                        Vector fields in the plane can be used to analyze first-degree differential equations: 

                        Syntax

                        vector_field(List)
                        
                        vector_field(List, Identifier)
                        

                        Description

                        Given a list with the function F (a two-elements list), returns a vector field object ready to be plotted.

                        Given a list with the function F (a two-elements list) and an identifier (the first variable of the system: x following the notation above), returns a vector field object ready to be plotted.

                        Options

                        Below is a complete list of options that may be used in the vector_field function.

                        Option Description Format Default value
                        vertical_divisions Number of vertical divisions to be plotted Natural. {vertical_divisions=25} By default, the best number is selected.
                        horizontal_divisions Number of horizontal divisions to be plotted Natural. {horizontal_divisions=25} By default, the best number is selected.
