1. Slam try in spades without diamond control.

2. Slam try in hearts without diamond control.

3. Slam try in spades with diamond control.

4. Good problem. I think 5D has to be a slam try in hearts with a diamond control. I don't think it works to play this more ambiguously as partner needs to know when to bid 6H. 5S therefore must be a try for 7H with a spade cue besides a heart cue.
and the result can be plotted on a graph.

How can 2 be a slamtry in hearts without a diamond control when I might just bid 5♥ over the double, as in 1?

Maybe you want to make a slam try with 4423 shape?

yep. #2 could be rewritten as:

4D 4M
5M

It doesn't show a single suiter, I'd expect a very strong 4423 shape for example. With this hand you might raise 4S to 5S as well.

edit: cherdano was ahead of me, as usual.
