This module looks like the "hedgehogs" module. The optional port(field scalar/colormap) can be used to generate colored arrows. The color at each point on the arrow (vector field) indicates the value of another attributes(pressure,temperature...)(Show Example2). The vector type parameter controls the type of arrow. The defaults is bar(line). The cross section parameter specifies what component is used. For example, if you select the x_y button, the first and second component is used to create arrows. Parameters scale The lengths of the line segments output by this module are proportional to this value. vector type Selects the type of arrow. cross section Specifies the vector component. cone min Sets the minimum value of arrow heads. cone max Sets the maximum value of arrow heads.
