I have tried to produce a graph where the color on the surface depends on the value of z. When I tried doing it in two different ways, the color are different on the two graphs even though as far as I can fee they should be the same. The code are as below ComplexColorPlot[func_, {xmin_, xmax_}, {ymin_, ymax_}, opts___?OptionQ] := Module[{x, y}, Plot3D[Re[func[x + I y]], {x, xmin, xmax}, {y, ymin, ymax}, opts, ColorFunction -> (ColorData["Rainbow"][ Re@func[#1 + I*#2]] &) ] ] ComplexColorPlot2[func_, {xmin_, xmax_}, {ymin_, ymax_}, opts___?OptionQ] := Module[{x, y}, Plot3D[Re[func[x + I y]], {x, xmin, xmax}, {y, ymin, ymax}, opts, ColorFunction -> (ColorData["Rainbow"][#3] &) ] ] ComplexColorPlot[Sqrt, {-1, 1}, {-1, 1}, ViewPoint -> {1.227, -1.942, 3.028}, PlotPoints -> {50, 50}] ComplexColorPlot2[Sqrt, {-1, 1}, {-1, 1}, ViewPoint -> {1.227, -1.942, 3.028}, PlotPoints -> {50, 50}] I expect the functions ComplexColorPlot2 and ComplexColorPlot to produce identical color graphs when given identical inputs but they dont. And I'm at loss as to why they dont. My ultimate objective is to have the color reflect the value of Im[func [x+I*y]] but I'm great difficulties in achieving it.
