bugs - Sometimes Region can't build right region


During my work with NDSolveFEM I found strange behavior of function Region.


a = 600;

reg1 = Rectangle[{0, 0}, {6 a, a}];
hole1 = Disk[{3 a, 0.75 a}, a/8];
hole2 = Disk[{3 a, 0.25 a}, a/8];
hole3 = Disk[{2.5 a, 0.5 a}, a/8];
resreg = RegionDifference[reg1, RegionUnion[hole1, hole2, hole3]]

So, it is really simple region with 3 holes near the centre of rectangle 6a * a.


resreg is:


BooleanRegion[#1 && ! (#2 || #3 || #4) &, {Rectangle[{0, 0}, 
{3600, 600}], Disk[{1800, 450.}, 75], Disk[{1800, 150.}, 75], Disk[{1500., 300.}, 75]}]


If I try to plot it by Region on my first computer, I will receive the simple Quad region 1 * 1: enter image description here


So, this region is unmeshable and I can't understand the reason of this behavior.


If I try it on my notebook. I will receive the right plot and meshable region. enter image description here


Mesh of region: enter image description here


Both computers have Windows 10 with Mathematica v 11.3. How I can make Region plot right image?



Answer



This is a bug and you should report it to support@wolfram.com. Here is why - simply because DiscretizeRegion has the same problem and does not give a message about it:


a = 600;
reg1 = Rectangle[{0, 0}, {6 a, a}];

hole1 = Disk[{3 a, 0.75 a}, a/8];
hole2 = Disk[{3 a, 0.25 a}, a/8];
hole3 = Disk[{2.5 a, 0.5 a}, a/8];
resreg = RegionDifference[reg1, RegionUnion[hole1, hole2, hole3]];

enter image description here


The finite element functions have the same problem, but they give a message about what is going on. Start with a fresh kernel:


Quit

And then:



a = 600;
reg1 = Rectangle[{0, 0}, {6 a, a}];
hole1 = Disk[{3 a, 0.75 a}, a/8];
hole2 = Disk[{3 a, 0.25 a}, a/8];
hole3 = Disk[{2.5 a, 0.5 a}, a/8];
resreg = RegionDifference[reg1, RegionUnion[hole1, hole2, hole3]];
NDSolve`FEM`ToElementMesh[resreg]

This gives a message:


enter image description here



So now we know that the RegionBounds computation either timed out or was not able to compute the bounds. However, when you call


RegionBounds[resreg]

You will get the bounds. Once the bounds are computed they are cached. That's why we needed the Quit above to make sure that we start from the same state.


As a workaround you can compute the RegionBounds before calling Region, or, if you happen to already have a FEM mesh just use:


 Region[MeshRegion[myFEMMesh]]

or


MeshRegion[myFEMMesh]

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[ ...
