ScaleFunction

As of Version 7.0, ScaleFunction has been superseded by VectorScale.

ScaleFunction

is an option for the vector field visualization functions that rescales each vector to a length determined by applying a pure function to the current length of that vector.

Wolfram Language code: Needs["VectorFieldPlots`"]

With no scaling, the vectors have exponential lengths:

Wolfram Language code: VectorFieldPlot[{Exp[x], Exp[y]}, {x, 0, 1}, {y, 0, 1}, ScaleFactor -> None]

Scale the vectors logarithmically:

Wolfram Language code: VectorFieldPlot[{Exp[x], Exp[y]}, {x, 0, 1}, {y, 0, 1}, ScaleFunction -> Log, ScaleFactor -> None]
