I'm trying to create a ListDensityPlot of a limb-darkened star using the Table function. I have had success in that (I can create a reasonable star if I add more points) but I noticed that points outside of the surface of the star also contain nonzero values (look at the Matrixform[s]) that create problems with what I'm trying to do. Is there an If statement that can be used to set any points where sqrt(x^2+y^2)>rstar to zero? Any help would be greatly appreciated! Below is the code at present:
I get rounded edges also with RegionFunction:
RegionFunction
ListDensityPlot[S, ColorFunction -> "SolarColors", DataRange -> rstar {{-1, 1}, {-1, 1}}, RegionFunction -> Function[{x, y, z}, Norm[{x, y}] < .95 rstar]]
The points outside the radius are complex and are ignored by ListDensityPlot. From the documentation
ListDensityPlot
holes will be left in the plot whenever there are elements that are not real numbers
The jagged edges are caused by not having enough points. Try pts = 200.
pts = 200
You can replace the complex values with 0 like this, but that does not do what you want because the color function is applied to those values.
sReal = Replace[S, _Complex -> 0, 2]
This actually does exactly what I'm looking for! While the values are applied to the colorfunction, it's really the Table itself that will be more useful for future calculations I plan on doing (the listdensityplot was a cool bonus feature). Yes I didn't use as many points just so the run time isn't excessively long for anyone wanting to see what the matrix looked like (pts 200 definitely looks great though I may actually need more for what I'm going to use this for)! Thank you very much for the help!
