Vector display

This display object is responsible for visualizing vector quantities that are associated with particles. The Displacement vectors modifier, for example, calculates the displacement vector of each particle. The modifier creates a vector display object to render the displacements as arrows.

Parameters

Shading mode

Switches between a three-dimensional (normal shading) and a two-dimensional representation (flat shading) of arrows.

Scaling factor

Vectors are scaled by this factor for display. The default is 1.

Arrow width

The diameter of arrow lines.

Alignment

Controls how arrows are positioned relative to the particles.

Arrow color

The display color of arrows. The current program version supports only uniform coloring.

Reverse direction

Flips arrows to reverse their directions.
