2D Vector Field Visualization
The files in this package comprise two Matlab functions that create
visualizations of 2D vector fields.
cquiver renders a vector field as a grid of unit-length arrows. The arrow direction indicates vector field direction, and the color indicates the magnitude. Color is taken from the current colormap.
vfcolor renders a vector field as a grid of colors. Hue indicates the field direction, and saturation indicates the magnitude. The current implementation uses a fixed color coding.
