Quiver or Velocity Plot — quiver • pracma

A quiver plot displays velocity vectors as arrows with components (u,v) at the points (x,y).

quiver(x, y, u, v,
           scale = 0.05, angle = 10, length = 0.1, ...)

Arguments

x, y: x,y-coordinates of start points of the arrows.
u, v: x,y-coordinates of start points.
scale: scales the length of the arrows.
angle: angle between shaft and edge of the arrows.
length: length of the arrow edges.
...: more options presented to the arrows primitive.

Details

The matrices x, y, u, v must all be the same size and contain corresponding position and velocity components. However, x and y can also be vectors.

Value

Opens a graph window and plots the velocity vectors.
