Tutorial: Building custom geometries with PINA DomainInterface
classΒΆ
In this tutorial we will show how to use geometries in PINA. Specifically, the tutorial will include how to create geometries and how to visualize them. The topics covered are:
- Creating CartesianDomains and EllipsoidDomains
- Getting the Union and Difference of Geometries
- Sampling points in the domain (and visualize them)
We import the relevant modules first.

ax.title.set_text(title)
ax.scatter(pts.extract("x"), pts.extract("y"), color="blue", alpha=0.5)
Built-in GeometriesΒΆ
We will create one cartesian and two ellipsoids. For the sake of simplicity, we show here the 2-dimensional case, but the extension to 3D (and higher) cases is trivial. The geometries allow also the generation of samples belonging to the boundary. So, we will create one ellipsoid with the border and one without.
cartesian = CartesianDomain({"x": [0, 2], "y": [0, 2]})
ellipsoid_no_border = EllipsoidDomain({"x": [1, 3], "y": [1, 3]})
ellipsoid_border = EllipsoidDomain(
{"x": [2, 4], "y": [2, 4]}, sample_surface=True
)
The {'x': [0, 2], 'y': [0, 2]}
are the bounds of the CartesianDomain
being created.
To visualize these shapes, we need to sample points on them. We will use the sample
method of the CartesianDomain
and EllipsoidDomain
classes. This method takes a n
argument which is the number of points to sample. It also takes different modes to sample, such as 'random'
.
cartesian_samples = cartesian.sample(n=1000, mode="random")
ellipsoid_no_border_samples = ellipsoid_no_border.sample(n=1000, mode="random")
ellipsoid_border_samples = ellipsoid_border.sample(n=1000, mode="random")
We can see the samples of each geometry to see what we are working with.
print(f"Cartesian Samples: {cartesian_samples}")
print(f"Ellipsoid No Border Samples: {ellipsoid_no_border_samples}")
print(f"Ellipsoid Border Samples: {ellipsoid_border_samples}")
Cartesian Samples: 1: {'dof': ['x', 'y'], 'name': 1} tensor([[1.9076, 0.1159], [0.0258, 0.4950], [0.3328, 1.4356], ..., [0.0905, 1.5878], [1.6612, 1.9158], [0.7819, 0.8159]]) Ellipsoid No Border Samples: 1: {'dof': ['x', 'y'], 'name': 1} tensor([[2.0847, 2.9146], [1.9791, 2.3323], [1.8994, 1.7845], ..., [2.4376, 1.7432], [1.5150, 2.1537], [2.0770, 2.3910]]) Ellipsoid Border Samples: 1: {'dof': ['x', 'y'], 'name': 1} tensor([[2.2609, 2.3265], [2.0827, 2.6018], [2.0604, 2.6577], ..., [2.4604, 3.8419], [3.9864, 2.8357], [2.0356, 2.7356]])
Notice how these are all LabelTensor
objects. You can read more about these in the documentation. At a very high level, they are tensors where each element in a tensor has a label that we can access by doing <tensor_name>.labels
. We can also access the values of the tensor by doing <tensor_name>.extract(['x'])
.
We are now ready to visualize the samples using matplotlib.
fig, axs = plt.subplots(1, 3, figsize=(16, 4))
pts_list = [
cartesian_samples,
ellipsoid_no_border_samples,
ellipsoid_border_samples,
]
title_list = ["Cartesian Domain", "Ellipsoid Domain", "Ellipsoid Border Domain"]
for ax, pts, title in zip(axs, pts_list, title_list):
plot_scatter(ax, pts, title)
We have now created, sampled, and visualized our first geometries! We can see that the EllipsoidDomain
with the border has a border around it. We can also see that the EllipsoidDomain
without the border is just the ellipse. We can also see that the CartesianDomain
is just a square.
Simplex DomainΒΆ
Among the built-in shapes, we quickly show here the usage of SimplexDomain
, which can be used for polygonal domains!
import torch
spatial_domain = SimplexDomain(
[
LabelTensor(torch.tensor([[0, 0]]), labels=["x", "y"]),
LabelTensor(torch.tensor([[1, 1]]), labels=["x", "y"]),
LabelTensor(torch.tensor([[0, 2]]), labels=["x", "y"]),
]
)
spatial_domain2 = SimplexDomain(
[
LabelTensor(torch.tensor([[0.0, -2.0]]), labels=["x", "y"]),
LabelTensor(torch.tensor([[-0.5, -0.5]]), labels=["x", "y"]),
LabelTensor(torch.tensor([[-2.0, 0.0]]), labels=["x", "y"]),
]
)
pts = spatial_domain2.sample(100)
fig, axs = plt.subplots(1, 2, figsize=(16, 6))
for domain, ax in zip([spatial_domain, spatial_domain2], axs):
pts = domain.sample(1000)
plot_scatter(ax, pts, "Simplex Domain")
Boolean OperationsΒΆ
To create complex shapes we can use the boolean operations, for example to merge two default geometries. We need to simply use the Union
class: it takes a list of geometries and returns the union of them.
Let's create three unions. Firstly, it will be a union of cartesian
and ellipsoid_no_border
. Next, it will be a union of ellipse_no_border
and ellipse_border
. Lastly, it will be a union of all three geometries.
cart_ellipse_nb_union = Union([cartesian, ellipsoid_no_border])
cart_ellipse_b_union = Union([cartesian, ellipsoid_border])
three_domain_union = Union([cartesian, ellipsoid_no_border, ellipsoid_border])
We can of course sample points over the new geometries, by using the sample
method as before. We highlight that the available sample strategy here is only random.
c_e_nb_u_points = cart_ellipse_nb_union.sample(n=2000, mode="random")
c_e_b_u_points = cart_ellipse_b_union.sample(n=2000, mode="random")
three_domain_union_points = three_domain_union.sample(n=3000, mode="random")
We can plot the samples of each of the unions to see what we are working with.
fig, axs = plt.subplots(1, 3, figsize=(16, 4))
pts_list = [c_e_nb_u_points, c_e_b_u_points, three_domain_union_points]
title_list = [
"Cartesian with Ellipsoid No Border Union",
"Cartesian with Ellipsoid Border Union",
"Three Domain Union",
]
for ax, pts, title in zip(axs, pts_list, title_list):
plot_scatter(ax, pts, title)
Now, we will find the differences of the geometries. We will find the difference of cartesian
and ellipsoid_no_border
.
cart_ellipse_nb_difference = Difference([cartesian, ellipsoid_no_border])
c_e_nb_d_points = cart_ellipse_nb_difference.sample(n=2000, mode="random")
fig, ax = plt.subplots(1, 1, figsize=(8, 6))
plot_scatter(ax, c_e_nb_d_points, "Difference")
Create Custom DomainInterfaceΒΆ
We will take a look on how to create our own geometry. The one we will try to make is a heart defined by the function $$(x^2+y^2-1)^3-x^2y^3 \le 0$$
Let's start by importing what we will need to create our own geometry based on this equation.
import torch
from pina import LabelTensor
Next, we will create the Heart(DomainInterface)
class and initialize it.
class Heart(DomainInterface):
"""Implementation of the Heart Domain."""
def __init__(self, sample_border=False):
super().__init__()
Because the DomainInterface
class we are inheriting from requires both a sample
method and is_inside
method, we will create them and just add in "pass" for the moment. We also observe that the methods sample_modes
and variables
of the DomainInterface
class are initialized as abstractmethod
, so we need to redefine them both in the subclass Heart
.
class Heart(DomainInterface):
"""Implementation of the Heart Domain."""
def __init__(self, sample_border=False):
super().__init__()
def is_inside(self):
pass
def sample(self):
pass
@property
def sample_modes(self):
pass
@property
def variables(self):
pass
Now we have the skeleton for our Heart
class. Also the sample
method is where most of the work is done so let's fill it out.
class Heart(DomainInterface):
"""Implementation of the Heart Domain."""
def __init__(self, sample_border=False):
super().__init__()
def is_inside(self):
pass
def sample(self, n):
sampled_points = []
while len(sampled_points) < n:
x = torch.rand(1) * 3.0 - 1.5
y = torch.rand(1) * 3.0 - 1.5
if ((x**2 + y**2 - 1) ** 3 - (x**2) * (y**3)) <= 0:
sampled_points.append([x.item(), y.item()])
return LabelTensor(torch.tensor(sampled_points), labels=["x", "y"])
@property
def sample_modes(self):
pass
@property
def variables(self):
pass
To create the Heart geometry we simply run:
heart = Heart()
To sample from the Heart geometry we simply run:
pts_heart = heart.sample(1500)
fig, ax = plt.subplots()
plot_scatter(ax, pts_heart, "Heart Domain")
What's next?ΒΆ
We have made a very simple tutorial on how to build custom geometries and use domain operation to compose base geometries. Now you can play around with different geometries and build your own!
