graphics - When to use GeometricTransformation or Rotate


OI think that I am committing a basic error that may want to close it, but I am not finding where I am wrong.


This is my code:


r1 = 15; r2 = 8; c = 50; γ = ArcSin[(r1 - r2)/c] // N;
l1 = (2 γ + π) r1

l2 = (π - 2 γ) r2
l3 = 2 c Cos[γ]
L = 2 c Cos[γ] + (2 γ + π) r1 + (π - 2 γ) r2

Here I am creating a graphic:


g=Graphics[{Circle[{0,0},r1,{π/2-γ,((3*π))/2+γ}],
Circle[{c,0},r2,{π/2-γ,-(π/2)+γ}],
Line[{{Cos[π/2-γ]*r1,Sin[π/2-γ]*r1},{Cos[π/2-γ]*r2+c,Sin[π/2-γ]*r2}}],
Line[{{Cos[((3*π))/2+γ]*r1,Sin[((3*π))/2+γ]*r1},{Cos[-(π/2)+γ]*r2+c,Sin[-(π/2)+γ]*r2}}],
PointSize[0.03],

Point[{0,0}],
Point[{c,0}],
PlotRange->{{-100,-100},{100,100}}}]

enter image description here


I want my animation turn in point {0,0}, but something is wrong.


What would it be?


img = Rotate[g, #, {0, 0}] & /@ Range[0, 2 Pi, Pi/6]

Export["Motion.gif", img]


Answer



There were some strange characters in your code (/2 as one Unicode code). Might have been caused by copying your code here. Anyway I corrected them here.


The solution to your problem is the use of GeometricTransformation, which you can apply on graphics elements, not a Graphics object as a whole. Therefore, I removed the Graphics part from g and applied GeometricTransformation to it. Rotate is used to rotate any Mathematica object (not only graphics) and is not suited for this task, as its operation is difficult to align with underlying graphics coordinates.


g = {Circle[{0, 0}, r1, {Pi/2 - γ, ((3*Pi))/2 + γ}],     
     Circle[{c, 0}, r2, {Pi/2 - γ, -(Pi/2) + γ}],     
     Line[{{Cos[Pi/2 - γ]*r1, 
      Sin[Pi/2 - γ]*r1}, {Cos[Pi/2 - γ]*r2 + c, 
      Sin[Pi/2 - γ]*r2}}],     Line[{{Cos[((3*Pi))/2 + γ]*r1, 
      Sin[((3*Pi))/2 + γ]*r1}, {Cos[-(Pi/2) + γ]*r2 + c,
       Sin[-(Pi/2) + γ]*r2}}], Dashed, PointSize[0.03],     

     Point[{0, 0}], Point[{c, 0}]};

Graphics[GeometricTransformation[g, RotationMatrix[#]] & /@ Range[0, 2 Pi,Pi/6]]

Mathematica graphics


Exporting to an animation:


Export["D:\\Users\\Sjoerd\\Desktop\\test.gif", 
 Graphics[GeometricTransformation[g, RotationMatrix[#]], 
    PlotRange -> {{-70, 70}, {-70, 70}}] & /@ Range[0, 2 Pi, Pi/20]]

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-...

How to thread a list

I have data in format data = {{a1, a2}, {b1, b2}, {c1, c2}, {d1, d2}} Tableform: I want to thread it to : tdata = {{{a1, b1}, {a2, b2}}, {{a1, c1}, {a2, c2}}, {{a1, d1}, {a2, d2}}} Tableform: And I would like to do better then pseudofunction[n_] := Transpose[{data2[[1]], data2[[n]]}]; SetAttributes[pseudofunction, Listable]; Range[2, 4] // pseudofunction Here is my benchmark data, where data3 is normal sample of real data. data3 = Drop[ExcelWorkBook[[Column1 ;; Column4]], None, 1]; data2 = {a #, b #, c #, d #} & /@ Range[1, 10^5]; data = RandomReal[{0, 1}, {10^6, 4}]; Here is my benchmark code kptnw[list_] := Transpose[{Table[First@#, {Length@# - 1}], Rest@#}, {3, 1, 2}] &@list kptnw2[list_] := Transpose[{ConstantArray[First@#, Length@# - 1], Rest@#}, {3, 1, 2}] &@list OleksandrR[list_] := Flatten[Outer[List, List@First[list], Rest[list], 1], {{2}, {1, 4}}] paradox2[list_] := Partition[Riffle[list[[1]], #], 2] & /@ Drop[list, 1] RM[list_] := FoldList[Transpose[{First@li...

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[ ...
