GeoVectorPlot
GeoVectorPlot[vecs]
generates a vector plot from the field of geo vectors vecs.
GeoVectorPlot[{vecs1,vecs2,…}]
generates a separate set of vectors for each vecsi.
Details and Options



- GeoVectorPlot plots the direction and magnitude of a vector field over a geographic region using arrows or other discrete markers.
- Sets of vectors vecs can be given in the following forms:
-
GeoVector[…],GeoVectorENU[…],… combined geo vectors {vec1,vec2,…} list of individual geo vectors <loc1vec1,loc2vec2,… > association of locations and vectors - The geographic locations loci can be given in the following forms:
-
GeoPosition[{lat,lon}] latitude and longitude Entity[…] geographic entity Dated[ent,date] dated entity - The vectors veci can be given in the following forms:
-
GeoVector[{m,α}] vector with magnitude m and bearing α at posi GeoVectorENU[{ve,vn}] vector with east and north components - Data not given in these forms is ignored in forming the vector plot.
- GeoVectorPlot has the same options as GeoGraphics, with the following additions and changes:
-
ClippingStyle Automatic how to display arrows outside the vector range Method Automatic methods to use for the plot PerformanceGoal $PerformanceGoal aspects of performance to try to optimize PlotLegends None legends for vector fields PlotTheme $PlotTheme overall theme for the plot RegionBoundaryStyle Automatic how to style plot region boundaries RegionFillingStyle Automatic how to style plot region interiors RegionFunction True determine what region to include VectorAspectRatio Automatic width to length ratio for arrows VectorColorFunction Automatic how to color vectors VectorColorFunctionScaling True whether to scale the argument to VectorColorFunction VectorMarkers Automatic shape to use for vectors VectorPoints Automatic the number or placement of arrows VectorRange Automatic range of vector lengths to show VectorScaling None how to scale the sizes of arrows VectorSizes Automatic sizes of displayed arrows VectorStyle Automatic how to draw vectors - The arguments supplied to RegionFunction are lat, lon, vlat, vlon, Norm[vec].
- The value of region in RegionFunction->region can be an entity or geo polygon over which to plot.
- VectorPoints and StreamPoints accept collections of geo positions and entities.
