plotting - How to scale values for ColorFunction in SliceContourPlot3D?


Trying to help out in the question, Finite Elements 3D, I came across this behavior of SliceContourPlot3D:


op = -Laplacian[u[x, y, z], {x, y, z}] - 2;
uif = NDSolveValue[{op == 0, DirichletCondition[u[x, y, z] == 0, True},
u, {x, y, z} ∈ Ball[{0, 0, 0}]];

SliceContourPlot3D[
uif[x, y, z], "CenterPlanes", {x, y, z} ∈ MeshRegion@uif["ElementMesh"],
ColorFunction -> "Rainbow"]


Mathematica graphics


The range of colors does not go all the way down to violet/indigo. I expected the range of colors to be something like this:


With[{sel = Positive[uif["Grid"].{0.3, -0.4, -1}]},
With[{pts = Pick[uif["Grid"], sel]},
Graphics3D[
GraphicsComplex[
pts,
{Point[Range@Length@pts,
VertexColors -> (ColorData["Rainbow"] /@ Rescale[Pick[uif["ValuesOnGrid"], sel]])

]}
]]
]]

Mathematica graphics


Is this a bug in SliceContourPlot3D? (Perhaps it's due to extrapolation from sampling outside the domain?) Is there a way to get it to rescale the colors the way I expected?


I'm using V10.3.0, Mac OSX.



Answer



It seems SliceContourPlot3D makes an initial sample, that is not quite right - i.e. outside of the region. Using


op = -Laplacian[u[x, y, z], {x, y, z}] - 2;

uif = NDSolveValue[{op == 0,
DirichletCondition[u[x, y, z] == 0, True]},
u, {x, y, z} \[Element] Ball[{0, 0, 0}],
"ExtrapolationHandler" -> {(Indeterminate &),
"WarningMessage" -> False}];

SliceContourPlot3D[
uif[x, y, z], "CenterPlanes", {x, y, z} \[Element]
MeshRegion@uif["ElementMesh"], ColorFunction -> "Rainbow"]


enter image description here


On a related note, I am wondering if for FEM this ExtrapolationHandler should be the default - what do you think?

list manipulation - Selecting multiple columns from a matrix?

I don't like the Transpose s in particular. Any ideas? edit (for extra credit) What if I need to multiply the second column by 2, which in my solution is simp...

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[ ...

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...
