graphics - How to make a tight crop of a 3d plot?


I like Mathematica, but it's syntax baffles me.


I am trying to figure out how to minimize the whitespace around a graphic.


For example,



ParametricPlot3D[{r Cos[t], r Sin[t], r^2}, {r, 0, 1}, {t, 0, 2 \[Pi]}, 
Boxed -> True, Axes -> False]

3d bounding box on


Puts the 3d bounding box at the limits of the view. But if I don't show the 3d bounding box,


3d bounding box on


ParametricPlot3D[{r Cos[t], r Sin[t], r^2}, {r, 0, 1}, {t, 0, 2 \[Pi]}, 
Boxed -> False, Axes -> False]

3d bounding box off



there is all this white space around the actual object.


Is there some way (syntax) that can put the view just around the visible objects?



Ok, from the below answers, I have two solutions; 1) use ImageCrop, or 2) use Method->{"ShrinkWrap" -> True}. However both of these options do a little something strange to the plot I want (maybe it is just a problem with the plot itself).


So the actual plot I am after is,


Module[{r = 1, \[Theta] = \[Pi]/2, \[CurlyPhi] = \[Pi]/6, \[Psi] = \[Pi]/12},
Framed@Show[
Graphics3D[
{
{Arrowheads[.025],

Arrow[{{0, 0, 0}, {1.1, 0, 0}}], Text["x", {1.2, 0, 0}],
Arrow[{{0, 0, 0}, {0, 1.1, 0}}], Text["y", {0, 1.2, 0}],
Arrow[{{0, 0, 0}, {0, 0, 1.1}}], Text["z", {0, 0, 1.2}],
Arrow[{{0, 0, 0}, r {Cos[\[Theta]] Sin[\[CurlyPhi]],
Sin[\[Theta]] Sin[\[CurlyPhi]], Cos[\[CurlyPhi]]}}]},
{Specularity[White, 50], Opacity[.1], Sphere[{0, 0, 0}, r]}
},
Boxed -> False,
ImageSize -> 600,
PlotRange -> 1.1 {{-r, r}, {-r, r}, {0, r}}

]]
]

enter image description here


Which has too much whitespace. If I replace Framed@Show[ with Framed@ImageCrop@Show[ I get, enter image description here


which actually crops some of the (hemi)sphere. If just use Method -> {"ShrinkWrap" -> True}, in the Show options, I get,


Mathematica graphics


which looks almost correct, but the x and z textboxes have now not included. Seems like I can't win!



Answer



Actually, there isn't white space at all:



Show[RegionPlot3D[True, {x, -1, 1}, {y, -1, 1}, {z, 0, 1}, 
PlotStyle -> Directive[Yellow, Opacity[0.5]], Mesh -> None,
Boxed -> False, Axes -> False, PlotRangePadding -> 0],
ParametricPlot3D[{r Cos[t], r Sin[t], r^2}, {r, 0, 1}, {t, 0, 2 Pi} ]]

Mathematica graphics


Edit


If you want to crop the image in 2D:


p = ParametricPlot3D[{r Cos[t], r Sin[t], r^2}, {r, 0, 1}, {t, 0, 2 Pi}, 
Boxed -> False, Axes -> False, PlotRangePadding -> 0];

Framed@ImageCrop@p

Edit


For your plot. Use .2 as Opacity. It has been reported elsewhere in this site that lowering the opacity too much makes other functions unable to detect the object.


Module[{r = 
1, \[Theta] = \[Pi]/2, \[CurlyPhi] = \[Pi]/6, \[Psi] = \[Pi]/12},
Framed@ImageCrop@Show[
Graphics3D[
{{Specularity[White, 50], Opacity[.2],

Sphere[{0, 0, 0}, r]}, {Arrowheads[.025],
Arrow[{{0, 0, 0}, {1.1, 0, 0}}], Text["x", {1.2, 0, 0}],
Arrow[{{0, 0, 0}, {0, 1.1, 0}}], Text["y", {0, 1.2, 0}],
Arrow[{{0, 0, 0}, {0, 0, 1.1}}], Text["z", {0, 0, 1.2}],
Arrow[{{0, 0, 0},
r {Cos[\[Theta]] Sin[\[CurlyPhi]],
Sin[\[Theta]] Sin[\[CurlyPhi]], Cos[\[CurlyPhi]]}}]}},
Boxed -> False, ImageSize -> 600,
PlotRange -> 1.1 {{-r, r}, {-r, r}, {0, r}}]]]

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...

Is there a way to do conditional matrix loop using 'continue'

I have the following: n = 3; m = 5; ww = RandomReal[{0, 0.1}, {n, n}]; uu = RandomReal[{0, 1}, {m, n}]; pp = RandomReal[{0, 1}, {n, n}]; ss = RandomInteger[{0, 5}, {m, n}]; Grid[{{"ww", "uu", "pp", "ss"}, {ww // TableForm, uu // TableForm, pp // TableForm, ss // TableForm}}, Spacings -> {5, 2}, Dividers -> All] where I would like to look at every element of matrix ss and produce a matrix tt , with zeroes at the locations in ss which have zeroes, and in all other positions do the following: tt = (-1/Subscript[ww, m]) Log[(1 - uu)/(Subscript[pp, m - 1])], where Subscript[ww, m] is the value at index of ww matrix and where Subscript[pp, m - 1] is the value at index-1 of pp matrix. So for example if the first value ever read from matrix ss happens to be 2, then value taken from matrix ww would be from the row 2, but from pp would be from row 1. Also how to tell difference between a 0 as a valid value from within the matrix elemen...
