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[ ...

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...

plotting - How to draw some 2D curves in a 3D plot?

I want to plot several 2D curves ( Sin[x] at y=0 , Cos[x] at y=1 ) in a 3D plot, what function should i use? f[x_, y_] := Piecewise[{{0, y 0}, {Sin[x], y == 0}}] g[x_, y_] := Piecewise[{{0, y 1}, {Cos[x], y == 1}}] Plot3D[{f[x, y], g[x, y]}, {x, 0, 10}, {y, 0, 10}] doesn't work. Any ideas? Answer ParametricPlot3D[{{Sin[u], 0, u}, {Cos[u], 1, u}}, {u, 0, 20}, BoxRatios -> 1, PlotRange -> {{-2, 2}, {-.5, 2}, {0, 20}}] === update - general thoughts === I've seen the comments to this question and a few other approaches to the waterfall (or wire) plot are given in this question: Plotting several functions . Also I cannot not mention one of my favorite Mathematica blogs - Archery with this post on the story of discovery of 1st pulsar and an its infamous graphics - code is given in the post:
