                    Vector field

                    Reading time: 1min

                    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.
