Drawing 2D and 3D Arrow Vectors

Resource Overview

A MATLAB toolkit for drawing 2D and 3D arrow vectors with direct function calls. The arrow head size is automatically determined by the minimum distance between start and end points, providing proportional visualization of vector magnitudes.

Detailed Documentation

This function enables the creation of 2D and 3D arrow vectors within MATLAB environments through direct toolkit invocation. The arrow head dimensions are algorithmically scaled based on the minimum Euclidean distance between starting and ending coordinates, ensuring proportional visualization of vector magnitudes. Implementation typically involves calculating directional components, normalizing vectors, and generating tapered arrowhead geometries using MATLAB's plotting functions. Practical applications include representing physical quantities like velocity vectors, force directions, and acceleration fields in scientific visualizations. The function supports extensive customization parameters including color schemes, line styles, and arrow proportions through optional input arguments, allowing users to tailor vector appearance to specific visualization requirements. For instance, developers can implement quiver plot enhancements or create custom vector field diagrams by integrating this function with MATLAB's graphics handling system.
