Piecewise function is not correct plotted with tikz












3















I am trying to plot a piecewise function using the code below. The problem is, that the right piece is not plotted correct. It should (obviously) be constant zero, for values bigger than pi/2, but it does not look like that in the plot.
I am sure I did something wrong.



Thanks in advance.



Plot



begin{tikzpicture}[
declare function={
func(x)= and(x >= -pi, x < -pi/2) * (0) +
and(x >= -pi/2, x <= pi/2) * (-(x)*(x)+pi*pi/4) +
and(x > pi/2, x <= pi) * * (0)
;
}
]
begin{axis}[
Axis Style,
xtick={
-3.14159, -1.5708, 0,
1.5708, 3.14159
},
xticklabels={
$-pi$, $-frac{pi}{2}$, $0$, $frac{pi}{2}$, $pi$
},
ytick={
0,
1.234, 2.467
},
yticklabels={
$0$, $frac{pi^2}{8}$, $frac{pi^2}{4}$
},
samples=75
]
addplot [mark=none,ultra thick, domain=-3.1415:3.15, blue] {func(x)};
end{axis}
end{tikzpicture}

    Welcome to TeX.SX! Without testing it I would guess that this is because of the number of samples and where they are. Remove mark=none to confirm this. Then you can either increase the number of samples by adding samples=<number of samples to either the axis or the addplot options or make sure that there is a sample point at all relevant places.

  • I have already tried increasing/decreasing the number of samples, it sometimes got better, but a higher number of samples did not mean a better result...

    I haven't tested but I think that removing a * in the third line in declare function would do.

    Both of the first two lines have one * each, but the third one has two *s. Maybe that is the problem.

There was a small mistake in your code.
Try with this small change:

and(x >= -pi/2, x <= pi/2) * (-(x)*(x)+pi*pi/4) +
