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?

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 - Magnifying Glass on a Plot

Although there is a trick in TEX magnifying glass but I want to know is there any function to magnifying glass on a plot with Mathematica ? For example for a function as Sin[x] and at x=Pi/6 Below, this is just a picture desired from the cited site. the image got huge unfortunately I don't know how can I change the size of an image here! Answer Insetting a magnified part of the original Plot A) by adding a new Plot of the specified range xPos = Pi/6; range = 0.2; f = Sin; xyMinMax = {{xPos - range, xPos + range}, {f[xPos] - range*GoldenRatio^-1, f[xPos] + range*GoldenRatio^-1}}; Plot[f[x], {x, 0, 5}, Epilog -> {Transparent, EdgeForm[Thick], Rectangle[Sequence @@ Transpose[xyMinMax]], Inset[Plot[f[x], {x, xPos - range, xPos + range}, Frame -> True, Axes -> False, PlotRange -> xyMinMax, ImageSize -> 270], {4., 0.5}]}, ImageSize -> 700] B) by adding a new Plot within a Circle mf = RegionMember[Disk[{xPos, f[xPos]}, {range, range/GoldenRatio}]] Show...
