrong here) I do not think that Animate does this.


So this runs relatively quickly on my machine,


Manipulate[
 ListPlot3D[p2[a][data] /. {x_, y_, z_} -> {x, y, z*a}, Mesh -> 5, 
  MeshStyle -> White, Axes -> {False, False, True}, 
  PlotRange -> {{-4, 4}, {-4, 4}, {-10, 10}}]

 , {a, -1, 1, 0.05}]

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-...

dynamic - How can I make a clickable ArrayPlot that returns input?

I would like to create a dynamic ArrayPlot so that the rectangles, when clicked, provide the input. Can I use ArrayPlot for this? Or is there something else I should have to use? Answer ArrayPlot is much more than just a simple array like Grid : it represents a ranged 2D dataset, and its visualization can be finetuned by options like DataReversed and DataRange . These features make it quite complicated to reproduce the same layout and order with Grid . Here I offer AnnotatedArrayPlot which comes in handy when your dataset is more than just a flat 2D array. The dynamic interface allows highlighting individual cells and possibly interacting with them. AnnotatedArrayPlot works the same way as ArrayPlot and accepts the same options plus Enabled , HighlightCoordinates , HighlightStyle and HighlightElementFunction . data = {{Missing["HasSomeMoreData"], GrayLevel[ 1], {RGBColor[0, 1, 1], RGBColor[0, 0, 1], GrayLevel[1]}, RGBColor[0, 1, 0]}, {GrayLevel[0], GrayLevel...
