File Information
Description

Plots 3-D arrows as cones. Is similar to CONEPLOT but the inputs can have any dimension.

Syntax:
   HANDLE = VFIELF3(X,Y,Z,U,V,W,VARARGIN)

Inputs:
   X, Y, X Positions, N-D arrays
   U, V, W Field, N-D arrays
   VARARGIN:
      CData, by default the speed is used as CData
      'color', <color>, patches color (then CData is not used)
      'tr', <val>, tip length with respect to intensity or absolute length if is a string [ <value> <value as string> {0.3} ]
      'ar', <val>, arrow radius with respect to tip width/2 [0.3 ]
      'fi' <deg>, tip angle [ 20 ]
      'n', <num>, ponts used in the circunferences [ 25 ]

The screenshot shows:
r = linspace(0.5,1,2);
tt = linspace(0,2*pi,20);
[r,tt] = meshgrid(r,tt);
[x,z] = pol2cart(tt,r);
y = zeros(size(x));
u = zeros(size(x));
v = 2-r.^2; v=v./1.5;
w = zeros(size(x));
 
vfield3(x,y,z,u,v,w);
vfield3(x,y+2,z,u,v,w,'tr',1,'fi',5);
vfield3(x,y+4,z,u,v,w,'ar',1,'fi',10);

This is a great ap that I find I am using all the time now for plotting and animating vector fields. It looks great!

Nice application and great use of vectorization instead of for loops. I personalized this application for my purposes, but thanks to author for his work
