Fubini Example

I couldn’t quite get the graph to represent what I wanted, but here is the attempt regardless. I am not annotating it much more than this, as you are welcome to check out the hand drawn reference

Code

Python

import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
from mpl_toolkits.mplot3d.art3d import Poly3DCollection

# Parameters for the cube and partitioning
a, b = 0, 2  # x-range
c, d = 0, 2  # y-range
h = 2  # height for z
n = 5  # Number of slabs
delta_y = (d - c) / n  # Width of each slab

# Create the figure and 3D axis
fig = plt.figure(figsize=(8, 6))
ax = fig.add_subplot(111, projection='3d')

# Define vertices of the cube at the corners
x_corners = [a, b, b, a, a, b, b, a]
y_corners = [c, c, d, d, c, c, d, d]
z_corners = [0, 0, 0, 0, h, h, h, h]

# Plot the partitioned 3D blocks along the y-axis
for i in range(1, n+1):
    y_i = c + i * delta_y
    y_i_1 = c + (i - 1) * delta_y

# Set labels and titles

ax.set_ylabel('Y axis')
ax.set_zlabel('Z axis')
ax.set_title('Blocky 3D Partition of Cube with Labels for $y_{i-1}$ and $y_i$')

# Remove lines connecting cube corners

# Set axis limits to match a cube shape
ax.set_xlim([a, b])
