Vector Field Plots Package Symbol

ListVectorFieldPlot

ListVectorFieldPlot[{{{x₁₁, y₁₁}, {x₁₂, y₁₂}, ...}, ...}]
generates a plot of the vector field corresponding to the array of vectors {{{x₁₁, y₁₁}, ...}, ...}.

ListVectorFieldPlot[{{pt₁, vec₁}, {pt₂, vec₂}, ...}]
generates a plot of a list of vectors, each based at the corresponding point.

MORE INFORMATION

To use ListVectorFieldPlot, you first need to load the Vector Field Plotting Package using Needs["VectorFieldPlots`"].

The array of vectors {{{x₁₁, y₁₁}, {x₁₂, y₁₂}, ...}, ...} must be rectangular, with dimensions at least 2×2.

Vectors given in an array are regularly spaced with vector {x₁₁, x₁₁} placed at the upper-left corner.

ListVectorFieldPlot has the same options as Graphics, with the following additions and changes:

ColorFunction	None	a function to use for coloring the vectors by their magnitude
MaxArrowLength	None	length of the largest vector to be drawn, applied after the ScaleFunction, but before the ScaleFactor
ScaleFactor	Automatic	linearly rescales the vectors so the longest vector is equal to this value; Automatic fits the vectors in the mesh, None eliminates the rescaling
ScaleFunction	None	a function to use for rescaling the magnitude of vectors

ListVectorFieldPlot treats the option ScaleFactor->Automatic the same as ScaleFactor->None.
