I try to draw this spiral by Matlab

t=[0:0.001:4*pi]; x=(1/2)*(exp(exp(-t))+exp(exp(-t-2*pi))).*cos(t); y=(1/2)*(exp(exp(-t))+exp(exp(-t-2*pi))).*sin(t); plot(x,y);

but I want to show the domain between two curve. First curve from t=0 to 2*pi and the second curve from t=2*pi to 4*pi.

How can draw this spiral by Latex?

Thank you very match, but a want show a x-axis between -1.1 and -0.99 and at y-axis between -1.1 and -0.99 we can see the spiral converge to 1 and if at take arg from 0 to 6*\pi . we need to show the domain especially in quarter three and four. for example in this figer the domain G and H.

    As I understand your problem title of your question is misleading. You like to draw two function on the same domain, as I see. For this in LaTeX exist meny options, between them the most poverful are packages pgfplots and pstricks. For first one is worth to look in example gallery http://pgfplots.net/ and of course read manual for this packages. ON this basis try to construct "Minimal Working Example (MWE)". Otherwise, this question will treat as do-it-for-me. Commented Dec 31, 2015 at 2:13

  • @htu, I saw some of your other posts, like spiral spring in tikz and realized just after my answer, that you are probably asking for a quite different graph. Maybe you could tell us a bit more about what you actually want to accomplish? To me, it is very unclear. (might be just my understandings of math) Commented Dec 31, 2015 at 4:12

You could use PGFPlots, which gives great, flexible graphs with relatively short code.

I couldn't really make sense of what you are doing here mathematically (double exp? must be above my mathematical apprehension), so this probably doesn't look right. You should be able to adjust this to your needs. 

\documentclass{article} \usepackage{tikz} \usepackage[graphics, active, tightpage]{preview} \PreviewEnvironment{tikzpicture} \setlength\PreviewBorder{1em} \usepackage{pgfplots} \pgfplotsset{width=12cm,compat=1.12} \begin{document} \begin{tikzpicture} \newcommand{\varT}{pi*x} \begin{axis}[ y label style={rotate=-90}, title=My title, ylabel = $y-axis$, xlabel = {t}, ] \addplot[ red, domain=0:2, samples=17, ] {(1/2)*(exp(exp(-\varT))+exp(exp(-\varT-2*pi)))*cos(\varT)}; \addplot[ blue, domain=2:4, samples=17, ] {(1/2)*(exp(exp(-\varT))+exp(exp(-\varT-2*pi)))*sin(\varT)}; \legend{$(\frac{1}{2})[\exp(\exp(-t))+\exp(\exp(-t-2\pi))]cos(t)$, $(\frac{1}{2})[\exp(\exp(-t))+\exp(\exp(-t-2\pi))]sin(t)$} \end{axis} \end{tikzpicture} \end{document}

  • I correct written of functions exp to \exp, sin to \sin and cos to \cos. Accordingly I upload new picture, which consider those changes. If you not liked this, you just return your answer to original form. Commented Dec 31, 2015 at 3:59

A short code with pst-plot:

\documentclass[x11names, border=3pt]{standalone} \usepackage{pstricks-add} \usepackage{auto-pst-pdf} \usepackage{fp} \FPeval{\FourPi}{4*\FPpi} \begin{document} \psset{ algebraic, arrowinset=0.2, arrowsize=3.5pt, arrowlength=1.5, linejoin=1,unit=6, dimen=inner} \begin{pspicture*}(-1.8,-1.5)(3,1.5) \psset{plotpoints=200,fillstyle=solid} \parametricplot[linewidth=1.8pt, linecolor=IndianRed3, fillcolor=Thistle3!50!]{0}{TwoPi}{% (EXP(EXP(-t)) +EXP(EXP(-t-2*Pi)) )*COS(t)/2 | (EXP(EXP(-t)) +EXP(EXP(-t-2*Pi)) )*SIN(t)/2}% \parametricplot[linewidth=1.2pt, linecolor=RoyalBlue3!50, opacity=1]{TwoPi}{\FourPi}{% (EXP(EXP(-t)) +EXP(EXP(-t-2*Pi)) )*COS(t)/2 | (EXP(EXP(-t)) +EXP(EXP(-t-2*Pi)) )*SIN(t)/2}% \psaxes[arrows=->, linecolor=SlateGray3,]{->}(0,0)(-2,-1.3)(2.5,1.5)[$x$, -120][$y$, -140] \uput[dl](0,0){$O$} \end{pspicture*} \end{document}

  • Judging by the "answer" posted by the OP I think (s)he wants something else, though I cannot understand exactly what. Commented Dec 31, 2015 at 14:04

Another PSTricks solution with stolen code from Bernard. Run it with xelatex:

\documentclass[pstricks]{standalone} \usepackage{pst-plot} \def\fx{(e^(e^(-t))+e^(e^(-t-2*Pi)))*cos(t)/2} \def\fy{(e^(e^(-t))+e^(e^(-t-2*Pi)))*sin(t)/2} \begin{document} \psset{algebraic,arrowscale=1.5,unit=6,plotpoints=200,fillstyle=solid} \begin{pspicture}(-1.5,-1.5)(3,1.6) \psparametricplot[linewidth=1.8pt,linecolor=red!60,fillcolor=red!20]% {0}{TwoPi}[/e Euler def]{\fx | \fy}% \psparametricplot[linewidth=1.2pt,linecolor=blue!60,fillcolor=blue!10]% {TwoPi}{TwoPi dup add}[/e Euler def]{\fx | \fy}% \psaxes[linecolor=black!25]{->}(0,0)(-1.3,-1.3)(2.25,1.5)[$x$, -120][$y$, -140] \end{pspicture} \end{document}

  • Thanks to your code, I begin to understand how to insert Postscript code inside a pspicture code :o). Just one question: is it possible from within LaTeX to patch a .pro file (to define, say, FourPi and the like) as one can patch a LaTeX command/ environment with etoolbox?

The whole circle

I don't know if this looks like what you expect, but here's how you could plot a parametric curve, and fill the region between them. Don't know if the filling is something you want though. Note that the trigonometric functions assume degrees by default, which is why I've used deg(t) in those.

enter image description here

\documentclass[border=4mm]{standalone} \usepackage{pgfplots} \pgfplotsset{width=12cm,compat=1.12} \usepgfplotslibrary{fillbetween} \begin{document} \begin{tikzpicture} \begin{axis}[ title=My title, ylabel = {$y$}, xlabel = {$x$}, ] \addplot[ domain=0:2*pi, samples=100, variable=t, name path=A ] ( {(1/2)*(exp(exp(-t))+exp(exp(-t-2*pi)))*cos(deg(t))}, {(1/2)*(exp(exp(-t))+exp(exp(-t-2*pi)))*sin(deg(t))} ); \addplot[ thick, domain=2*pi:4*pi, samples=100, variable=t, name path=B ] ( {(1/2)*(exp(exp(-t))+exp(exp(-t-2*pi)))*cos(deg(t))}, {(1/2)*(exp(exp(-t))+exp(exp(-t-2*pi)))*sin(deg(t))} ); \addplot [blue,opacity=0.1] fill between[of=A and B]; \end{axis} \end{tikzpicture} \end{document}

Show just some quadrants

If you want to show just parts of this, you could of course adjust the domain. Perhaps easier is to just set xmin, xmax, ymin and ymax to whatever you like. For example:

enter image description here

\documentclass[border=4mm]{standalone} \usepackage{pgfplots} \usepgfplotslibrary{fillbetween} \begin{document} \begin{tikzpicture} \begin{axis}[ width=10cm, height=6cm, title=My title, ylabel = {$y$}, xlabel = {$x$}, xmin=-1.1,xmax=1.1, ymin=-1.01,ymax=0, ] \addplot[ red, thick, domain=0:2*pi, samples=100, variable=t, ] ( {(1/2)*(exp(exp(-t))+exp(exp(-t-2*pi)))*cos(deg(t))}, {(1/2)*(exp(exp(-t))+exp(exp(-t-2*pi)))*sin(deg(t))} ); \addplot[ blue, thick, domain=2*pi:4*pi, samples=100, variable=t, ] ( {(1/2)*(exp(exp(-t))+exp(exp(-t-2*pi)))*cos(deg(t))}, {(1/2)*(exp(exp(-t))+exp(exp(-t-2*pi)))*sin(deg(t))} ); \end{axis} \end{tikzpicture} \end{document}

Completely different route

If you want to demonstrate that it becomes a circle, perhaps you could plot the distance from the origin as a function of t instead:

enter image description here

\documentclass[border=4mm]{standalone} \usepackage{pgfplots} \begin{document} \begin{tikzpicture} \begin{axis}[ title=Distance from origin, ylabel = {$r$}, xlabel = {$t$}, xticklabel={$\pgfmathprintnumber{\tick}\pi$}, ] \addplot[ red, thick, domain=0:6*pi, samples=100, ] (x/pi,{sqrt(((1/2)*(exp(exp(-x))+exp(exp(-x-2*pi)))*cos(deg(x)))^2 +((1/2)*(exp(exp(-x))+exp(exp(-x-2*pi)))*sin(deg(x)))^2)}); \end{axis} \end{tikzpicture} \end{document}
