Plot a list of vectors in the plane
ResourceFunction["PlotVector"][{{x1,y1},{x2,y2},…}] plots the vectors {xi,yi}, each located at the origin. | |
ResourceFunction["PlotVector"][{{x1,y1},{x2,y2},…},{p,q}] plots the vectors {xi,yi}, each located at the point {p,q}. | |
ResourceFunction["PlotVector"][{{{x1,y1},{p1,q1}},{{x2,y2},{p2,q2}},…}] plots the vectors {xi,yi} located at the corresponding points {pi,qi}. | |
ResourceFunction["PlotVector"][{{x1,y1},{x2,y2},…},{{p1,q1},{p2,q2},…}] plots the vectors {xi,yi} located at the corresponding points {pi,qi}. |
| "ArrowSize" | Medium | specify the size of the arrowhead |
| "LocatedVector" | False | whether to draw vectors from the initial point (the first point of the list) to the terminal point (the second point in the list) |
| VectorStyle | RGBColor[.3,.4,.7] | specify the style of the vector |
Plot the vector (1,1) located at the origin:
| In[1]:= |
| Out[1]= | ![]() |
Plot a list of vectors located at the origin:
| In[2]:= |
| Out[2]= | ![]() |
Plot the vector (2,1) located at the point (-1,1):
| In[3]:= |
| Out[3]= | ![]() |
Plot a list of vectors located at the point {1,2}:
| In[4]:= |
| Out[4]= | ![]() |
Plot a list of vectors located at different points. The first list is a list of vectors and the second is a list of initial points:
| In[5]:= |
| Out[5]= | ![]() |
Specify a vector located at a point in three different ways:
| In[6]:= | ![]() |
| Out[6]= | ![]() |
The default arrow size is Medium, which corresponds (roughly) to "ArrowSize"→1.5:
| In[7]:= | ![]() |
| Out[7]= | ![]() |
Change the arrow size of each vector:
| In[8]:= |
| Out[8]= | ![]() |
A located vector from the first point to the second point:
| In[9]:= |
| Out[9]= | ![]() |
Setting the located vector to False draws the vectors located at the origin:
| In[10]:= |
| Out[10]= | ![]() |
A list of lists of pairs of vectors with the option "LocatedVector"→True draws located vectors from the first point in each sublist to the second point in each sublist:
| In[11]:= |
| Out[11]= | ![]() |
Without the option being set, the second tuple in each list gives the located point, and the first tuple gives the direction:
| In[12]:= |
| Out[12]= | ![]() |
Change the style of the vectors:
| In[13]:= |
| Out[13]= | ![]() |
Set both the arrow size and style for each vector:
| In[14]:= |
| Out[14]= | ![]() |
The length of the list of vectors must be the same as the length of the list of initial points:
| In[15]:= |
