How to change foreach to omit a certain multiple
9
I hope the solution to my problem is not too complicated or tedious. I am drawing a diagram which has one nuisance in it:
Every time the sine curve touches the axis TiKz tries to draw a line of 0 length and therefore it produces the arrow tip at that location
How do I remove these arrow tips, while not listing out each individual line (i.e. using something like foeach x in ... or similar. So essentially remove every arrow that is a multiple of 180
Here is the code for drawing the diagram:

Sorry about the code being very messy, I have very bad habits when it comes to writing in LaTeX. I have annotated the 3 lines of code which produce the arrows that define the wave.
Me just thinking about the problem
I think maybe the use of a double foreach stack could work. The first one where some variable a in a list {45,225,405} and then under that something like foreach x in {A,A+45,A+90}{...} so it would look like this:
foreach a in {45,225,405} {
foreach x in {{a},{a +45},{a +90}}{
draw[-latex,help lines,red] (0,{x*(2*3)/360},0) -- (0,{x*(2*3/360)},{2*sin(x)});
}
}
For the first set of helplines.
Unfortunately this attempt does not work for me
EDIT: It does work (see answer below), but is there a more efficient or neat way of solving this problem?

In your doubleforeachputxin parentheses(0,{(x)*(2*3)/360},0) -- (0,{(x)*(2*3/360)},{2*sin(x)}). And you don't need curly brackets in{a,a+45,a+90}.

Yes I just found that out now instead you require parenthesis, I will post a solution very soon

Sorry about the code being very messy, I have very bad habits when it comes to writing in LaTeX. I have annotated the 3 lines of code which produce the arrows that define the wave.
Me just thinking about the problem
I think maybe the use of a double foreach stack could work. The first one where some variable a in a list {45,225,405} and then under that something like foreach x in {A,A+45,A+90}{...} so it would look like this:
foreach a in {45,225,405} {
foreach x in {{a},{a +45},{a +90}}{
draw[-latex,help lines,red] (0,{x*(2*3)/360},0) -- (0,{x*(2*3/360)},{2*sin(x)});
}
}
For the first set of helplines.
Unfortunately this attempt does not work for me
EDIT: It does work (see answer below), but is there a more efficient or neat way of solving this problem?

Here is an alternative. Whether or not it is more tidy, I don't know. In principle, tips=on proper draw from p. 187 of the pgfmanual, which Paul Gaborit pointed out here, should do the trick. But I couldn't make this work, so I implemented a length check by hand. This might be more useful in situations in which it is not so easy to seen when the zero-length paths occur analytically.

Just trying to understand theifstatement. What does the linen1={veclen(x1,y1)}mean. I know that you are defining a vector from the y axis to the wave, but where exactly isx1andy1because they're not referenced anywhere else in the code?
– sab hoque
Jan 12 at 22:52
@sabhoque This just measures the length of the line you are about to add an arrow tip to. If the length is below (the arbitrarily chosen scale of) 1pt, it won't draw the arrow. In more detail,p1is the vector from the start to the end of the line, and correspondinglyx1andy1are its coordinates and thereforen1={veclen(x1,y1)}its length.

@sabhoque Yes. Thecalcsyntax requires you to name the points/vectorsp1,p2etc., and their coordinates will then be stored inx1,y1,x2,y2and so on. (This is, BTW, the reason why I prefer to call theforeachvariableXrather thanx. Axinterferes with this notation, as well as the standard variable in plots.)

Using the foreach in a double stack works. Essentially like this:
foreach a in {1485,1665} {
foreach x in {{a},(a +45),(a +90)}{
draw[-latex,help lines,red] (0,{x*(2*3)/360},0) -- ({-0.7071067812*sin(x)},{x*(2*3/360)},{0.5*sin(x)});
}
}
So the final code looks like this:

You can use xintexpr for that, but surely your nested foreach is more natural in your context.
edefmylist{xinttheiiexpr seq((x/:180)?{x}{omit}, x = 45..[45]..720)relax}
foreach x in mylist { %LOOK HERE FOR FIRST SET OF ARROWS
draw[-latex,help lines,red] (0,{x*(2*3/360},0) -- (-{2*sin(x)},{x*(2*3/360)},{2*sin(x)});}
Explanation: x/:180 is the remainder, we want to eliminate when it is zero, this is what the ? operator and the omit keyword do. And of course 45..[45]..720 is generator of arithmetic sequence.
It is possible to use xintFor syntax, but it expands only once its list argument, so like this is needed:
xintFor #1 in {romannumeral-`0xintiieval{seq((x/:180)?{x}{omit}, x = 45..[45]..720)}}:
{ %LOOK HERE FOR FIRST SET OF ARROWS
draw[-latex,help lines,red] (0,{#1*(2*3/360},0) -- (-{2*sin(#1)},{#1*(2*3/360)},{2*sin(#1)});
}
The xintiieval requires xint 1.3d. Else use xinttheiiexpr, no braces, and relax at the end.
As I said, this is only because of a rainy afternoon. Double foreach avoids extra package...

I didn't really like my double foreach solution because what if I didn't know where the zero length arrows were? I would require something like the your, Marmot's or AndreC's answer.

Jan 12 at 22:49
Also for future reference, is it possible to make it omit say every time the remainder is 90 when divided by 180?
– sab hoque
Jan 12 at 23:01
@sabhoque, yes, use for exampleseq((x/:180 != 90)?{x}{omit}, x =, orseq((x/:180 == 90)?{omit}{x}, x =, orseq(((x-90)/:180)?{x}{omit}, x =, the latter because/:180is really periodical modulo180you don't have to worry about using it with a negative argument, it is really the mathematical remainder in the sense of the mathematicians. (actually that remark applies tox/:180 != 90test too, which translates into "if the remainder is not 90 then choose first branch else second branch``.)

I used the tip= on proper draw key indicated by @marmot in his answer.
- It works fine for the first loop.
- But for the other two, I had to rewrite the coordinates and divide by 60 instead of multiplying by 6 and then dividing by 360, which gives the right result.
Instead of:
draw[-latex,help lines,red] (0,{x*(2*3)/360},0) -- (0,{x*(2*3/360)},{2*sin(x)});
I write:
draw[-latex,help lines,red,tips=on proper draw] (0,{x/60},0) -- (0,{x/60},{2*sin(x)});
I suppose this is a problem related to the way TeX is calculated.

That is quite strange. I had a2*3because I originally had something likelength=2andperiod=6at the beginning, which I guess explains the origin of(2*3)/360.

@sabhoque No, it's not strange, you multiplyxby1/60. So TeX first calculates 1/60 and gets an approximation. The error made in this approximation is then multiplied byxand becomes non-zero for large values ofx. By dividing by60, the error is always smaller.

So something likelength*x*(1/360)would work

Here is an alternative. Whether or not it is more tidy, I don't know. In principle, tips=on proper draw from p. 187 of the pgfmanual, which Paul Gaborit pointed out here, should do the trick. But I couldn't make this work, so I implemented a length check by hand. This might be more useful in situations in which it is not so easy to seen when the zero-length paths occur analytically.

Just trying to understand theifstatement. What does the linen1={veclen(x1,y1)}mean. I know that you are defining a vector from the y axis to the wave, but where exactly isx1andy1because they're not referenced anywhere else in the code?
– sab hoque
Jan 12 at 22:52
@sabhoque This just measures the length of the line you are about to add an arrow tip to. If the length is below (the arbitrarily chosen scale of) 1pt, it won't draw the arrow. In more detail,p1is the vector from the start to the end of the line, and correspondinglyx1andy1are its coordinates and thereforen1={veclen(x1,y1)}its length.

@sabhoque Yes. Thecalcsyntax requires you to name the points/vectorsp1,p2etc., and their coordinates will then be stored inx1,y1,x2,y2and so on. (This is, BTW, the reason why I prefer to call theforeachvariableXrather thanx. Axinterferes with this notation, as well as the standard variable in plots.)

Just trying to understand theifstatement. What does the linen1={veclen(x1,y1)}mean. I know that you are defining a vector from the y axis to the wave, but where exactly isx1andy1because they're not referenced anywhere else in the code?
– sab hoque
Jan 12 at 22:52
@sabhoque This just measures the length of the line you are about to add an arrow tip to. If the length is below (the arbitrarily chosen scale of) 1pt, it won't draw the arrow. In more detail,p1is the vector from the start to the end of the line, and correspondinglyx1andy1are its coordinates and thereforen1={veclen(x1,y1)}its length.

Jan 12 at 23:05
oh I see and is there a reason for usingn1,x1andy1as opposed ton,x, andy
– sab hoque

@sabhoque Yes. Thecalcsyntax requires you to name the points/vectorsp1,p2etc., and their coordinates will then be stored inx1,y1,x2,y2and so on. (This is, BTW, the reason why I prefer to call theforeachvariableXrather thanx. Axinterferes with this notation, as well as the standard variable in plots.)

Here is an alternative. Whether or not it is more tidy, I don't know. In principle, tips=on proper draw from p. 187 of the pgfmanual, which Paul Gaborit pointed out here, should do the trick. But I couldn't make this work, so I implemented a length check by hand. This might be more useful in situations in which it is not so easy to seen when the zero-length paths occur analytically.

@sabhoque Yes. Thecalcsyntax requires you to name the points/vectorsp1,p2etc., and their coordinates will then be stored inx1,y1,x2,y2and so on. (This is, BTW, the reason why I prefer to call theforeachvariableXrather thanx. Axinterferes with this notation, as well as the standard variable in plots.)

Just trying to understand theifstatement. What does the linen1={veclen(x1,y1)}mean. I know that you are defining a vector from the y axis to the wave, but where exactly isx1andy1because they're not referenced anywhere else in the code?

@sabhoque This just measures the length of the line you are about to add an arrow tip to. If the length is below (the arbitrarily chosen scale of) 1pt, it won't draw the arrow. In more detail,p1is the vector from the start to the end of the line, and correspondinglyx1andy1are its coordinates and thereforen1={veclen(x1,y1)}its length.

Using the foreach in a double stack works. Essentially like this:
foreach a in {1485,1665} {
foreach x in {{a},(a +45),(a +90)}{
draw[-latex,help lines,red] (0,{x*(2*3)/360},0) -- ({-0.7071067812*sin(x)},{x*(2*3/360)},{0.5*sin(x)});
}
}
So the final code looks like this:

usetikzlibrary{calc,patterns}
usepackage{tikz-3dplot}

Using the foreach in a double stack works. Essentially like this:
foreach a in {1485,1665} {
foreach x in {{a},(a +45),(a +90)}{
draw[-latex,help lines,red] (0,{x*(2*3)/360},0) -- ({-0.7071067812*sin(x)},{x*(2*3/360)},{0.5*sin(x)});
}
}
So the final code looks like this:

usepackage{tikz-3dplot}

You can use xintexpr for that, but surely your nested foreach is more natural in your context.
edefmylist{xinttheiiexpr seq((x/:180)?{x}{omit}, x = 45..[45]..720)relax}
foreach x in mylist { %LOOK HERE FOR FIRST SET OF ARROWS
draw[-latex,help lines,red] (0,{x*(2*3/360},0) -- (-{2*sin(x)},{x*(2*3/360)},{2*sin(x)});}
Explanation: x/:180 is the remainder, we want to eliminate when it is zero, this is what the ? operator and the omit keyword do. And of course 45..[45]..720 is generator of arithmetic sequence.
It is possible to use xintFor syntax, but it expands only once its list argument, so like this is needed:
xintFor #1 in {romannumeral-`0xintiieval{seq((x/:180)?{x}{omit}, x = 45..[45]..720)}}:
{ %LOOK HERE FOR FIRST SET OF ARROWS
draw[-latex,help lines,red] (0,{#1*(2*3/360},0) -- (-{2*sin(#1)},{#1*(2*3/360)},{2*sin(#1)});
}
The xintiieval requires xint 1.3d. Else use xinttheiiexpr, no braces, and relax at the end.
As I said, this is only because of a rainy afternoon. Double foreach avoids extra package...

I used the tip= on proper draw key indicated by @marmot in his answer.
- It works fine for the first loop.
- But for the other two, I had to rewrite the coordinates and divide by 60 instead of multiplying by 6 and then dividing by 360, which gives the right result.
Instead of:
draw[-latex,help lines,red] (0,{x*(2*3)/360},0) -- (0,{x*(2*3/360)},{2*sin(x)});
I write:
draw[-latex,help lines,red,tips=on proper draw] (0,{x/60},0) -- (0,{x/60},{2*sin(x)});
I suppose this is a problem related to the way TeX is calculated.

That is quite strange. I had a2*3because I originally had something likelength=2andperiod=6at the beginning, which I guess explains the origin of(2*3)/360.

@sabhoque No, it's not strange, you multiplyxby1/60. So TeX first calculates 1/60 and gets an approximation. The error made in this approximation is then multiplied byxand becomes non-zero for large values ofx. By dividing by60, the error is always smaller.

So something likelength*x*(1/360)would work

I used the tip= on proper draw key indicated by @marmot in his answer.
- It works fine for the first loop.
- But for the other two, I had to rewrite the coordinates and divide by 60 instead of multiplying by 6 and then dividing by 360, which gives the right result.
Instead of:
draw[-latex,help lines,red] (0,{x*(2*3)/360},0) -- (0,{x*(2*3/360)},{2*sin(x)});
I write:
draw[-latex,help lines,red,tips=on proper draw] (0,{x/60},0) -- (0,{x/60},{2*sin(x)});
I suppose this is a problem related to the way TeX is calculated.

That is quite strange. I had a2*3because I originally had something likelength=2andperiod=6at the beginning, which I guess explains the origin of(2*3)/360.

@sabhoque No, it's not strange, you multiplyxby1/60. So TeX first calculates 1/60 and gets an approximation. The error made in this approximation is then multiplied byxand becomes non-zero for large values ofx. By dividing by60, the error is always smaller.

So something likelength*x*(1/360)would work

In your double
foreachputxin parentheses(0,{(x)*(2*3)/360},0) -- (0,{(x)*(2*3/360)},{2*sin(x)}). And you don't need curly brackets in{a,a+45,a+90}.– Kpym

Yes I just found that out now instead you require parenthesis, I will post a solution very soon

you can try
pgfmathparse{equal(mod(x,180),0)} ifnumpgfmathresult=0 draw[-latex,help lines,red] (0,{x*(2*3/360},0) -- (-{2*sin(x)},{x*(2*3/360)},{2*sin(x)}); fi– touhami
