functions - Strange behaviour of Internal`InheritedBlock

I was going to post an answer for fast way to replace all zeros in the matrix. I was even quite happy because timings were the same order of magnitude as others.

The idea was to overwrite Identity:

Internal`InheritedBlock[{Identity}, Unprotect[Identity]; Identity[0] = 1; 

   Map[Identity, {{2, 0}, {Pi, 9}}, {2}]]

{{2, 1}, {Pi, 9}}

But I've checked that for bigger matrices the result is not even close to the expected one:

Internal`InheritedBlock[{Identity}, Unprotect[Identity]; Identity[0] = 1; 

   m = RandomInteger[1, {100, 2}]; 
   Map[Identity, m, {2}] ~ Shallow ~ {5, 2}]

{{0, 1}, {1, 0}, <<98>>}

It seem it breaks at size of the array of about $90$ positions:

 test = Internal`InheritedBlock[{Identity}, Unprotect[Identity]; Identity[0] = 1;

         Apply[
          Boole[Map[Identity, RandomInteger[1, {##}], {2}] == ConstantArray[1, {##}]
               ]&,                     
          Array[List, {35, 35}],
          {2}]];

Show[MatrixPlot[test, DataReversed -> True, Mesh -> All],

     ContourPlot[x y == 90, {x, 1, 35}, {y, 1, 35}]
     , BaseStyle -> {Thickness@.01, 18}]

enter image description here

I hope I haven't missed anything obvious. Any ideas?

Answer

I think this is related to my own question Block attributes of Equal though the circumstance is different. As already stated in the comments:

I can only speculate, I guess that the compiler sees Identity and assumes it knows how that behaves, not looking for changed definition. – ssch Oct 24 '13 at 21:37

Map auto-compiles, basically applying Compile to your mapped function. Of course, Compile uses its own versions for compilable functions, so whatever top-level definitions you have made won't fire. – Leonid Shifrin Oct 24 '13 at 21:56

Whether it be by auto-compilation or by special optimization for Packed Arrays, one must accept that top-level definitions and attributes may not be used in some cases.

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 - Adding a thick curve to a regionplot

Suppose we have the following simple RegionPlot: f[x_] := 1 - x^2 g[x_] := 1 - 0.5 x^2 RegionPlot[{y < f[x], f[x] < y < g[x], y > g[x]}, {x, 0, 2}, {y, 0, 2}] Now I'm trying to change the curve defined by $y=g[x]$ into a thick black curve, while leaving all other boundaries in the plot unchanged. I've tried adding the region $y=g[x]$ and playing with the plotstyle, which didn't work, and I've tried BoundaryStyle, which changed all the boundaries in the plot. Now I'm kinda out of ideas... Any help would be appreciated! Answer With f[x_] := 1 - x^2 g[x_] := 1 - 0.5 x^2 You can use Epilog to add the thick line: RegionPlot[{y < f[x], f[x] < y < g[x], y > g[x]}, {x, 0, 2}, {y, 0, 2}, PlotPoints -> 50, Epilog -> (Plot[g[x], {x, 0, 2}, PlotStyle -> {Black, Thick}][[1]]), PlotStyle -> {Directive[Yellow, Opacity[0.4]], Directive[Pink, Opacity[0.4]],
