Do you know my former blog? It contains four posts about the computation of the Kantorovich distance: Using Julia to compute the Kantorovich distance ... [Read more...]

In this previous post I was wrong when I said I didn’t have a tool to compute the intersection of the compound of five tetrahedra: This can be achieved with th... [Read more...]

The Shiny app below allows to attribute a label to the points of a ‘ggplot’ by double-clicking on the points. library(shiny) library(rhandsontable) library(htmlwidgets) library(colourpicker) library... [Read more...]

Last month, I posted an article showing a way to expand a polynomial in R when the coefficients of the polynomial contain some literal values, with the help of the caracas package. Today I wanted ... [Read more...]

In a previous post, I showed how to draw a 3D slice of a 4D hypersurface when a parameterization of this hypersurface is available. Here we deal with the case when an implicit equation of the hypersurface... [Read more...]

It is possible to search in a ‘DT’ table with a regular expression: datatable( data = dat, options = list( search = list(regex = TRUE) ) ) But it could be desirable to have the possibility t... [Read more...]

Below is a simple example of a ‘ggplot2’ graphic with tooltips in a Shiny application. The tooltips are constructed with the help of the qTip2 JavaScript library. library(shiny) library(ggpl... [Read more...]

The donut torus Given a number \(s \geqslant 1\), the following map: \[ (u, v) \mapsto (x, y, z) = \frac{\Bigl(s\cos\frac{u}{s}, s\sin\frac{u}{s}, \sin v\Bigr)}{\sqrt{s^2+1}-\cos v} \] is ... [Read more...]

Consider a complex number \(\gamma\) such that \(|\gamma| __ 1\) and the following matrix: \[ M = \begin{pmatrix} i & \gamma \\ \bar\gamma & -i \end{pmatrix}. \] ... [Read more...]

I’ve just submitted a new package to CRAN: jacobi. It allows to evaluate the Jacobi theta functions as well as some related functions. In particular, some Eisenstein series, that you will see below. ... [Read more...]

It is easy to have a scrollbar for the sidebar of a Shiny app: one just has to use the CSS height: 90vh; overflow-y: auto;: library(shiny) library(shinyWidgets) ui [Read more...]

Here is a way to get a high-quality PNG image with R: save it as SVG first, then convert the SVG file to a PNG file, with the rsvg package. Let’s see. I construct a hyperbolic Delaunay trian... [Read more...]

Remember my first post on the Hopf torus? I constructed it circle by circle. Below are some animations of this construction. I save the image each time a circle is added. The rgl package automatic... [Read more...]

Now the MeshesOperations package can construct the Minkowski sum of two polyhedra, thanks to the C++ library CGAL and the R package RcppCGAL. Let’s see an example: the Minkowski sum of Leonardo da... [Read more...]

I wanted to plot an algebraic isosurface with POV-Ray but the expression of the polynomial defining the isosurface was very long (the polynomial had degree 12). Moreover there was a square root in the coe... [Read more...]

I updated the gyro package (soon on CRAN). Here are the new features. Hyperbolic polyhedra in the Poincaré model The previous version of the package only dealt with hyperbolic ... [Read more...]

I published two posts here about my package RCGAL, the first one about surface reconstruction, and the second one about Boolean operations on 3D meshes. Now I decided to spli... [Read more...]

I really like the animated multibarchart of the JavaScript library NVD3. That?s why I did the ?Rnvd3? package. library(Rnvd3) dat [Read more...]

I refreshed my old package 'dir2json' (5 years old). It uses a Haskell DLL and can only work on Windows. You can install it from Github: remotes::install_github("stla/dir2json") ... [Read more...]

My package rAmCharts4 has a moderate success on Github (twenty stars). So I decided to present it here. [Read more...]
