m3sh.vis.quiver(points, vectors, size=1.0, radius=0.025, resolution=6, color=(0.5961, 0.9843, 0.5961))[source]

Quiver plot.

Display arrows at given locations pointing in given directions. For each point exactly one direction vector has to be given.

Parameters:

  • points (array_like, shape (k, 3)) – Point coordinates.

  • vectors (array_like, shape (k, 3)) – Vector coordinates.

  • size (float, optional) – Global scale factor.

  • radius (float, optional) – Unscaled radius of arrow shaft.

  • resolution (int, optional) – Discretization detail level.

  • color (array_like, optional) – Color specification.

Returns:

Vector field prop.

Return type:

Arrows

The glyph used to model arrows has unit length. The radius argument is an absolute value applied to this glyph. The size argument is a global scale factor applied to the glyph. It scales its length and radius. The detail level of the glyph (how many vertices are used to discretize a circle) can be set via the resolution argument.

Note

If array_like parameters are of type ndarray their data buffer is shared with VTK’s data objects (use copies to decouple storage).
