Arrow Surface
Use an Arrow Surface plot to visualize a vector quantity as arrows on a surface using a 2D Arrow Surface () or 3D Arrow Surface () plot. Add Color Expression, Deformation, Filter, Material Appearance, Selection (Plot Attribute), Translation, or Transparency (3D only) subnodes as needed. For example, add a Color Expression node to color the arrows with the magnitude of the vector quantity that the arrows represent. Right-click a 2D Plot Group or 3D Plot Group to add these plots.
Go to Common Results Node Settings for links to information about these sections: Data, Expression, Title, Arrow Positioning, Coloring and Style, and Inherit Style. For a settings specific to Arrow Surface plots in the Expression section, see below.
Expression
In addition to the expressions for the components of the vector to plot using arrows, and a description for that vector, this section contains an additional setting:
From the Components to plot list, choose All (the default), Normal, or Tangential to plot the full vector or only its normal or tangential components relative to the selected surfaces.
