Syntax

|[hp]=quiverLine(P,V,vecSize,colorSpec,lineWidth,quiverStyleOpt,alphaLevel);

Description

This function is a short-hand version of the quiver3Dpatch function which enables colormapped and 3D rendering of directional or vector data. The inputs are: P: The vector origins V: The vectors vecSize: The vector sizes colorSpec: The color data which is a string, rgb values or colormapped arrays lineWidth: Line width of the vector quiverStyleOpt: The quiver style, which is 1=normal arrow, 2=Arrive at origin, 3=Pass through origin, 4=Two-sided. alphaLevel: the transparancy level

Examples

Simulating 3D volume and vector data

[X,Y,Z]=meshgrid(linspace(-4.77,4.77,n));
phi=(1+sqrt(5))/2;
M=2 - (cos(X + phi*Y) + cos(X - phi*Y) + cos(Y + phi*Z) + cos(Y - phi*Z) + cos(Z - phi*X) + cos(Z + phi*X));
[u,v,w] = gradient(M); %Vector components
C=hypot(hypot(u(:),v(:)),w(:)); %Vector lenghts
P=[X(:) Y(:) Z(:)];
V=[u(:) v(:) w(:)];

cFigure;

quiverLine(P,V,C,C);

colormap(cMap); colorbar;
axisGeom(gca,fontSize);

quiverStyleOpt=1;
vecAlpha=0.5;
