Basic Examples

In[]:=
Plot the vector
(1,1,1)
located at the origin:
[◼]
PlotVector3D
[{{1,1,1}}]
In[]:=
Out[]=
Plot a list of vectors located at the origin:
[◼]
PlotVector3D
[{{1,1,1},{2,2,-1}}]
In[]:=
Out[]=

Scope

Plot the vector
(2,2,2)
located at the point
(-1,1,1)
:
[◼]
PlotVector3D
[{{2,2,2}},{-1,1,1}]
In[]:=
Out[]=
Plot a list of vectors located at the point
{1,2,2}
:
[◼]
PlotVector3D
[{{1,1,2},{2,-1,2}},{1,2,2}]
In[]:=
Out[]=
Plot a list of vectors located at different points. The first list is a list of vectors and the second is a list of initial points:
The length of the list of vectors must be the same as the length of the list of initial points:

Options

In[]:=

ArrowSize

In[]:=
Change the arrow size of each vector:

LocatedVector

In[]:=
A located vector from the first point to the second point:
Setting located vector to False draws the vector located at the origin:
A list of lists of pairs of vectors with the option “LocatedVector”->True draws located vectors from the first point in each sublist to the second point in each sublist:
Without the option being set, the second tuple in each list gives the located point, and the first tuple gives the direction:

VectorStyle

In[]:=
Change the style of the vectors:
Set both the arrow size and style for each vector:

Properties and Relations

We can specify a vector located at a point using the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th templates:
Use Arrow to produce any of these plots:
