graphics - How to draw cylinders inside a cylinder


It can be considered as a sequel to 98724


I adopt the code of ybeltukov (thanks again) and I slightly modify it.


findPoints = 

  Compile[{{n, _Integer}, {low, _Real}, {high, _Real}, {minD, _Real}},
    Block[{data = RandomReal[{low, high}, {1, 2}], k = 1, rv, temp}, 
    While[k < n, rv = RandomReal[{low, high}, 2];
     temp = Transpose[Transpose[data] - rv];
     If[Min[Sqrt[(#.#)] & /@ temp] > minD, data = Join[data, {rv}];
      k++;];];
    data]];

npts = 150;
r = 0.03;

minD = 2.2 r;
low = 0;
high = 1;

SeedRandom[159]
pts = findPoints[npts, low, high, minD];
g2d = Graphics[{FaceForm@Lighter[Blue, 0.8], 
   EdgeForm@Directive[Thickness[0.004], Black], Disk[#, r] & /@ pts}, 
  PlotRange -> All, Background -> Lighter@Blue]

mask = BoundaryDiscretizeRegion[#, {{-1, 1}, {-1, 1}}, 
     MaxCellMeasure -> {1 -> .02}] &@
   BoundaryDiscretizeRegion[Disk[{0.5, 0.5}, {0.4, 0.5}]];
r2d = DiscretizeGraphics[g2d, MaxCellMeasure -> {1 -> .01}, 
   PlotRange -> All];
inside = RegionIntersection[r2d, mask]

edge = DiscretizeRegion@*Line@*Intersection @@

points = DiscretizeRegion@*Point@*Intersection @@ 
   Round[{MeshPrimitives[RegionDifference[r2d, mask], 0][[;; , 1]], 
     MeshPrimitives[RegionDifference[mask, r2d], 0][[;; , 1]]}, .0001];

regionProduct[reg_, join_: True, y1_: 0, y2_: 1] := 
  Module[{n = MeshCellCount[reg, 0]}, 

   MeshRegion[
    Join @@ (ArrayFlatten@{{#[[;; , ;; 1]], #2, #[[;; , 2 ;;]]}} &[

mask3d = regionProduct@mask;
inside3d = regionProduct[inside, False];
edge3d = regionProduct@edge;
points3d = regionProduct@points;

My question is how I can get rid of the disks appeared "cut" and as the result the cylinders appeared also "cut"

Answer



The required modification is not too hard to do:


SeedRandom[159];

pts = Select[findPoints[npts, low, high, minD], 
             EuclideanDistance[#, {1, 1} (low + high)/2] < (low + high)/2 - r &];
g2d = Graphics[{FaceForm @ Lighter[Blue, 0.8],
                EdgeForm @ Directive[Thickness[0.004], Black],
                Disk[#, r] & /@ pts, Circle[{1/2, 1/2}, 1/2]},
               PlotRange -> All, Background -> Lighter @ Blue]

everything within the circle



The case where the confining region is an ellipse is a bit more complicated, since the parallel curve of an ellipse is complicated in general. Nevertheless,



ep = With[{a = 2/5, b = 1/2}, BoundaryDiscretizeRegion @
          ParametricRegion[(low + high) {1, 1}/2 + c ({a Cos[t], b Sin[t]} +
                           r Normalize[Cross[D[{a Cos[t], b Sin[t]}, t]]]),
                           {{c, 0, 1}, {t, 0, 2 π}}]];

SeedRandom[159];
pts = Select[findPoints[npts, low, high, minD], RegionMember[ep, #] &];
g2d = Graphics[{FaceForm @ Lighter[Blue, 0.8], 
                EdgeForm @ Directive[Thickness[0.004], Black],
                Disk[#, r] & /@ pts, Circle[{1/2, 1/2}, {2/5, 1/2}]},

               PlotRange -> All, Background -> Lighter @ Blue]

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...

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...

What is and isn't a valid variable specification for Manipulate?

I have an expression whose terms have arguments (representing subscripts), like this: myExpr = A[0] + V[1,T] I would like to put it inside a Manipulate to see its value as I move around the parameters. (The goal is eventually to plot it wrt one of the variables inside.) However, Mathematica complains when I set V[1,T] as a manipulated variable: Manipulate[Evaluate[myExpr], {A[0], 0, 1}, {V[1, T], 0, 1}] (*Manipulate::vsform: Manipulate argument {V[1,T],0,1} does not have the correct form for a variable specification. >> *) As a workaround, if I get rid of the symbol T inside the argument, it works fine: Manipulate[ Evaluate[myExpr /. T -> 15], {A[0], 0, 1}, {V[1, 15], 0, 1}] Why this behavior? Can anyone point me to the documentation that says what counts as a valid variable? And is there a way to get Manpiulate to accept an expression with a symbolic argument as a variable? Investigations I've done so far: I tried using variableQ from this answer , but it says V[1...
