VectorRange
✖
VectorRange
is an option for VectorPlot and related functions that specifies the range of vector magnitudes to include in a plot.
Details

- The following settings can be given for VectorRange:
-
Automatic automatically determine the vectors to include All include all vectors {min,max} include vectors whose magnitudes are between min and max - With the Automatic setting, the distribution of vector magnitudes is found, and any vectors sufficiently far out in the distribution are clipped.
- The appearance of clipped vectors depends on ClippingStyle.

The range of vector magnitudes shown is automatically chosen:

Omit vectors with magnitudes outside the computed range:

Scope (4)Survey of the scope of standard use cases
Specify the range of vector norms to be plotted:

The vectors only change style between the circles where the norms are in the specified range:

Remove the vectors outside of the vector range:

Specify a color to use for out-of-range vectors:

Use red for vectors that are too small and black for those that are too large:
