Hi folk, I may be missing something here, but when I tried to plot 0 = x^2 + y^2 - z^2 I received an error:
*** begin Sage session *** sage: var("x,y,z"); sage: f = x^2 + y^2 - z^2 sage: plot3d(f == 0, (x,-4,4), (y,-4,4), (z,-4,4)); ERROR: An unexpected error occurred while tokenizing input The following traceback may be corrupted or invalid The error message is: ('EOF in multi-line statement', (4, 0)) --------------------------------------------------------------------------- TypeError Traceback (most recent call last) /home/mvngu/.sage/temp/sage.math.washington.edu/32198/_home_mvngu__sage_init_sage_0.py in <module>() /usr/local/sage/local/lib/python2.5/site-packages/sage/plot/plot3d/plot3d.pyc in plot3d(f, urange, vrange, adaptive, **kwds) 191 192 if adaptive: --> 193 P = plot3d_adaptive(f, urange, vrange, **kwds) 194 else: 195 P = parametric_plot3d.parametric_plot3d(w, urange, vrange, **kwds) /usr/local/sage/local/lib/python2.5/site-packages/sage/plot/plot3d/plot3d.pyc in plot3d_adaptive(f, x_range, y_range, color, grad_f, max_bend, max_depth, initial_depth, num_colors, **kwds) 284 plot = TrianglePlot(factory, g, (xmin, xmax), (ymin, ymax), g = grad_f, 285 min_depth=initial_depth, max_depth=max_depth, --> 286 max_bend=max_bend, num_colors = None) 287 288 P = IndexFaceSet(plot._objects) /usr/local/sage/local/lib/python2.5/site-packages/sage/plot/tri_plot.pyc in __init__(self, triangle_factory, f, (min_x, max_x), (min_y, max_y), g, min_depth, max_depth, num_colors, max_bend) 133 mid_x = (min_x + max_x)/2 134 mid_y = (min_y + max_y)/2 --> 135 sw_z = fcn(min_x,min_y) 136 nw_z = fcn(min_x,max_y) 137 se_z = fcn(max_x,min_y) /usr/local/sage/local/lib/python2.5/site-packages/sage/plot/tri_plot.pyc in fcn(x, y) 122 if g is None: 123 def fcn(x,y): --> 124 return [self._f(x,y)] 125 else: 126 def fcn(x,y): /usr/local/sage/local/lib/python2.5/site-packages/sage/plot/plot3d/plot3d.pyc in g(xx, yy) 247 y, ymin, ymax = y_range 248 def g(xx,yy): --> 249 return float(f.subs({x:xx, y:yy})) 250 251 else: TypeError: float() argument must be a string or a number *** end Sage session *** What I'm trying to do is generate various 3-D plots of some affine varieties. As a start, I have no idea how to plot the equation: x^2 + y^2 - z^2 = 0 But for the equation z^3 - zx^2 + y^2 = 0 I know that it describes three cones meeting at a common point. -- Regards Minh Van Nguyen --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ To post to this group, send email to sage-support@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe from this group, send email to sage-support-unsubscr...@googlegroups.com For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-support URLs: http://www.sagemath.org -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
