Bug introduced in version 13.0

I'm very new to mathematica and I've just begun plotting colorplots for Complex functions. Currently, I'm trying to set the output to be only restricted to the unit disk (|z|<1) and I stumbled upon RegionFunction. However it seems, the following sample code under RegionPlot from Mathematica:

Table[ComplexPlot[Exp[-z] Sin[3 z], {z, -2 - 2 I, 2 + 2 I}, 
  PlotPoints -> 50, MaxRecursion -> mr, 
  RegionFunction -> Function[z, Abs[z] <= 0.5]], {mr, 0, 2}]

does not seem to work. Am I forgetting something or does RegionFunction not apply for Complex Functions?

  • $\begingroup$ On v12.2.0, Win7-x64, I run ComplexPlot[Exp[-z] Sin[3 z], {z, -2 - 2 I, 2 + 2 I}, PlotPoints -> 50, MaxRecursion -> 4, RegionFunction -> Function[z, Abs[z] <= 1]] to get this output. $\endgroup$

    $\begingroup$ It must be a bug. The RegionFunction in ComplexPlot does not work in 13.0.1. $\endgroup$

It must be a bug. Here is a working around.

ComplexPlot[Exp[-z] Sin[3 z], {z, -2 - 2 I, 2 + 2 I}, 
 PlotPoints -> 50, MaxRecursion -> 2, 
 MeshFunctions -> Function[{z}, Abs[z]], Mesh -> {{.5}}, 
 MeshShading -> {Automatic, None}]

enter image description here

Another example in document also can not work in 13.0.1 and here we still using Mesh.

ComplexPlot[(z^2 + 1)/(z^2 - 1), {z, -2 - 2 I, 2 + 2 I}, 
 RegionFunction -> Function[{z, f}, 1 <= Abs[f] <= 2]]

ComplexPlot[(z^2 + 1)/(z^2 - 1), {z, -2 - 2 I, 2 + 2 I}, 
 PlotPoints -> 80, MaxRecursion -> 4, 
 MeshFunctions -> Function[{z, f}, Abs[f]], Mesh -> {{1, 2}}, 
 MeshShading -> {None, Automatic}]

  • $\begingroup$ Hi! Thanks for the answer. It seems it is a bug indeed but this workaround does the job! $\endgroup$
