ListVectorDisplacementPlot

ListVectorDisplacementPlot[{{{vx11,vy11},,{vx1n,vy1n}},,{{vxm1,vym1},,{vxmn,vymn}}}]

generates a displacement plot from an array of vector displacements {vxij,vyij}.

ListVectorDisplacementPlot[{{{x1,y1},{vx1,vy1}},,{{x1,y1},{vx1,vy1}}}]

ListVectorDisplacementPlot[{{ {{vx11,vy11},s11},,{{vx1n,vy1n},s1n}},,{ {{vxmi,vym1},sm1},,{{vxmn,vymn},smn}}}]

uses the scalar values sij to color the displaced region.

ListVectorDisplacementPlot[{ {{vx1,vy1},s1},,{{vxn,vyn},sn}}]

uses the scalar values si at point {xi,yi} to color the displaced region.

ListVectorDisplacementPlot[,reg]

plots the displacement over the region reg.
