VECTOR_MAX

Widget:

• From the vector Properties Window, enter the desired value in the "Maximum value" box (see Producing a Vector Plot).

• VECTOR_MAX=value

• value: the vector Maximum Value you wish to apply to your plot.

• VECTOR_MAX=45

• IVE assumes that the Maximum Value you enter is expressed in the same physical units as the magnitudes of the vectors in your field.
• The Maximum Value scales all vectors in your field to the distance between plotted gridpoints, or scale distance. Thus, if the magnitude of a vector in your field exceeds the Maximum Value, its magnitude on the plot will appear larger than the scale distance. Conversely, if the magnitude of a vector is small compared to the Maximum Value, then its length will appear small.
