VECPLOT2 routine to plot vectors. |
|---|
| 12 |
VECPLOT2 draws vectors on the current figure, at (x,y) |
|---|
| 13 |
locations determined in one of two ways. If the first |
|---|
| 14 |
argument to VECPLOT is a fem_grid_struct, then VECPLOT |
|---|
| 15 |
extracts the FEM domain coordinates as the vector origins. |
|---|
| 16 |
Otherwise, the user supplies the (x,y) coordinates |
|---|
| 17 |
explicitly. This flexibility exists because vector |
|---|
| 18 |
plotting does not require any knowledge of nodal |
|---|
| 19 |
connectivity, and perhaps the (u,v) data are not |
|---|
| 20 |
from a FEM model output. |
|---|
| 21 |
|
|---|
| 22 |
VECPLOT scales the magnitude of |
|---|
| 23 |
(u,v) by the magnitude of max(abs(u,v)) and then |
|---|
| 24 |
forces a vector of magnitude sc to be 10% of the x data |
|---|
| 25 |
range. By default, sc = 1., so that a 1 m/s vector will |
|---|
| 26 |
be scaled to 10% of the x data range. If sc=.5, then |
|---|
| 27 |
a vector magnitude of 50 cm/s will be scaled to 10% of the |
|---|
| 28 |
x data range. Decreasing sc serves to make the vectors |
|---|
| 29 |
appear larger. VECPLOT then prompts the user to place |
|---|
| 30 |
the vector scale on the figure, unless scale_xor,scale_yor |
|---|
| 31 |
is specified (see below). |
|---|
| 32 |
|
|---|
| 33 |
hv=vecplot(x,y,u,v,sc,sclab) |
|---|
| 34 |
OR |
|---|
| 35 |
hv=vecplot(fem_grid_struct,u,v,sc,sclab) |
|---|
| 36 |
|
|---|
| 37 |
|
|---|
| 38 |
INPUT: fem_grid_struct (from LOADGRID, see FEM_GRID_STRUCT) |
|---|
| 39 |
OR |
|---|
| 40 |
x,y - vector origins |
|---|
| 41 |
u,v - vector amplitudes |
|---|
| 42 |
These inputs are optional, but if one is needed, all |
|---|
| 43 |
preceeding it wil be required. |
|---|
| 44 |
sc - vector scaler; (optional; default = 1.) |
|---|
| 45 |
sclab - label for vector scale; (optional; default = 'cm/s') |
|---|
| 46 |
scale_xor,scale_yor - location to place vector scale |
|---|
| 47 |
|
|---|
| 48 |
OUTPUT: h - vector of handles to the vector lines drawn, the |
|---|
| 49 |
scale vector, and the scale vector text. |
|---|
| 50 |
|
|---|
| 51 |
NOTES: VECPLOT requires atleast 2 coordinates and vectors. |
|---|
| 52 |
|
|---|
| 53 |
CALL: hv=vecplot(x,y,u,v,sc,sclab) |
|---|
| 54 |
or |
|---|
| 55 |
hv=vecplot(fem_grid_struct,u,v,sc,sclab) |
