Student[MultivariateCalculus][CrossSection] - show the intersection between a plane and a surface
Calling Sequence
CrossSection(f(x,y), g(x,y,z)=K, x=a..b, y=c..d, opts)
CrossSection(f(x,y,z), g(x,y,z)=K, x=a..b, y=c..d, z=e..f, opts)
Parameters
f(x, y)
-
algebraic expression
f(x, y, z)
algebraic equation or expression
g(x, y, z)
linear algebraic expression
K
constant, list, or range of constants
x, y, z
name; specify the independent variables
a, b, c, d, e, f
real constants; range of the function
opts
(optional) equation(s) of the form option=value where option is one of functionoptions, intersectionoptions, output, planeoptions, planes or showfunction; specify output options
Description
The CrossSection command returns a plot or animation of the intersection between the surface f and the plane g. The intersection of multiple parallel planes can be shown by making the variable K a range or a list of real numbers. If a range is used, a sequence of planes is generated within the range. The number of planes is determined by the optional argument planes. If a list is used, the planes are displayed in the order specified.
Curves of the form are assumed to be .
To return level curves, specify a variable name for g(x,y,z), for example, z.
Planes that are not intersecting or tangent to the surface f are not displayed.
The CrossSectionTutor routine offers equivalent capabilities to CrossSection in a tutor interface. See the Student[MultivariateCalculus][CrossSectionTutor] help page.
The opts argument can contain any of the following equations that set output options.
functionoptions = list
Specifies the plot options for plotting the surface f. For more information on plotting options, see plot3d/options.
intersectionoptions = list
Specifies the plot options for plotting the curves formed by the intersections of the planes and the surface. For more information on plotting options, see plot3d/options.
output = plot or animation
This option controls the return value of the function.
* output = plot specifies that a plot displays, which shows the expression and all the planes. The default is output = plot.
* output = animation specifies that an animation displays, which shows the expression and the chosen planes in succession.
planeoptions = list
Specifies the plot options for plotting the plane(s) g. For more information on plotting options, see plot3d/options.
planes = posint
Specifies the number of planes if the variable K is a range. The default is .
showfunction = true or false
Determines whether the function f is plotted. The default is true.
caption = anything
A caption for the plot.
The default caption is constructed from the parameters and the command options. caption = "" disables the default caption. For more information about specifying a caption , see plot/typesetting.
For more information, see plot3d/options.
For information on how to change the default colors, see the Student[SetColors] help page.
Examples
Return z=constant level curves.
