quiver arrows in color representing another variable?
Show older comments
Hi
Is it possible to incorporate a second variable into the quiver code? Could the color arrows in quiver be used to represent another variable, such as temperature or humidity ? This would work similarly to the scatter code, where the arrows indicate both the direction and magnitude of the wind but in color another variable?.
Thanks

The above plot looks more like a feather plot of complex values. (You can change the color of individual arrows in feather.)
It would be better if you can attach your data, so suggestions can be made according to it.

You could try getting a similar plot via feather() instead of quiver().

Not by using quiver(). quiver() creates a quivergroup(), which internally contains two LineStrip objects. The LineStrip objects have a CData property that appears to only accept a single color.
