Class VectorPlot

java.lang.Object
  org.opensourcephysics.display2d.VectorPlot

All Implemented Interfaces:

Drawable, Measurable, Plot2D

public class VectorPlot
extends java.lang.Object
implements Plot2D

VectorPlot renders a vector field in a drawing panel using arrows centered on each grid point in the GridPointData. The default representation of the vector field uses fixed length arrows to show direction and color to show magnitude.
