""" Support for plotting vector fields. Presently this contains Quiver and Barb. Quiver plots an arrow in the direction of the vector, with the size of the arrow related to the magnitude of the vector. Barbs are like quiver in that they point along a vector, but the magnitude of the vector is given schematically by the presence of barbs or flags on the barb. This will also become a home for things such as standard deviation ellipses, which can and will be derived very easily from the Quiver code. """ import math import weakref import numpy as np from numpy import ma from matplotlib import cbook, docstring, font_manager import matplotlib.artist as martist import matplotlib.collections as mcollections from matplotlib.patches import CirclePolygon import matplotlib.text as mtext import matplotlib.transforms as transforms _quiver_doc = """ Plot a 2D field of arrows. Call signature:: quiver([X, Y], U, V, [C], **kw) *X*, *Y* define the arrow locations, *U*, *V* define the arrow directions, and *C* optionally sets the color. **Arrow size** The default settings auto-scales the length of the arrows to a reasonable size. To change this behavior see the *scale* and *scale_units* parameters. **Arrow shape** The defaults give a slightly swept-back arrow; to make the head a triangle, make *headaxislength* the same as *headlength*. To make the arrow more pointed, reduce *headwidth* or increase *headlength* and *headaxislength*. To make the head smaller relative to the shaft, scale down all the head parameters. You will probably do best to leave minshaft alone. **Arrow outline** *linewidths* and *edgecolors* can be used to customize the arrow outlines. Parameters ---------- X, Y : 1D or 2D array-like, optional The x and y coordinates of the arrow locations. If not given, they will be generated as a uniform integer meshgrid based on the dimensions of *U* and *V*. If *X* and *Y* are 1D but *U*, *V* are 2D, *X*, *Y* are expanded to 2D using ``X, Y = np.meshgrid(X, Y)``. In this case ``len(X)`` and ``len(Y)`` must match the column and row dimensions of *U* and *V*. U, V : 1D or 2D array-like The x and y direction components of the arrow vectors. They must have the same number of elements, matching the number of arrow locations. *U* and *V* may be masked. Only locations unmasked in *U*, *V*, and *C* will be drawn. C : 1D or 2D array-like, optional Numeric data that defines the arrow colors by colormapping via *norm* and *cmap*. This does not support explicit colors. If you want to set colors directly, use *color* instead. The size of *C* must match the number of arrow locations. units : {'width', 'height', 'dots', 'inches', 'x', 'y' 'xy'}, default: 'width' The arrow dimensions (except for *length*) are measured in multiples of this unit. The following values are supported: - 'width', 'height': The width or height of the axis. - 'dots', 'inches': Pixels or inches based on the figure dpi. - 'x', 'y', 'xy': *X*, *Y* or :math:`\\sqrt{X^2 + Y^2}` in data units. The arrows scale differently depending on the units. For 'x' or 'y', the arrows get larger as one zooms in; for other units, the arrow size is independent of the zoom state. For 'width or 'height', the arrow size increases with the width and height of the axes, respectively, when the window is resized; for 'dots' or 'inches', resizing does not change the arrows. angles : {'uv', 'xy'} or array-like, default: 'uv' Method for determining the angle of the arrows. - 'uv': The arrow axis aspect ratio is 1 so that if *U* == *V* the orientation of the arrow on the plot is 45 degrees counter-clockwise from the horizontal axis (positive to the right). Use this if the arrows symbolize a quantity that is not based on *X*, *Y* data coordinates. - 'xy': Arrows point from (x, y) to (x+u, y+v). Use this for plotting a gradient field, for example. - Alternatively, arbitrary angles may be specified explicitly as an array of values in degrees, counter-clockwise from the horizontal axis. In this case *U*, *V* is only used to determine the length of the arrows. Note: inverting a data axis will correspondingly invert the arrows only with ``angles='xy'``. scale : float, optional Number of data units per arrow length unit, e.g., m/s per plot width; a smaller scale parameter makes the arrow longer. Default is *None*. If *None*, a simple autoscaling algorithm is used, based on the average vector length and the number of vectors. The arrow length unit is given by the *scale_units* parameter. scale_units : {'width', 'height', 'dots', 'inches', 'x', 'y', 'xy'}, optional If the *scale* kwarg is *None*, the arrow length unit. Default is *None*. e.g. *scale_units* is 'inches', *scale* is 2.0, and ``(u, v) = (1, 0)``, then the vector will be 0.5 inches long. If *scale_units* is 'width' or 'height', then the vector will be half the width/height of the axes. If *scale_units* is 'x' then the vector will be 0.5 x-axis units. To plot vectors in the x-y plane, with u and v having the same units as x and y, use ``angles='xy', scale_units='xy', scale=1``. width : float, optional Shaft width in arrow units; default depends on choice of units, above, and number of vectors; a typical starting value is about 0.005 times the width of the plot. headwidth : float, default: 3 Head width as multiple of shaft width. headlength : float, default: 5 Head length as multiple of shaft width. headaxislength : float, default: 4.5 Head length at shaft intersection. minshaft : float, default: 1 Length below which arrow scales, in units of head length. Do not set this to less than 1, or small arrows will look terrible! minlength : float, default: 1 Minimum length as a multiple of shaft width; if an arrow length is less than this, plot a dot (hexagon) of this diameter instead. pivot : {'tail', 'mid', 'middle', 'tip'}, default: 'tail' The part of the arrow that is anchored to the *X*, *Y* grid. The arrow rotates about this point. 'mid' is a synonym for 'middle'. color : color or color sequence, optional Explicit color(s) for the arrows. If *C* has been set, *color* has no effect. This is a synonym for the `~.PolyCollection` *facecolor* parameter.

All arguments may be 1D or 2D. *U*, *V*, *C* may be masked arrays, but masked *X*, *Y* are not supported at present. Barbs are traditionally used in meteorology as a way to plot the speed and direction of wind observations, but can technically be used to plot any two dimensional vector quantity. As opposed to arrows, which give vector magnitude by the length of the arrow, the barbs give more quantitative information about the vector magnitude by putting slanted lines or a triangle for various increments in magnitude, as show schematically below:: : /\ \ : / \ \ : / \ \ \ : / \ \ \ : ------------------------------ The largest increment is given by a triangle (or "flag"). After those come full lines (barbs). The smallest increment is a half line. There is only, of course, ever at most 1 half line. If the magnitude is small and only needs a single half-line and no full lines or triangles, the half-line is offset from the end of the barb so that it can be easily distinguished from barbs with a single full line. The magnitude for the barb shown above would nominally be 65, using the standard increments of 50, 10, and 5. See also https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wind_barb. Parameters ---------- X, Y : 1D or 2D array-like, optional The x and y coordinates of the barb locations. See *pivot* for how the barbs are drawn to the x, y positions. If not given, they will be generated as a uniform integer meshgrid based on the dimensions of *U* and *V*. If *X* and *Y* are 1D but *U*, *V* are 2D, *X*, *Y* are expanded to 2D using ``X, Y = np.meshgrid(X, Y)``. In this case ``len(X)`` and ``len(Y)`` must match the column and row dimensions of *U* and *V*. U, V : 1D or 2D array-like The x and y components of the barb shaft. C : 1D or 2D array-like, optional Numeric data that defines the barb colors by colormapping via *norm* and *cmap*. This does not support explicit colors. If you want to set colors directly, use *barbcolor* instead. length : float, default: 7 Length of the barb in points; the other parts of the barb are scaled against this. pivot : {'tip', 'middle'} or float, default: 'tip' The part of the arrow that is anchored to the *X*, *Y* grid. The barb rotates about this point. This can also be a number, which shifts the start of the barb that many points away from grid point. barbcolor : color or color sequence The color of all parts of the barb except for the flags. This parameter is analogous to the *edgecolor* parameter for polygons, which can be used instead. However this parameter will override facecolor. flagcolor : color or color sequence The color of any flags on the barb. This parameter is analogous to the *facecolor* parameter for polygons, which can be used instead. However, this parameter will override facecolor. If this is not set (and *C* has not either) then *flagcolor* will be set to match *barbcolor* so that the barb has a uniform color. If *C* has been set, *flagcolor* has no effect. sizes : dict, optional A dictionary of coefficients specifying the ratio of a given feature to the length of the barb. Only those values one wishes to override need to be included. These features include: - 'spacing' - space between features (flags, full/half barbs) - 'height' - height (distance from shaft to top) of a flag or full barb - 'width' - width of a flag, twice the width of a full barb - 'emptybarb' - radius of the circle used for low magnitudes fill_empty : bool, default: False Whether the empty barbs (circles) that are drawn should be filled with the flag color. If they are not filled, the center is transparent. rounding : bool, default: True Whether the vector magnitude should be rounded when allocating barb components. If True, the magnitude is rounded to the nearest multiple of the half-barb increment. If False, the magnitude is simply truncated to the next lowest multiple. barb_increments : dict, optional A dictionary of increments specifying values to associate with different parts of the barb. Only those values one wishes to override need to be included. - 'half' - half barbs (Default is 5) - 'full' - full barbs (Default is 10) - 'flag' - flags (default is 50) flip_barb : bool or array-like of bool, default: False Whether the lines and flags should point opposite to normal. Normal behavior is for the barbs and lines to point right (comes from wind barbs having these features point towards low pressure in the Northern Hemisphere). A single value is applied to all barbs. Individual barbs can be flipped by passing a bool array of the same size as *U* and *V*.
