""" Support for plotting vector fields. Presently this contains Quiver and Barb. Quiver plots an arrow in the direction of the vector, with the size of the arrow related to the magnitude of the vector. Barbs are like quiver in that they point along a vector, but the magnitude of the vector is given schematically by the presence of barbs or flags on the barb. This will also become a home for things such as standard deviation ellipses, which can and will be derived very easily from the Quiver code.

Call signatures:: quiver(U, V, **kw) quiver(U, V, C, **kw) quiver(X, Y, U, V, **kw) quiver(X, Y, U, V, C, **kw) *U* and *V* are the arrow data, *X* and *Y* set the location of the arrows, and *C* sets the color of the arrows. These arguments may be 1-D or 2-D arrays or sequences. If *X* and *Y* are absent, they will be generated as a uniform grid. If *U* and *V* are 2-D arrays and *X* and *Y* are 1-D, and if ``len(X)`` and ``len(Y)`` match the column and row dimensions of *U*, then *X* and *Y* will be expanded with :func:`numpy.meshgrid`. The default settings auto-scales the length of the arrows to a reasonable size. To change this behavior see the *scale* and *scale_units* kwargs. The defaults give a slightly swept-back arrow; to make the head a triangle, make *headaxislength* the same as *headlength*. To make the arrow more pointed, reduce *headwidth* or increase *headlength* and *headaxislength*. To make the head smaller relative to the shaft, scale down all the head parameters. You will probably do best to leave minshaft alone. *linewidths* and *edgecolors* can be used to customize the arrow outlines. Parameters ---------- X : 1D or 2D array, sequence, optional The x coordinates of the arrow locations Y : 1D or 2D array, sequence, optional The y coordinates of the arrow locations U : 1D or 2D array or masked array, sequence The x components of the arrow vectors V : 1D or 2D array or masked array, sequence The y components of the arrow vectors C : 1D or 2D array, sequence, optional The arrow colors units : [ 'width' | 'height' | 'dots' | 'inches' | 'x' | 'y' | 'xy' ] The arrow dimensions (except for *length*) are measured in multiples of this unit. 'width' or 'height': the width or height of the axis 'dots' or 'inches': pixels or inches, based on the figure dpi 'x', 'y', or 'xy': respectively *X*, *Y*, or :math:`\\sqrt{X^2 + Y^2}` in data units The arrows scale differently depending on the units. For 'x' or 'y', the arrows get larger as one zooms in; for other units, the arrow size is independent of the zoom state. For 'width or 'height', the arrow size increases with the width and height of the axes, respectively, when the window is resized; for 'dots' or 'inches', resizing does not change the arrows. angles : [ 'uv' | 'xy' ], array, optional Method for determining the angle of the arrows. Default is 'uv'. 'uv': the arrow axis aspect ratio is 1 so that if *U*==*V* the orientation of the arrow on the plot is 45 degrees counter-clockwise from the horizontal axis (positive to the right). 'xy': arrows point from (x,y) to (x+u, y+v). Use this for plotting a gradient field, for example. Alternatively, arbitrary angles may be specified as an array of values in degrees, counter-clockwise from the horizontal axis. Note: inverting a data axis will correspondingly invert the arrows only with ``angles='xy'``. scale : None, float, optional Number of data units per arrow length unit, e.g., m/s per plot width; a smaller scale parameter makes the arrow longer. Default is *None*. If *None*, a simple autoscaling algorithm is used, based on the average vector length and the number of vectors. The arrow length unit is given by the *scale_units* parameter scale_units : [ 'width' | 'height' | 'dots' | 'inches' | 'x' | 'y' | 'xy' ], \ None, optional If the *scale* kwarg is *None*, the arrow length unit. Default is *None*. e.g. *scale_units* is 'inches', *scale* is 2.0, and ``(u,v) = (1,0)``, then the vector will be 0.5 inches long. If *scale_units* is 'width'/'height', then the vector will be half the width/height of the axes. If *scale_units* is 'x' then the vector will be 0.5 x-axis units. To plot vectors in the x-y plane, with u and v having the same units as x and y, use ``angles='xy', scale_units='xy', scale=1``. width : scalar, optional Shaft width in arrow units; default depends on choice of units, above, and number of vectors; a typical starting value is about 0.005 times the width of the plot. headwidth : scalar, optional Head width as multiple of shaft width, default is 3 headlength : scalar, optional Head length as multiple of shaft width, default is 5 headaxislength : scalar, optional Head length at shaft intersection, default is 4.5 minshaft : scalar, optional Length below which arrow scales, in units of head length. Do not set this to less than 1, or small arrows will look terrible! Default is 1 minlength : scalar, optional Minimum length as a multiple of shaft width; if an arrow length is less than this, plot a dot (hexagon) of this diameter instead. Default is 1. pivot : [ 'tail' | 'mid' | 'middle' | 'tip' ], optional The part of the arrow that is at the grid point; the arrow rotates about this point, hence the name *pivot*. color : [ color | color sequence ], optional This is a synonym for the :class:`~matplotlib.collections.PolyCollection` facecolor kwarg. If *C* has been set, *color* has no effect.

If *X* and *Y* are absent, they will be generated as a uniform grid. If *U* and *V* are 2-D arrays but *X* and *Y* are 1-D, and if ``len(X)`` and ``len(Y)`` match the column and row dimensions of *U*, then *X* and *Y* will be expanded with :func:`numpy.meshgrid`. *U*, *V*, *C* may be masked arrays, but masked *X*, *Y* are not supported at present. Keyword arguments: *length*: Length of the barb in points; the other parts of the barb are scaled against this. Default is 7. *pivot*: [ 'tip' | 'middle' | float ] The part of the arrow that is at the grid point; the arrow rotates about this point, hence the name *pivot*. Default is 'tip'. Can also be a number, which shifts the start of the barb that many points from the origin. *barbcolor*: [ color | color sequence ] Specifies the color all parts of the barb except any flags. This parameter is analogous to the *edgecolor* parameter for polygons, which can be used instead. However this parameter will override facecolor. *flagcolor*: [ color | color sequence ] Specifies the color of any flags on the barb. This parameter is analogous to the *facecolor* parameter for polygons, which can be used instead. However this parameter will override facecolor. If this is not set (and *C* has not either) then *flagcolor* will be set to match *barbcolor* so that the barb has a uniform color. If *C* has been set, *flagcolor* has no effect. *sizes*: A dictionary of coefficients specifying the ratio of a given feature to the length of the barb. Only those values one wishes to override need to be included. These features include: - 'spacing' - space between features (flags, full/half barbs) - 'height' - height (distance from shaft to top) of a flag or full barb - 'width' - width of a flag, twice the width of a full barb - 'emptybarb' - radius of the circle used for low magnitudes *fill_empty*: A flag on whether the empty barbs (circles) that are drawn should be filled with the flag color. If they are not filled, they will be drawn such that no color is applied to the center. Default is False *rounding*: A flag to indicate whether the vector magnitude should be rounded when allocating barb components. If True, the magnitude is rounded to the nearest multiple of the half-barb increment. If False, the magnitude is simply truncated to the next lowest multiple. Default is True *barb_increments*: A dictionary of increments specifying values to associate with different parts of the barb. Only those values one wishes to override need to be included. - 'half' - half barbs (Default is 5) - 'full' - full barbs (Default is 10) - 'flag' - flags (default is 50) *flip_barb*: Either a single boolean flag or an array of booleans. Single boolean indicates whether the lines and flags should point opposite to normal for all barbs. An array (which should be the same size as the other data arrays) indicates whether to flip for each individual barb. Normal behavior is for the barbs and lines to point right (comes from wind barbs having these features point towards low pressure in the Northern Hemisphere.) Default is False Barbs are traditionally used in meteorology as a way to plot the speed and direction of wind observations, but can technically be used to plot any two dimensional vector quantity. As opposed to arrows, which give vector magnitude by the length of the arrow, the barbs give more quantitative information about the vector magnitude by putting slanted lines or a triangle for various increments in magnitude, as show schematically below:: : /\ \\ : / \ \\ : / \ \ \\ : / \ \ \\ : ------------------------------ .. note the double \\ at the end of each line to make the figure .. render correctly The largest increment is given by a triangle (or "flag"). After those come full lines (barbs). The smallest increment is a half line. There is only, of course, ever at most 1 half line. If the magnitude is small and only needs a single half-line and no full lines or triangles, the half-line is offset from the end of the barb so that it can be easily distinguished from barbs with a single full line.
