Plotting vector field with quiver: how to view vector magnitude without image getting too busy [FR] #2925

Open alexboche opened 4 years ago

alexboche commented 4 years ago

I am trying to plot a vector field using quiver. I believe that is a function from Plots.jl, no?

When I just plot it regularly, the image comes out too full since the arrows are too long and you can't see what's going on.

I tried to normalize the vectors to unit vectors and that made it a lot cleaner, but I would like to be able to get some sense of the vector size as well.

Is there a way to get the vector size without it obscuring everything? Maybe using colors? Looks like this can be done with quiver in matplotlib here

Thanks

I'm facing this issue as well, I was unable to get the clean quiver matplotlib-like plots using Plots.jl regardless of the backend. GRUtils supports quiver plots - https://heliosdrm.github.io/GRUtils.jl/stable/api/plotting/#GRUtils.quiver
