15.4.6.7 Quiver Group

Quiver series objects are created by the quiver or quiver3 functions. Each hggroup element of the series contains three line objects as children representing the body and head of the arrow, together with a marker as the point of origin of the arrows. The properties of the quiver series are

autoscale
autoscalefactor

Flag whether the length of the arrows is scaled or defined directly from the u, v and w data. If the arrow length is flagged as being scaled by the autoscale property, then the length of the autoscaled arrow is controlled by the autoscalefactor.

maxheadsize

This property controls the size of the head of the arrows in the quiver series. The default value is 0.2.

showarrowhead

Flag whether the arrow heads are displayed in the quiver plot.

color

The RGB color or color name of the line objects of the quiver. See Colors.

linewidth
linestyle

The line width and style of the line objects of the quiver. See Line Styles.

marker
markerfacecolor
markersize

The line and fill color of the marker objects at the original of the arrows. See Colors.

xdata
ydata
zdata

The origins of the values of the vector field.

udata
vdata
wdata

The values of the vector field to plot.
