Vector Fields
Quiver, compass, feather, and stream plots
Vector fields can model velocity, magnetic force, fluid motion, and gradients. Visualize
vector fields in a 2-D or 3-D view using the quiver
, quiver3
, and streamline
functions. You can also display vectors along a horizontal axis or
from the origin.
