ListSliceDensityPlot3D
ListSliceDensityPlot3D[farr,surf]
generates a density plot of the three-dimensional farr of values sliced to the surface surf.
ListSliceDensityPlot3D[{{x1,y1,z1,f1},{x2,y2,z2,f2},…},surf]
generates a slice density plot for the values fi at points {xi,yi,zi}.
ListSliceDensityPlot3D[…,{surf1,surf2,…}]
generates slice density plots over several slices surf1, surf2, ….
Details and Options
- ListSliceDensityPlot3D evaluates the interpolated function and maps the value to a color.
- For regular data, the function has value farr[[i,j,k]] at .
- For irregular data, has value fi at .
- The plot visualizes the set where is a color function and the region reg is the Cartesian product for regular data and the convex hull of {{x1,y1,z1},…,{xn,yn,zn}} for irregular data.
- The following basic slice surfaces surfi can be given:
-
Automatic automatically determine slice surfaces "CenterPlanes" coordinate planes through the center "BackPlanes" coordinate planes at the back of the plot "XStackedPlanes" coordinate planes stacked along axis "YStackedPlanes" coordinate planes stacked along axis "ZStackedPlanes" coordinate planes stacked along axis "DiagonalStackedPlanes" planes stacked diagonally "CenterSphere" a sphere in the center "CenterCutSphere" a sphere with a cutout wedge "CenterCutBox" a box with a cutout octant - ListSliceDensityPlot3D[data] is equivalent to ListSliceDensityPlot3D[data,Automatic].
- The following parametrizations can be used for basic slice surfaces:
-
{"XStackedPlanes",n}, generate n equally spaced planes {"XStackedPlanes",{x1,x2,…}} generate planes for x=xi {"CenterCutSphere",ϕopen} cut angle ϕopen facing the view point {"CenterCutSphere",ϕopen,ϕcenter} cut angle ϕopen with center angle ϕcenter in -plane - "YStackedPlanes", "ZStackedPlanes" follow the specifications for "XStackedPlanes", with additional features shown in the scope examples.
- The following general slice surfaces surfi can be used:
-
surfaceregion a two-dimensional region in 3D, e.g. Hyperplane volumeregion a three-dimensional region in 3D where surfi is taken as the boundary surface, e.g. Cuboid - The following wrappers can be used for slice surfaces surfi:
-
Annotation[surf,label] provide an annotation Button[surf,action] define an action to execute when the surface is clicked EventHandler[surf,…] define a general event handler for the surface Hyperlink[surf,uri] make the surface act as a hyperlink PopupWindow[surf,cont] attach a popup window to the surface StatusArea[surf,label] display in status area when the surface is moused over Tooltip[surf,label] attach an arbitrary tooltip to the surface - ListSliceDensityPlot3D has the same options as Graphics3D, with the following additions and changes: [List of all options]
