1. Complex Magnitude Surface Plot

One popular way to plot complex functions is to use a surface plot of \(\vert f(z)\vert\) and color the surface with \(\arg(f(z))\). This way we can simultaneously represent the magnitude and phase over the complex plain. There are several ways to color the plots, and we will be following the method described by Richardson in 1991. In this example, we demonstrates several techniques:

Alternate ways to do an initial sample (grid vs recursive)
Sample near a point in the domain
Sample below a level in the range
Sample near level curves
Sample based on a data value that is not part of the geometry
Sample near domain axis
Use MRaster to compute colors for complex numbers
Directly attach colors to geometric points
Do rough clipping with high sampling and cell filtering.
Precision clipping by folding & culling.

2. Implicit Curve

For many of us our first exposure to an implicit curve was the unit circle in high school algebra, \(x^2+y^2=1\), where we were ask to graph \(y\) with respect to \(x\) only to discover that \(y\) didn't appear to be a function of \(x\) because \(y\) had TWO values for some values of \(x\)! But we soon discovered that a great many interesting curves could be defined this way, and that we could represent them all by thinking of the equations as a functions of two variables and the curves as sets of zeros. That is to say, we can always write an implicit equation in two variables in the form \(F(x,y)=0\), and think of the implicit curve as the set of roots, or zeros, of the function \(F\). We can then generalize this idea to "level sets" as solutions to \(F(x,y)=L\) – i.e. the set of points where the function is equal to some "level" \(L\).

Many visualization tools can extract a "level set" from a mesh. For 2D meshes (surfaces), the level sets are frequently 1D sets (curves). The trick to obtaining high quality results is to make sure the triangulation has a high enough resolution. Of course we could simply sample the 2D grid uniformly with a very fine mesh. A better way is to detect where the curve is, and to sample at higher resolution near the curve.

Currently we demonstrate a couple ways to refine the mesh near the curve:

Using cell_cross_range_level() to find cells that cross a particular level (zero in this case)
Using cell_cross_sdf() instead – which generally works just like cell_cross_range_level() with a level of zero.

Today we extract the curve with Paraview, but I hope to extend MR_rt_to_cc to extract level sets in the future:

Extract "standard" midpoint level sets (TBD)
Solve for accurate edge/function level intersections, and construct high quality level sets. (TBD)

3. Implicit Surface

This example is very similar to implicit_curve_2d.cpp; however, instead of extracting a curve from a triangulation of a surface, this time we extract a surface from a quad tessellation of a hexahedron. In addition to what we demonstrate with implicit_curve_2d.cpp, this example also demonstrates:

How to use an SDF to identify cells that contain the level set
How to export only a subset of cells

5. Surface Plot With Normals

Surface normals may be used by many visualization tools to render smoother results. In this example we demonstrate:

How to compute a surface gradient for a function plot
How to unitize the gradient into a surface normal
How to add the normal to the sample data stored by a MRPTree
How to include normals in the cell complex
How to increase sampling with a SDF function
How to increase sampling near humps by testing derivatives
How to balance a tree
How to dump a cell complex into various file types

Surfaces with and without normals

The mesh without any refinement

The mesh with refinement (sdf, partial derivative, directional derivative)

Mesh with directional directional refinement but unbalanced)

6. Surface Plot With An Edge

Surface plots are frequently complicated by regions upon which the function singular or undefined. These functions often behave quite poorly on the boundaries of such regions. For this example we consider \(f(x, y)=\sqrt{1-x^2-y^2}\) – the upper half of the unit sphere. Outside the unit circle this function is complex. As we approach the unit circle from the center, the derivative approaches infinity.

Right now this example illustrates two things:

How to drive up the sample rate near NaNs.
How to repair triangles containing NaNs.

7. Surface Plot With Annular Edge

In example surface_plot_edge.cpp we had a surface plot with a large, undefined region easily discovered by Maple & Nathematica. In this example we have a surface with a smaller, annular undefined region that is harder for automatic software to get right. The function in question is as follows:

\[ \sqrt{\sqrt{\vert 1 - x^2 - y^2\vert} - \frac{3}{20}} \]

This example differs from surface_plot_edge.cpp in that we direct additional sampling near the unit circle. Other than that, it's just about identical.

8. Surface Plot With An Corner

The function illustrated here is continuous on the entire plane, but has no derivative on the unit circle. While no derivative exists on the unit circle, directional derivatives pointing from the origin approach infinity as we get close to the unit circle. The derivative at the origin is zero. Thus the surface is not only zero on the unit circle, but it drops to zero very quickly from it's local extrema at the origin.

If we sample on a uniform grid, some of the resulting polygons will have vertexes both inside and outside the unit circle. These polygons will never touch the x-y plane, and thus the surface will not appear to have a uniform zero set on the unit circle. At low resolution the results are so bad they are difficult to interpret. At higher resolutions we see what appears to be a jagged edge over the unit circle. Meaning the results are visually quite wrong, but an astute viewer might well guess the true behavior of the function from the resulting image. In order to correct this graph we need sample points in the triangulation that are on, or very near, the unit circle. We can do that by folding and resampling the cell complex on the unit circle.

How to "fold" the resulting triangles to achieve higher accuracy on the non-differentiable edge.

9. Surface Plot With An Step

The function illustrated here is defined on the entire plan, but has a step discontinuity on the unit circle. Except on the unit circle, the function's derivative is zero. If we sample on a uniform grid, some of the resulting polygons will have vertexes both inside and outside the unit circle – they cross over the discontinuity! When drawn we get a continuous surface with a circular bump! It should look like the x-y plane has a circle cut out that is hovering one unit above the plane.

10. Surface Branches & Glue

In surface_plot_edge.cpp we encountered the unit sphere defined by the zeros of \(1^2=x^2+y^2+z^2\), and the related function \(f(x,y)=\sqrt{1-x^2-y^2}\) obtained by "solving" for \(z\). Note that if \(z=f(x, y)\), then both \(z\) and \(-z\) satisfy the original equation. While the square root function is positive by definition, we might wish to think of \(f(x, y)\) as a multi-valued function with two branches – a positive one and a negative one.

In simple cases like this, where the two branches are reflections across an axis plane, we can use MR_cell_cplx::mirror() to mirror the geometry and seal up any holes. This is really the only change from surface_plot_edge.cpp.

11. Curve Plot

Univariate function plots are the bread-and-butter of the plotting world. Normally a simple, uniformly spaced, sequence is enough to get the job done quite nicely. Still, a few things can come up:

Jump discontinuities & Vertical asymptotes: Resolved with higher sampling near the discontinuities and a cutting edge (TBD)
Isolated, non-differentiable points: Resolved with higher sampling near the points and a folding edge (TBD)
Undefined intervals: Resolved with higher sampling near the edges and NaN edge repair
Regions of high oscillation: Resolved with higher sampling on the regions
Extrema: Resolved with higher sampling near the extrema

Note that most of the items above are listed TBD. A few features need to be added to MR_rt_to_cc. ;) Note the TODO comments in the body of main().

12. Parametric Surface With Defects

This example illustrates some of the things that can go wrong when generating parametric surfaces. We dump two version of the tessellation – one with quads and one with triangles. This allows us to better illustrate how some defects show up.

Quads that are not plainer. Look closely at the rectangular tessellation, and note the "rectangles" appear to be broken in across the diagonal – at least that's how they appear in most tools including Paraview & meshlab.
At the poles, the rectangular cells of the tree map to three distinct points instead of four. This means for the rectangular tessellation, the rectangles at the poles are degenerate! Then converting from tree to cell complex, these quads are removed because they are degenerate. This is not an issue for the triangular tessellation (FANS).
The v=0 edge meets up with the v=1 edge. Because we have chk_point_unique set to true for the cell complex object, the duplicate points are "welded" together when the points are added. This results in a seamless edge.

13. High Resolution Parametric Surface

Just a nice parametric surface without any weirdness. Some things demonstrated:

How to time various operations.
- Try with a large mesh (use a 9 in refine_grid).
- Try reducing the number of data variables stored in the cell complex
- Try removing the normal vector from the output
- Try both MRccT5 & MRccF5 for cc_t
How to include a synthetic value that can be used for color mapping – c(u,v) can be used to render stripes on the surface.
How to compute a normal to a parametric surface
How to include a normal in the cell complex

Surfaces with and without normals

Stripes!!
