ListStreamDensityPlot
ListStreamDensityPlot[varr]
generates a stream density plot from an array varr of vector and scalar field values {{vxij,vyij},rij}.
ListStreamDensityPlot[{{{x1,y1},{{vx1,vy1},r1}},…}]
generates a stream density plot from vector and scalar field values {{vxi,vyi},ri} given at specified points {xi,yi}.
ListStreamDensityPlot[{data1,data2,…}]
plots data for several vector and scalar fields.
Details and Options
- ListStreamDensityPlot generates a stream plot of the vector field, superimposed on a background density plot of the scalar field.
- ListStreamDensityPlot plots streamlines defined by and where is an interpolated function of the vector data and is an initial stream point. The streamline is the curve passing through point , and whose tangents correspond to the vector field at each point.
- The streamlines are drawn over a density plot of the scalar field , whose default value is the magnitude of the vector field.
- The streamlines are colored by default according to the magnitude of the vector field and have an arrow in the direction of increasing value of .
- ListStreamDensityPlot interpolates the data into vector function and scalar function .
- For regular data, the vector field has value varr〚i,j,1〛 and the scalar field has value varr〚i,j,2〛 at .
- For irregular data, the vector field has value {vxi,vyi} and the scalar field has value riat .
- If no scalar field values are given, they are taken to be the norm of the vector field.
- ListStreamDensityPlot plots streamlines that show the local direction of the vector field at every point.
- ListStreamDensityPlot[varr] arranges successive rows of array up the page and successive columns across.
- ListStreamDensityPlot by default interpolates the data given and shows enough streamlines to achieve a roughly uniform density throughout the plot.
- ListStreamDensityPlot has the same options as Graphics, with the following additions and changes: [List of all options]
