nschloe/cplot: :rainbow: Plot complex functions

Plot complex-valued functions with style.

cplot helps plotting complex-valued functions in a visually appealing manner.

Install with

and use as

import numpy as np

import cplot


def f(z):
    return np.sin(z**3) / z


plt = cplot.plot(
    f,
    (-2.0, +2.0, 400),
    (-2.0, +2.0, 400),
    # abs_scaling=lambda x: x / (x + 1),  # how to scale the lightness in domain coloring
    # contours_abs=2.0,
    # contours_arg=(-np.pi / 2, 0, np.pi / 2, np.pi),
    # emphasize_abs_contour_1: bool = True,
    # add_colorbars: bool = True,
    # add_axes_labels: bool = True,
    # saturation_adjustment: float = 1.28,
    # min_contour_length = None,
    # linewidth = None,
)
plt.show()

Historically, plotting of complex functions was in one of three ways

Combining all three of them gives you a cplot:

See also Wikipedia: Domain coloring.

Features of this software:

cplot uses OKLAB, a perceptually uniform color space for the argument colors. This avoids streaks of colors occurring with other color spaces, e.g., HSL.
The contour abs(z) == 1 is emphasized, other abs contours are at 2, 4, 8, etc. and 1/2, 1/4, 1/8, etc., respectively. This makes it easy to tell the absolte value precisely.
For arg(z) == 0, the color is green, for arg(z) == pi/2 it's blue, for arg(z) = -pi / 2 it's orange, and for arg(z) = pi it's pink.

Other useful functions:

# There is a tripcolor function as well for triangulated 2D domains
cplot.tripcolor(triang, z)

# The function get_srgb1 returns the SRGB1 triple for every complex input value.
# (Accepts arrays, too.)
z = 2 + 5j
val = cplot.get_srgb1(z)

cplot can also plot functions on the Riemann sphere, a mapping of the complex plane to the unit ball.

import cplot
import numpy as np

cplot.riemann_sphere(np.log)

All plots are created with default settings.
