问题
I want to plot a heart shape wireframe as shown in the following image (source):
I have tried to make it by using this MATLAB program:
n=100;
x=linspace(-3,3,n);
y=linspace(-3,3,n);
z=linspace(-3,3,n);
[X,Y,Z]=ndgrid(x,y,z);
F=((-(X.^2) .* (Z.^3) -(9/80).*(Y.^2).*(Z.^3)) + ((X.^2) + (9/4).* (Y.^2) + (Z.^2)-1).^3);
isosurface(F,0)
lighting phong
caxis
axis equal
colormap('flag');
view([55 34]);
But I didn't get the desired shape of framework as shown in the figure.
I have identified the problem: to create a wireframe we usually use the command mesh(). But this plotting facility only allow us to plot a function of two variables such as z=f(x,y). But my program makes use of three variables: F(x,y,z).
How can I solve the problem?

Here's my best attempt at reproducing the entire figure:
Generating the contoured heart mesh:
I used the contourc function to generate a series of contours in the x-y, x-z, and y-z planes. Notice that in the image you want to reproduce, the mesh lines on the back-facing side of the heart are not rendered. The quickest and easiest way I could think of to reproduce that aspect of the plot was to use isosurface to render a white surface just beneath the inside surface of the mesh, blocking the view of the back side.
Here's the code for the function heart:
function heart
% Initialize the volume data, figure, and axes:
[X,Y,Z] = meshgrid(linspace(-3,3,101));
F = -X.^2.*Z.^3-(9/80).*Y.^2.*Z.^3+(X.^2+(9/4).*Y.^2+Z.^2-1).^3;
hFigure = figure('Position',[200 200 400 400],'Color','w');
hAxes = axes('Parent',hFigure,'Units','pixels',...
'Position',[1 1 400 400],'NextPlot','add',...
'DataAspectRatio',[1 1 1],'Visible','off',...
'CameraViewAngle',10,...
'XLim',[32 70],'YLim',[39 63],'ZLim',[34 73]);
view([-39 30]);
% Create and plot contours in the y-z plane:
for iX = [35 38 41 45 48 51 54 57 61 64 67]
plane = reshape(F(:,iX,:),101,101);
cData = contourc(plane,[0 0]);
xData = iX.*ones(1,cData(2,1));
plot3(hAxes,xData,cData(2,2:end),cData(1,2:end),'k');
end
% Create and plot contours in the x-z plane:
for iY = [41 44 47 51 55 58 61]
plane = reshape(F(iY,:,:),101,101);
cData = contourc(plane,[0 0]);
yData = iY.*ones(1,cData(2,1));
plot3(hAxes,cData(2,2:end),yData,cData(1,2:end),'k');
end
% Create and plot contours in the x-y plane:
for iZ = [36 38 40 42 44 46 48 50 52 54 56 58 60 62 64 66 69 71]
plane = F(:,:,iZ);
cData = contourc(plane,[0 0]);
startIndex = 1;
if size(cData,2) > (cData(2,1)+1)
startIndex = cData(2,1)+2;
zData = iZ.*ones(1,cData(2,1));
plot3(hAxes,cData(1,2:(startIndex-1)),...
cData(2,2:(startIndex-1)),zData,'k');
end
zData = iZ.*ones(1,cData(2,startIndex));
plot3(hAxes,cData(1,(startIndex+1):end),...
cData(2,(startIndex+1):end),zData,'k');
end
% Fill the inside of the mesh with an isosurface to
% block rendering of the back side of the heart:
p = patch(isosurface(F,-0.001));
set(p,'FaceColor','w','EdgeColor','none');
end
Putting the figure together:
To reproduce the entire figure I first generated the heart mesh using the heart function above, then added the other elements around it. I also used a few submissions from The MathWorks File Exchange:
- arrow.m from Erik Johnson (to generate the arrows)
- myaa.m from Anders Brun (to create a nice anti-aliased final image)
Here's the code for the function I_Heart_Math (which generates the above figure):
function I_Heart_Math
% Initialize heart plot and adjust figure and axes settings:
heart;
set(gcf,'Position',[200 200 700 300],'Name','Original image');
offset = get(gca,'CameraPosition')-get(gca,'CameraTarget');
offset = 35.*offset./norm(offset);
set(gca,'Position',[65 -9 300 300],'CameraViewAngle',6,...
'XLim',[21+offset(1) 70],'YLim',[16+offset(2) 63],...
'ZLim',[32 81+offset(3)]);
% Create the axes and labels, offsetting them in front of the
% heart to give the appearance they are passing through it:
arrowStarts = [81 51 51; 51 86 51; 51 51 32]+repmat(offset,3,1);
arrowEnds = [21 51 51; 51 16 51; 51 51 81]+repmat(offset,3,1);
arrow(arrowStarts,arrowEnds,5,40,40);
text('Position',[22 52 48]+offset,'String','x','FontSize',12);
text('Position',[50 17 49]+offset,'String','y','FontSize',12);
text('Position',[46.5 51 81.5]+offset,'String','z','FontSize',12);
% Create the equation text:
text('Position',[51 47 28],'FontName','Bookman','FontSize',8,...
'HorizontalAlignment','center',...
'String',{'(x^2+^9/_4y^2+z^2-1)^3-x^2z^3-^9/_{80}y^2z^3=0'; ...
'-3 \leq x,y,z \leq 3'});
% Create the large-type text:
hI = text('Position',[4 52 69.5],'String','I',...
'FontAngle','italic','FontName','Trebuchet MS',...
'FontSize',116,'FontWeight','bold');
hM = text('Position',[80.5 50 42.5],'String','Math',...
'FontAngle','italic','FontName','Trebuchet MS',...
'FontSize',116,'FontWeight','bold');
% Create an anti-aliased version of the figure too (the larger
% fonts need some adjustment to do this... not sure why):
set(hI,'Position',[4 52 68],'FontSize',86);
set(hM,'Position',[80.5 50 41],'FontSize',86);
myaa;
set(hI,'Position',[4 52 69.5],'FontSize',116);
set(hM,'Position',[80.5 50 42.5],'FontSize',116);
set(gcf,'Name','Anti-aliased image');
end

A very elegant solution is given by @gnovice. I though I extend it by adding the other elements to replicate the figure pointed by the OP. I also added some cool animations!

This code plots the shaded surface:
% volume data
step = 0.05;
[X,Y,Z] = meshgrid(-3:step:3, -3:step:3, -3:step:3);
F = (-(X.^2).*(Z.^3)-(9/80).*(Y.^2).*(Z.^3))+((X.^2)+(9/4).*(Y.^2)+(Z.^2)-1).^3;
% shaded surface
isosurface(X,Y,Z,F,0)
lighting phong
axis equal
view(-39,30)
set(gcf, 'Color','w')
colormap flag
We could instead plot the wireframe only:
% volume data
step = 0.05;
[X,Y,Z] = meshgrid(-3:step:3, -3:step:3, -3:step:3);
F = (-(X.^2).*(Z.^3)-(9/80).*(Y.^2).*(Z.^3))+((X.^2)+(9/4).*(Y.^2)+(Z.^2)-1).^3;
% wireframe
patch(isosurface(X,Y,Z,F,0), 'FaceColor','w', 'EdgeColor','b')
daspect([1 1 1])
view(3)
axis tight equal
set(gcf, 'Color','w')
