I need help using ContourPlot to make something like the picture below.
The Coordinates for the three circles is: (1500,1200), (1550,2000), (2000,1700)
Dear JAKOB
If I’m not making mistake, you mean “how to labale contours”
If I’m right, you can go to this page for more information about that :
Inadition, for labaling countours you can use this method :
ContourPlot[<function>,{<variable1>,<min>,<max>},{<variable2>,<min>,<max>},...,ContourLabels -> True]
for example:
ContourPlot[Sin[x] Sin[y], {x, -3, 3}, {y, -3, 3},
ContourLabels -> True]
Best regards
Vahid
Try something like
ContourPlot[1/((x - 1500)^2 + (y - 1200)^2) + 1/((x - 1550)^2 + (y - 2000)^2) +
1/((x - 2000)^2 + (y - 1700)^2), {x, 0, 3000}, {y, 0, 3000}]
the peak is not so sharp in the given picture, so it looks rather like
ContourPlot[Log[1/((x - 1500)^2 + (y - 1200)^2)] +
Log[1/((x - 1550)^2 + (y - 2000)^2)] +
Log[1/((x - 2000)^2 + (y - 1700)^2)], {x, 0, 3000}, {y, 0, 3000},
PlotPoints -> 50]
but if you prescribe the contours
ContourPlot[
Log[1/((x - 1500)^2 + (y - 1200)^2)] +
Log[1/((x - 1550)^2 + (y - 2000)^2)] +
Log[1/((x - 2000)^2 + (y - 1700)^2)], {x, 0, 3000}, {y, 0, 3000},
PlotPoints -> 50, Contours -> Range[40, 80, 5]]
you see, that it’s not the Log because the result is mono-colored.
