.help velvect Sep85 plot .ih NAME velvect -- two dimensional velocity field plot .ih USAGE velvect uimage vimage .ih PARAMETERS .ls uimage Name of image containing u components of the velocity field. .le .ls vimage Name of image containing v components of the velocity field. .le .ls device = stdgraph Output device for plot. .le .ls title = "imtitle" Title to be centered over the plot. By default, it will be the title from the image header of the \fBuimage\fR. .le .ls append = no Append to an old plot? .le .ls verbose = yes Print warning messages? .le .ih DESCRIPTION Task \fIvelvect\fR draws a representation of a two-dimensional velocity field by drawing arrows from each data location. The length of the arrow is proportional to the strength of the field at that location and the direction of the arrow indicates the direction of the flow at that location. The two images \fIuimage\fR and \fIvimage\fR contain the velocity field to be plotted. The vector at the point (i,j) has: .nf magnitude = sqrt (uimage(i,j)**2 + vimage(i,j)**2) direction = atan2 (vimage(i,j), uimage(i,j)) .fi .ih EXAMPLES 1. Make a vector plot from the two images "crab.blue" and "crab.red". cl> velvect crab.blue crab.red .endhelp
