VectorStyle
is an option to VectorPlot, ListVectorPlot, and related functions that determines the style to use for drawing field vectors.
Details
- The setting for VectorStyle can include any color, thickness, dashing, arrowhead, or other graphics directive.
- VectorStyle->g specifies that a graphics directive g should be used to draw vectors in a plot.
- VectorStyle->{g1,g2,…} specifies that successive directives gi should be used cyclically for successive vector fields.
- The directives that can be given include:
-
Arrowheads[spec] arrowheads Dashing[{w1,…}] dashing specification Directive[g1,g2,…] composite graphics directive Glow[c] glow color GrayLevel[i] intensity Hue[h] hue Opacity[a] opacity Red, Blue, etc. named colors RGBColor[r,g,b] RGB color Specularity[s] surface specularity Opacity[a] opacity Thickness[w] line thickness - If an explicit setting is given for VectorColorFunction, it is used in preference to the setting for VectorStyle.

Vector fields are colored to indicate magnitude:
Modify the style of the vectors:
Set VectorColorFunctionNone to modify the color of the vectors:
Scope (5)
Combine vector styles with vector markers:
Control the size of the arrowheads:
Use an arbitrary graphic as the arrowheads for vectors:
Plot a vector field using 3D arrows:
Use Graphics3D as a style for the 3D arrows:
Use Arrowheads to specify the style of the arrowheads:
Change the scaling using the VectorScaling option:
