bugs - MeshCoordinates from a RegionBoundary no longer in proper order in version 10.4


Bug introduced in V10.4 and persists through 10.4.1



Given that I have the following data set


mat = 
 {{{0.,-5.,0.},{-5.22027,0.,1.79454}},
 {{-0.858274,-4.93844,0.0924},{-5.41893,0.782172,1.77784}}, 
 {{-1.82027,-4.75528,-0.109357},{-5.60223,1.54509,1.95084}},
 {{-2.94275,-4.45503,-0.550252},{-5.77547,2.26995,2.3602}},
 {{-4.31974,-4.04509,-1.18618},{-5.94562,2.93893,3.03783}},

 {{-6.12372,-3.53553,-2.00001},{-6.12372,3.53553,3.99999}}};

domain = 
  {{{5.0165, 2 Pi}, {0, 0.756304}}, {{3.4076, 2 Pi}, {0, 2.31521}}, 
   {{3.7396, 2 Pi}, {0, 1.93244}}, {{3.85122, 2 Pi}, {0, 1.86739}},  
   {{3.91005, 2 Pi}, {0, 1.87528}}, {{3.94139, 2 Pi}, {0, 1.91028}}};

ellipsePoints[mat_, {x_, y_}] := 
  mat.{Sin[#], Cos[#], 1} & /@ Range[x, y, 0.02 Pi]
ellipsePoints[mat_, {{a_, b_}, {c_, d_}}] := 

  mat.{Sin[#], Cos[#], 1} & /@ 
   Join[Range[a, b, 0.02 Pi], Range[c, d, 0.02 Pi]]

pts = Flatten[MapThread[ellipsePoints, {mat, domain}], 1];

With help of RunnyKine's alphaShapes2DC[] function, I can find the approximate boundary


Show[Graphics[Point[pts]], RegionBoundary@alphaShapes2DC[pts, 5.5]]

enter image description here




However, when I get the coordinates of the boundary via MeshCoordinates[], which gives me a wrong order of point-set.


ListLinePlot@MeshCoordinates@RegionBoundary@alphaShapes2DC[pts, 5.5]

enter image description here


So my question is:(I using the Mathematica V$10.4$ on Windows $32$ bit system)



  • How to do to achieve the right order of point-set?



Answer



Let's look at a simpler example to show the problem. We'll create a Delaunay mesh from some random points, and generate a RegionBoundary from that.



In version 10.4:


SeedRandom[4];
mr1 = DelaunayMesh[RandomReal[1, {15, 2}]];
mr2 = RegionBoundary[mr1];
Show[mr1, HighlightMesh[mr2, 1], 
 ListLinePlot[MeshCoordinates@mr2, 
  PlotStyle -> Directive[Thick, Red]]]

10.4 output


compared with version 10.3.1 (or any previous version 10.x)



output from earlier versions


Let's look at the InputForm for this in 10.4,


mr2 // InputForm


MeshRegion[{.....}, {Line[{{2, 6}, {1, 2}, {4, 1}, {3, 5}, {6, 3}, {5, 4}}]}]

versus for 10.3,


MeshRegion[{.....}, {Line[{{1, 2}, {2, 3}, {3, 4}, {4, 5}, {5, 6}, {6,1}}]}]


How to get around this? Create a BoundaryMeshRegion and extract the polygon points from that (the points of a polygon must be in the right order or it's nonsense). The following gives identical results in 10.3 and 10.4


SeedRandom[4];
mr1 = DelaunayMesh[RandomReal[1, {15, 2}]];
mr2 = BoundaryDiscretizeRegion[mr1];
Show[mr1, HighlightMesh[mr2, 1], 
 ListLinePlot[First@First@MeshPrimitives[mr2, 2], 
  PlotStyle -> Directive[Thick, Red]]]

fixed version


And, applied to the OP,



ListLinePlot@First@First@MeshPrimitives[#, 2] &@
 BoundaryDiscretizeRegion@alphaShapes2DC[pts, 5.5]

the alpha shape

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[ ...

equation solving - Invert and fit implicitly defined curve

I need to fit an implicitly defined curve. I thought I could get some data out of Solve , and then using FindFit . Therefore, I would like to find the relation the parametric curve defined by $F(x,y)=0$: Solve[-(1/2) + 1/2 (0.41202 BesselK[0, 0.1 Sqrt[x^2 + y^2]] + (0.101483 x BesselK[1, 0.1 Sqrt[x^2 + y^2]])/Sqrt[x^2 + y^2]) == 0, y] But I can't get an output: Solve was unable to solve the system with inexact coefficients or the system obtained by direct rationalization of inexact numbers present in the system. Since many of the methods used by Solve require exact input, providing Solve with an exact version of the system may help. >> Edit: In particular, I would like to fit the data coming from the curve with the expression of another curve, and not with a function $f(x)$. In particular, since this clearly looks like a cardioid , I would like it to fit to something like it. What other strategies could I try?

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...
