How to change width of quiver plot instead of length=

Hello,

The normal quiver plot with matlab will modify the arrow length according to the data.

Is it possible to have the same arrow size for all data points, and have the line width of the arrow changed depending on the data?

So small vectors are thinner and large vectors are more "bold".

Thank you for your help!

You can turn off the scaling (from the documentation):

• quiver(...,scale) automatically scales the arrows to fit within the grid and then stretches them by the factor scale. scale = 2 doubles their relative length, and scale = 0.5 halves the length. Use scale = 0 to plot the velocity vectors without automatic scaling

However, if you want different line widths for different values, you would have to program that yourself. See the documentation on Quiver Properties (link) for details.
