VECTOR_INTERVAL

This command specifies the number of grid points that will be plotted in your vector plot.

Widget:

From the Vector Properties Window, vary the number of vectors in each coordinate direction by varying the slider bars labeled "Start every...". The value of the slider bar is the specified vector interval.

Command:

VECTOR_INTERVAL=horizontal_int, vertical_int

Arguments:

horizontal_int: The horizontal interval between plotted grid points
vertical_int: The vertical interval between plotted grid points Examples:
- VECTOR_INTERVAL=10,5
  Plots a vector at every tenth grid point horizontally and every fifth grid point vertically.
- VECTOR_INTERVAL=0.5,2
  Plots a vector at twice the grid spacing horizontally and every second grid point vertically.
Notes:
- For additional instructions, refer to Producing a Vector Plot.
