Plot the electric field distribution ?

how Plot the electric field distribution above the contour ?
% Plot the electric field distribution
figure;
v_now;
[ex,ey]=gradient(v);
quiver(-ex,-ey); %Quiver command creates a plot, E=-grad(V), hence the negative sign
title('potential ')
how put contour in the same figure of electric field distribution?

Use hold all before or after the first plot command:
quiver(...) % replace the dots with your data
hold all;
contour(...)

thanks Mischa Kim
electric field distribution appear in the figure as dot not as Arrow or appear small Arrow ,what I must do to make this Arrow appear large
Mary, use the scale parameter:
scale = 2; % double length of vectors
quiver(-ex,-ey,scale)
Thanks Mischa
the figure appear exactly as I want it
can I making these Arrows of electric field distribution as continuous lines instead of Arrows intersect the contour? How can do that?
