Overview of Visualization in VectorCalculus
See Student:-VectorCalculus for a general introduction to the VectorCalculus subpackage of the Student package.
The visualization commands available in the Student:-VectorCalculus package are:
Binormal
FlowLine
Flux
LineInt
PlotPositionVector
PlotVector
PrincipalNormal
RadiusOfCurvature
SpaceCurve
TangentVector
TNBFrame
VectorField
These commands produce various forms of plots which can help to facilitate understanding of the concepts of vector calculus. By default, most of the commands in this package return a mathematical expression. However, all of these commands take an option of the form output=plot, and many take an option of the form output=animation. Use of either of these options results in the corresponding plot or animation being displayed.
The colors used for the various components of the plots produced by the visualization routines can be adjusted by calling the Student:-SetColors command.
