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]:= |
