class sage.plot.complex_plot.ComplexPlot(rgb_data, x_range, y_range, options)[source]

Bases: GraphicPrimitive

The GraphicsPrimitive to display complex functions in using the domain coloring method

INPUT:

  • rgb_data – an array of colored points to be plotted

  • x_range – a minimum and maximum x value for the plot

  • y_range – a minimum and maximum y value for the plot

get_minmax_data()[source]

Return a dictionary with the bounding box data.

EXAMPLES:

sage: p = complex_plot(lambda z: z, (-1, 2), (-3, 4))
sage: sorted(p.get_minmax_data().items())
[('xmax', 2.0), ('xmin', -1.0), ('ymax', 4.0), ('ymin', -3.0)]
sage: p = complex_plot(lambda z: z, (1, 2), (3, 4))
sage: sorted(p.get_minmax_data().items())
[('xmax', 2.0), ('xmin', 1.0), ('ymax', 4.0), ('ymin', 3.0)]

>>> from sage.all import *

sage.plot.complex_plot.add_contours_to_rgb(rgb, delta, dark_rate=0.5)[source]

Return an rgb array from given array of \((r, g, b)\) and \((delta)\).

Each input \((r, g, b)\) is modified by delta to be lighter or darker depending on the size of delta. Negative delta values darken the color, while positive delta values lighten the pixel.

We assume that the delta values come from a function like sage.plot.complex_plot.mag_to_lightness(), which maps magnitudes to the range \([-1, +1]\).

INPUT:

  • rgb – a grid of length 3 tuples \((r, g, b)\), as an \(N \times M \times 3\) numpy array

  • delta – a grid of values as an \(N \times M\) numpy array; these represent how much to change the lightness of each \((r, g, b)\). Values should be in \([-1, 1]\).

  • dark_rate – a positive number (default: 0.5); affects how strongly visible the contours appear

OUTPUT:

An \(N \times M \times 3\) floating point Numpy array X, where X[i,j] is an (r, g, b) tuple.

ALGORITHM:

Each pixel and lightness-delta is mapped from \((r, g, b, delta) \mapsto (h, l, s, delta)\) using the standard RGB-to-HLS formula.

Then the lightness is adjusted via \(l \mapsto l' = l + 0.5 \cdot delta\).

Finally map \((h, l', s) \mapsto (r, g, b)\) using the standard HLS-to-RGB formula.

sage.plot.complex_plot.add_lightness_smoothing_to_rgb(rgb, delta)[source]

Return an rgb array from given array of colors and lightness adjustments.

This smoothly adds lightness from black (when delta is \(-1\)) to white (when delta is \(1\)).

Each input \((r, g, b)\) is modified by delta to be lighter or darker depending on the size of delta. When delta is \(-1\), the output is black. When delta is \(+1\), the output is white. Colors piecewise-linearly vary from black to the initial \((r, g, b)\) to white.

We assume that the delta values come from a function like sage.plot.complex_plot.mag_to_lightness(), which maps magnitudes to the range \([-1, +1]\).

INPUT:

  • rgb – a grid of length 3 tuples \((r, g, b)\), as an \(N \times M \times 3\) numpy array

  • delta – a grid of values as an \(N \times M\) numpy array; these represent how much to change the lightness of each \((r, g, b)\). Values should be in \([-1, 1]\).

OUTPUT:

An \(N \times M \times 3\) floating point Numpy array X, where X[i,j] is an (r, g, b) tuple.

sage.plot.complex_plot.complex_plot(f, x_range, y_range, contoured=False, tiled=False, cmap=None, contour_type='logarithmic', contour_base=None, dark_rate=0.5, nphases=10, plot_points=100, interpolation='catrom', **options)[source]

complex_plot takes a complex function of one variable, \(f(z)\) and plots output of the function over the specified x_range and y_range as demonstrated below. The magnitude of the output is indicated by the brightness and the argument is represented by the hue.

By default, zero magnitude corresponds to black output, infinite magnitude corresponds to white output. The options contoured, tiled, and cmap affect the output.

complex_plot(f, (xmin, xmax), (ymin, ymax), contoured, tiled, cmap, ...)

INPUT:

  • f – a function of a single complex value \(x + iy\)

  • (xmin, xmax) – 2-tuple, the range of x values

  • (ymin, ymax) – 2-tuple, the range of y values

  • cmap – None, or the string name of a matplotlib colormap, or an instance of a matplotlib Colormap, or the special string 'matplotlib' (default: None); if None, then hues are chosen from a standard color wheel, cycling from red to yellow to blue. If matplotlib, then hues are chosen from a preset matplotlib colormap.

The following named parameter inputs can be used to add contours and adjust their distribution:

  • contoured – boolean (default: False); causes the magnitude to be indicated by logarithmically spaced ‘contours’. The magnitude along one contour is either twice or half the magnitude along adjacent contours.

  • dark_rate – a positive number (default: 0.5); affects how quickly magnitudes affect how light/dark the image is. When there are contours, this affects how visible each contour is. Large values (near 1.0) have very strong, immediate effects, while small values (near 0.0) have gradual effects.

  • tiled – boolean (default: False); causes the magnitude to be indicated by logarithmically spaced ‘contours’ as in contoured, and in addition for there to be \(10\) evenly spaced phase contours.

  • nphases – positive integer (default: 10); when tiled=True, this is the number of divisions the phase is divided into

  • contour_type – either 'logarithmic', or 'linear' (default: 'logarithmic'); causes added contours to be of given type when contoured=True.

  • contour_base – positive integer; when contour_type is 'logarithmic', this sets logarithmic contours at multiples of contour_base apart. When contour_type is 'linear', this sets contours at distances of contour_base apart. If None, then a default is chosen depending on contour_type.

The following inputs may also be passed in as named parameters:

  • plot_points – integer (default: 100); number of points to plot in each direction of the grid

  • interpolation – string (default: 'catrom'); the interpolation method to use: 'bilinear', 'bicubic', 'spline16', 'spline36', 'quadric', 'gaussian', 'sinc', 'bessel', 'mitchell', 'lanczos', 'catrom', 'hermite', 'hanning', 'hamming', 'kaiser'

Any additional parameters will be passed to show(), as long as they’re valid.

Note

Matplotlib colormaps can be chosen or customized to cater to different types of vision. The colormaps ‘cividis’ and ‘viridis’ in matplotlib are designed to be perceptually uniform to a broader audience. The colormap ‘turbo’ is similar to the default but with more even contrast. See [NAR2018] for more information about colormap choice for scientific visualization.

A function with some nice zeros and a pole:

sage: f(z) = z^5 + z - 1 + 1/z                                                  # needs sage.symbolic

>>> from sage.all import *
>>> __tmp__=var("z"); f = symbolic_expression(z**Integer(5) + z - Integer(1) + Integer(1)/z                                                  ).function(z)# needs sage.symbolic

Graphics object consisting of 1 graphics primitive

f(z) = z^5 + z - 1 + 1/z                                                  # needs sage.symbolic

../../_images/complex_plot-6.svg

The same function as above, but with contours. Contours render poorly with few plot points, so we use 300 here:

sage: f(z) = z^5 + z - 1 + 1/z                                                  # needs sage.symbolic
sage: complex_plot(f, (-3, 3), (-3, 3), plot_points=300, contoured=True)        # needs sage.symbolic

>>> from sage.all import *
>>> __tmp__=var("z"); f = symbolic_expression(z**Integer(5) + z - Integer(1) + Integer(1)/z                                                  ).function(z)# needs sage.symbolic
>>> complex_plot(f, (-Integer(3), Integer(3)), (-Integer(3), Integer(3)), plot_points=Integer(300), contoured=True)        # needs sage.symbolic

f(z) = z^5 + z - 1 + 1/z                                                  # needs sage.symbolic
complex_plot(f, (-3, 3), (-3, 3), plot_points=300, contoured=True)        # needs sage.symbolic
../../_images/complex_plot-7.svg

The same function as above, but tiled and with the plasma colormap:

sage: f(z) = z^5 + z - 1 + 1/z                                                  # needs sage.symbolic

>>> from sage.all import *

>>> complex_plot(f, (-Integer(3), Integer(3)), (-Integer(3), Integer(3)),                                         # needs sage.symbolic

f(z) = z^5 + z - 1 + 1/z                                                  # needs sage.symbolic
complex_plot(f, (-3, 3), (-3, 3),                                         # needs sage.symbolic
             plot_points=300, tiled=True, cmap='plasma')
../../_images/complex_plot-8.svg

When using tiled=True, the number of phase subdivisions can be controlled by adjusting nphases. We make the same plot with fewer tilings:

sage: f(z) = z^5 + z - 1 + 1/z                                                  # needs sage.symbolic

>>> __tmp__=var("z"); f = symbolic_expression(z**Integer(5) + z - Integer(1) + Integer(1)/z                                                  ).function(z)# needs sage.symbolic
>>> complex_plot(f, (-Integer(3), Integer(3)), (-Integer(3), Integer(3)), plot_points=Integer(300),                        # needs sage.symbolic
...              tiled=True, nphases=Integer(5), cmap='plasma')

f(z) = z^5 + z - 1 + 1/z                                                  # needs sage.symbolic
complex_plot(f, (-3, 3), (-3, 3), plot_points=300,                        # needs sage.symbolic
             tiled=True, nphases=5, cmap='plasma')
../../_images/complex_plot-9.svg

It is also possible to use linear contours. We plot the same function above on an inset, setting contours to appear \(1\) apart:

sage: f(z) = z^5 + z - 1 + 1/z                                                  # needs sage.symbolic
sage: complex_plot(f, (0, 1), (0, 1), plot_points=300,                          # needs sage.symbolic
....:              contoured=True, contour_type='linear', contour_base=1)

Note that tightly spaced contours can lead to Moiré patterns and aliasing problems. For example:

sage: f(z) = z^5 + z - 1 + 1/z                                                  # needs sage.symbolic

When choosing colormaps, cyclic colormaps such as twilight or hsv might be considered more appropriate for showing changes in phase without sharp color contrasts:

sage: f(z) = z^5 + z - 1 + 1/z                                                  # needs sage.symbolic
sage: complex_plot(f, (-3, 3), (-3, 3), plot_points=300, cmap='twilight')       # needs sage.symbolic

>>> from sage.all import *
>>> __tmp__=var("z"); f = symbolic_expression(z**Integer(5) + z - Integer(1) + Integer(1)/z                                                  ).function(z)# needs sage.symbolic
>>> complex_plot(f, (-Integer(3), Integer(3)), (-Integer(3), Integer(3)), plot_points=Integer(300), cmap='twilight')       # needs sage.symbolic
Graphics object consisting of 1 graphics primitive

f(z) = z^5 + z - 1 + 1/z                                                  # needs sage.symbolic
complex_plot(f, (-3, 3), (-3, 3), plot_points=300, cmap='twilight')       # needs sage.symbolic
../../_images/complex_plot-12.svg

Passing matplotlib as the colormap gives a special colormap that is similar to the default:

sage: f(z) = z^5 + z - 1 + 1/z                                                  # needs sage.symbolic

....:              plot_points=300, contoured=True, cmap='matplotlib')
Graphics object consisting of 1 graphics primitive

>>> complex_plot(f, (-Integer(3), Integer(3)), (-Integer(3), Integer(3)),                                         # needs sage.symbolic

f(z) = z^5 + z - 1 + 1/z                                                  # needs sage.symbolic

             plot_points=300, contoured=True, cmap='matplotlib')
../../_images/complex_plot-13.svg

Here is the identity, useful for seeing what values map to what colors:

sage: complex_plot(lambda z: z, (-3, 3), (-3, 3))                               # needs sage.symbolic
Graphics object consisting of 1 graphics primitive

>>> from sage.all import *
>>> complex_plot(lambda z: z, (-Integer(3), Integer(3)), (-Integer(3), Integer(3)))                               # needs sage.symbolic
Graphics object consisting of 1 graphics primitive

complex_plot(lambda z: z, (-3, 3), (-3, 3))                               # needs sage.symbolic
../../_images/complex_plot-14.svg

The Riemann Zeta function:

sage: complex_plot(zeta, (-30,30), (-30,30))                                    # needs sage.symbolic
Graphics object consisting of 1 graphics primitive

>>> from sage.all import *
>>> complex_plot(zeta, (-Integer(30),Integer(30)), (-Integer(30),Integer(30)))                                    # needs sage.symbolic
Graphics object consisting of 1 graphics primitive

complex_plot(zeta, (-30,30), (-30,30))                                    # needs sage.symbolic
../../_images/complex_plot-15.svg

For advanced usage, it is possible to tweak many parameters. Increasing dark_rate will make regions become darker/lighter faster when there are no contours:

sage: complex_plot(zeta, (-30, 30), (-30, 30), dark_rate=1.0)                   # needs sage.symbolic
Graphics object consisting of 1 graphics primitive

>>> from sage.all import *
>>> complex_plot(zeta, (-Integer(30), Integer(30)), (-Integer(30), Integer(30)), dark_rate=RealNumber('1.0'))                   # needs sage.symbolic
Graphics object consisting of 1 graphics primitive

complex_plot(zeta, (-30, 30), (-30, 30), dark_rate=1.0)                   # needs sage.symbolic
../../_images/complex_plot-16.svg

Decreasing dark_rate has the opposite effect. When there are contours, adjust dark_rate affects how visible contours are. Compare:

sage: complex_plot(zeta, (-1, 9), (10, 20), plot_points=200,    # long time, needs sage.symbolic
....:              contoured=True, cmap='twilight', dark_rate=0.2)
Graphics object consisting of 1 graphics primitive

>>> from sage.all import *
>>> complex_plot(zeta, (-Integer(1), Integer(9)), (Integer(10), Integer(20)), plot_points=Integer(200),    # long time, needs sage.symbolic
...              contoured=True, cmap='twilight', dark_rate=RealNumber('0.2'))
Graphics object consisting of 1 graphics primitive

complex_plot(zeta, (-1, 9), (10, 20), plot_points=200,    # long time, needs sage.symbolic
             contoured=True, cmap='twilight', dark_rate=0.2)
../../_images/complex_plot-17.svg

and:

sage: complex_plot(zeta, (-1, 9), (10, 20), plot_points=200,    # long time, needs sage.symbolic
....:              contoured=True, cmap='twilight', dark_rate=0.75)
Graphics object consisting of 1 graphics primitive

>>> from sage.all import *
>>> complex_plot(zeta, (-Integer(1), Integer(9)), (Integer(10), Integer(20)), plot_points=Integer(200),    # long time, needs sage.symbolic
...              contoured=True, cmap='twilight', dark_rate=RealNumber('0.75'))
Graphics object consisting of 1 graphics primitive

complex_plot(zeta, (-1, 9), (10, 20), plot_points=200,    # long time, needs sage.symbolic
             contoured=True, cmap='twilight', dark_rate=0.75)
../../_images/complex_plot-18.svg

In practice, different values of dark_rate will work well with different colormaps.

Extra options will get passed on to show(), as long as they are valid:

sage: complex_plot(lambda z: z, (-3, 3), (-3, 3), figsize=[1,1])                # needs sage.symbolic

REFERENCES:

Plotting complex functions with colormaps follows the strategy from [LD2021] and incorporates contour techniques described in [WegSem2010].

sage.plot.complex_plot.complex_to_cmap_rgb(z_values, cmap='turbo', contoured=False, tiled=False, contour_type='logarithmic', contour_base=None, dark_rate=0.5, nphases=10)[source]

Convert a grid of complex numbers to a grid of rgb values using colors taken from given colormap.

INPUT:

  • z_values – a grid of complex numbers, as a list of lists

  • cmap – the string name of a matplotlib colormap, or an instance of a matplotlib Colormap (default: 'turbo')

  • contoured – boolean (default: False); causes magnitude to be indicated through contour-like adjustments to lightness

  • tiled – boolean (default: False); causes magnitude and argument to be indicated through contour-like adjustments to lightness

  • nphases – positive integer (default: 10); when tiled=True, this is the number of divisions the phase is divided into

  • contour_type – either 'logarithmic', or 'linear' (default: 'logarithmic'); causes added contours to be of given type when contoured=True.

  • contour_base – positive integer; when contour_type is 'logarithmic', this sets logarithmic contours at multiples of contour_base apart. When contour_type is 'linear', this sets contours at distances of contour_base apart. If None, then a default is chosen depending on contour_type.

  • dark_rate – a positive number (default: 0.5); affects how quickly magnitudes affect how light/dark the image is. When there are contours, this affects how visible each contour is. Large values (near 1.0) have very strong, immediate effects, while small values (near 0.0) have gradual effects.

OUTPUT:

An \(N \times M \times 3\) floating point Numpy array X, where X[i,j] is an (r, g, b) tuple.

We see that changing dark_rate affects how visible contours are. In this example, we set contour_base=5 and note that the points \(0\) and \(1 + i\) are far away from contours, but \(2.9 + 4i\) is near (and just below) a contour. Raising dark_rate should have strong effects on the last coloration and weaker effects on the others:

Convert a grid of complex numbers to a grid of rgb values using a default choice of colors.

INPUT:

  • z_values – a grid of complex numbers, as a list of lists

  • contoured – boolean (default: False); causes magnitude to be indicated through contour-like adjustments to lightness

  • tiled – boolean (default: False); causes magnitude and argument to be indicated through contour-like adjustments to lightness

  • nphases – positive integer (default: 10); when tiled=True, this is the number of divisions the phase is divided into

  • contour_type – either 'logarithmic', or 'linear' (default: 'logarithmic'); causes added contours to be of given type when contoured=True.

  • contour_base – positive integer; when contour_type is 'logarithmic', this sets logarithmic contours at multiples of contour_base apart. When contour_type is 'linear', this sets contours at distances of contour_base apart. If None, then a default is chosen depending on contour_type.

  • dark_rate – a positive number (default: 0.5); affects how quickly magnitudes affect how light/dark the image is. When there are contours, this affects how visible each contour is. Large values (near \(1.0\)) have very strong, immediate effects, while small values (near \(0.0\)) have gradual effects.

sage.plot.complex_plot.hls_to_rgb(hls)[source]

Convert array of hls values (each in the range \([0, 1]\)) to a numpy array of rgb values (each in the range \([0, 1]\))

INPUT:

  • hls – an \(N \times 3\) array of floats in the range \([0, 1]\); the hls values at each point. (Note that the input can actually be of any dimension, such as \(N \times M \times 3\), as long as the last dimension has length \(3\)).

OUTPUT:

An \(N \times 3\) Numpy array of floats in the range \([0, 1]\), with the same dimensions as the input array.
