plotting - StreamPlot symmetry


I have a given (quite difficult) electrical field and i want to make a Streamplot.



This are my Functions:


Ey1 := -σ (Log[
a - x + Sqrt[(-a + x)^2 + (a - y)^2 + (z - d)^2]] +
Log[-a + x +
Sqrt[(-a + x)^2 + (a + y)^2 + (z - d)^2]]) + σ (Log[-a -
x + Sqrt[(a + x)^2 + (a - y)^2 + (z - d)^2]] +
Log[a + x + Sqrt[(a + x)^2 + (a + y)^2 + (z - d)^2]])

Ey2 := σ (Log[
a - x + Sqrt[(-a + x)^2 + (a - y)^2 + (z + d)^2]] +

Log[-a + x +
Sqrt[(-a + x)^2 + (a + y)^2 + (z + d)^2]]) - σ (Log[-a -
x + Sqrt[(a + x)^2 + (a - y)^2 + (z + d)^2]] +
Log[a + x + Sqrt[(a + x)^2 + (a + y)^2 + (z + d)^2]])

Ez1 := σ (ArcTan[((a - x) (-a + y))/((z -
d) Sqrt[(a - x)^2 + (-a + y)^2 + (z - d)^2])] +
ArcTan[((a + x) (-a + y))/((z -
d) Sqrt[(a + x)^2 + (-a + y)^2 + (z -
d)^2])]) - σ (ArcTan[((a - x) (a + y))/((z -

d) Sqrt[(a - x)^2 + (a + y)^2 + (z - d)^2])] +
ArcTan[((a + x) (a + y))/((z -
d) Sqrt[(a + x)^2 + (a + y)^2 + (z - d)^2])])

Ez2 := -σ (ArcTan[((a - x) (-a + y))/((z +
d) Sqrt[(a - x)^2 + (-a + y)^2 + (z + d)^2])] +
ArcTan[((a + x) (-a + y))/((z +
d) Sqrt[(a + x)^2 + (-a + y)^2 + (z +
d)^2])]) + σ (ArcTan[((a - x) (a + y))/((z +
d) Sqrt[(a - x)^2 + (a + y)^2 + (z + d)^2])] +

ArcTan[((a + x) (a + y))/((z +
d) Sqrt[(a + x)^2 + (a + y)^2 + (z + d)^2])])

This is my first Plot:


sp3 = Join[Table[{-2.1, y}, {y, -9, 9, 1}], 
Table[{2.1, y}, {y, -9, 9, 1}], Table[{1.34, y}, {y, -9, 9, 1}]];

Show[StreamPlot[{Ez1 + Ez2, Ey1 + Ey2} /. {a -> 10,
x -> 0, \[Sigma] -> 1, d -> 2}, {z, -15, 15}, {y, -15, 15},
StreamScale -> Full, StreamStyle -> {Gray, Arrowheads[0.02]},

StreamPoints -> sp3],
Graphics[{Black, Thick, Line[{{-2, -10}, {-2, 10}}], Black, Thick,
Line[{{2, -10}, {2, 10}}]}]]

enter image description here


This is my second Plot:


   sp1 = Join[Table[{-2.1, y}, {y, -9, 9, 1}],Table[{2.1, y}, {y, -9, 9, 1}]];
sp2 = Table[{-1.9, y}, {y, -9, 9, 1}];

Show[StreamPlot[{Ez1 + Ez2, Ey1 + Ey2} /. {a -> 10,

x -> 0, \[Sigma] -> 1, d -> 2}, {z, -15, 15}, {y, -15, 15},
StreamScale -> Full, StreamStyle -> {Gray, Arrowheads[0.02]},
StreamPoints -> sp1],
Graphics[{Black, Thick, Line[{{-2, -10}, {-2, 10}}], Black, Thick,
Line[{{2, -10}, {2, 10}}]}],
StreamPlot[{Ez1 + Ez2, Ey1 + Ey2} /. {a -> 10, x -> 0, \[Sigma] -> 1,
d -> 2}, {z, -2, 2}, {y, -10, 10}, StreamScale -> None,
StreamStyle -> {Gray, Arrowheads[0.02]}, StreamPoints -> sp2]]

As you can see, on the second plot, i have two Streamplots, one for the outside of the plate and one for the inside.


The reason for this is, as you can see in the first Streamplot on the highlighted spots, where i used only one one Streamplot, it seems that close to the plate on the inside, ther are no lines anymore.


On the Second Plot i can place the manual StreamPoints on the inside very close to the Plate (-1.9), so it looks totally symmetric.


On the first Plot i cant place the manual StreamPlots not closer than 1.34, otherwise all lines on the inside vanishs.


Basicly Teh electrical field functions are in both cases the same, its just a second StreamPlot on in use. But with this second StreamPlot i get a total different behavior in the inside of the plates.


Does somebody know why, and is it possilbe to plot it like the second plot, but with only one Streamplot ?

To give an example of what I meant in my comment.


params = {a -> 10, x -> 0, σ -> 1, d -> 2};


ode = {z'[t], y'[t]} == ({Ez1 + Ez2, Ey1 + Ey2} /. {v : y | z :> v[t]} /.
params);
ics = Show[sp, Graphics[{Red, PointSize@Large,
Point@Fold[Drop, sp3, {{38}, {20}}]}]];
psol = ParametricNDSolveValue[{ode, {z[0], y[0]} == {a, b},
WhenEvent[Abs[z[t]] > 15 || Abs[y[t]] > 15, "StopIntegration"],
WhenEvent[Abs[Abs@z[t] - 2] < 0.01 && Abs[y[t]] < 10, "StopIntegration"]},
{z, y}, {t, -100, 100}, {a, b},
Method -> {"ExplicitRungeKutta", "StiffnessTest" -> True},

MaxSteps -> 10000, MaxStepSize -> 0.1];

sols = psol @@@ sp3; // AbsoluteTiming
(* {0.402537, Null} *)

Graphics[{
Gray, Arrowheads[0.02],
Arrow[
Transpose@Through[#["ValuesOnGrid"]] & /@ sols[[1 ;; -1]]
],

{Black, Thick, Line[{{-2, -10}, {-2, 10}}], Black, Thick,
Line[{{2, -10}, {2, 10}}]}
},
PlotRange -> 15, Frame -> True, PlotRangePadding -> Scaled[.02]]

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...

list manipulation - Selecting multiple columns from a matrix?

Sample data: data = { {{2013, 1, 1}, 24.13, 167.67, 231.82}, {{2013, 1, 2}, 32.15, 170.92, 225.99}, {{2013, 1, 3}, 35.43, 172.68, 221.67}, {{2013, 1, 4}, 36.73, 173.05, 218.32}, {{2013, 1, 5}, 58.19, 165.96, 197.05}, {{2013, 1, 6}, 69.99, 163.50, 187.52}, {{2013, 1, 7}, 71.37, 154.21, 175.58}, {{2013, 1, 8}, 72.51, 149.66, 163.25}}; I want a DateListPlot with three graphs, so for a matrix formed by columns 1 and 2, one for columns 1 and 3, and 1 for columns 1 and 4. At the moment I'm using this code: data2 = Transpose[{data[[All, 1]], data[[All, 2]]}]; data3 = Transpose[{data[[All, 1]], data[[All, 3]]}]; data4 = Transpose[{data[[All, 1]], data[[All, 4]]}]; DateListPlot[{data2, data3, data4}, Joined -> True, Filling -> {3 -> {1}}] but I have a hunch that this can be done more efficiently. 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...
