Vector Visualization

The Wolfram Language provides state-of-the-art fully automated visualization of vector functions and data—suitable for representing flows, field lines, and other vector fields of any complexity.

Stream Visualization

(RefLink[StreamPlot, paclet:ref/StreamPlot]) — make a stream plot from a vector field function

(RefLink[ListStreamPlot, paclet:ref/ListStreamPlot]) — make a stream plot from vector field data

Vector Visualization

(RefLink[VectorPlot, paclet:ref/VectorPlot]) — plot vectors from a vector field function

(RefLink[ListVectorPlot, paclet:ref/ListVectorPlot]) — plot vectors from vector field data

Vector + Scalar Visualization

(RefLink[StreamDensityPlot, paclet:ref/StreamDensityPlot]) — superimpose plots of vector and scalar field functions

(RefLink[ListStreamDensityPlot, paclet:ref/ListStreamDensityPlot]) — superimpose plots of vector and scalar field data

3D Vector Visualization

(RefLink[VectorPlot3D, paclet:ref/VectorPlot3D]) — plot vectors from a 3D vector field function

(RefLink[ListVectorPlot3D, paclet:ref/ListVectorPlot3D]) — plot vectors from a 3D vector field data

(RefLink[SliceVectorPlot3D, paclet:ref/SliceVectorPlot3D]) — plot vectors on a slice surface

(RefLink[ListSliceVectorPlot3D, paclet:ref/ListSliceVectorPlot3D]) — plot vectors on a slice surface

Options

(RefLink[StreamPoints, paclet:ref/StreamPoints]), (RefLink[VectorPoints, paclet:ref/VectorPoints]) — number or placement of streamlines, vectors
