plotting - How to plot a rotated ellipse using `ParametricPlot`?



I'm plotting the von Mises yield surface using CountourPlot and ParametricPlot.


With ContourPlot I get this nice rotated ellipse:


ContourPlot[Sqrt[sig1^2 + sig2^2 - sig1 sig2] - 200 == 0, {sig1, -300, 300}, {sig2, -300, 300}]

enter image description here


Now i need to find the parametric equations to plot a rotated ellipse similar to the ellipse above, but this time using the function ParametricPlot.


I can plot an ellipse with parametric, but it's not rotated:


ParametricPlot[{200 Cos[theta], 100 Sin[theta]}, {theta, 0 , 2 Pi}]

EDIT:



If the real von Mises yield surface is ploted (using ContourPlot) and compared with the plot obtaned from ParametricPlot:


contourplot = 
ContourPlot[
Sqrt[sig1^2 + sig2^2 - sig1 sig2] - 200 == 0, {sig1, -300,
300}, {sig2, -300, 300}];
gamma = Pi/4;
a = 300;
b = a/2;
pmplot = ParametricPlot[{(a Cos[theta] Cos[gamma] -
b Sin[theta] Sin[gamma]),

a Cos[theta] Sin[gamma] + b Sin[theta] Cos[gamma]}, {theta, 0 ,
2 Pi}, PlotStyle -> {Thick, Red, Dashed}];
Show[contourplot, pmplot]

enter image description here


we can see that the plots are not the same.


How can i find the values of a and b that make the ellipses the same?



Answer



You can use a RotationTransform to find the equation of our rotated function


RotationTransform[α][{a Cos[θ], b Sin[θ]}]



  {a Cos[α] Cos[θ] - b Sin[α] Sin[θ], a Cos[θ] Sin[α] + b Cos[α] Sin[θ]}

Now you can plot it as any other equation.


Manipulate[
ParametricPlot[
RotationTransform[α][
{
200 Cos[theta],

100 Sin[theta]
}
]
, {theta, 0, 2 Pi}
, PlotRange -> {{-300, 300}, {-300, 300}}
]
, {α, -π, π}
]

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-...

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...
