matplotlib.quiver#

Support for plotting vector fields.

Presently this contains Quiver and Barb. Quiver plots an arrow in thedirection of the vector, with the size of the arrow related to themagnitude of the vector.

Barbs are like quiver in that they point along a vector, butthe magnitude of the vector is given schematically by the presence of barbsor flags on the barb.

This will also become a home for things such as standarddeviation ellipses, which can and will be derived very easily fromthe Quiver code.
