Element Detail
Slopefield
This element has no direct constructor. To create an instance of this element you have to call JXG.Board#create with type "slopefield".

Possible parent array combinations are:
{Function|String} F

Function f(x, y) returning a number.


{Array} xData

Array of length 3 containing start value for x, number of steps, end value of x. The slope field will contain (number of steps) + 1 vectors in direction of x.


{Array} yData

Array of length 3 containing start value for y, number of steps, end value of y. The slope field will contain (number of steps) + 1 vectors in direction of y.


Throws:
{Error}
If the element cannot be constructed with the given parent objects an exception is thrown. Parameter options:
Examples:
var field = board.create('slopefield', [
    (x, y) => x * x - x - 2,
    [-6, 25, 6], // Horizontal mesh
    [-5, 20, 5]  // Vertical mesh
]);



				
				
// Slider to control length of vectors
var s = board.create('slider', [[-3, 7], [3, 7], [0, 0.33, 1]], {name: 'length'});
// Slider to control number of steps
var stepsize = board.create('slider', [[-3, 6], [3, 6], [1, 20, 100]], {name: 'steps', snapWidth: 1});

var field = board.create('slopefield', [
    (x, y) => x * x - y * y,
    [-6, () => stepsize.Value(), 6],
    [-5, () => stepsize.Value(), 5]],
    {
        strokeWidth: 1.5,
        highlightStrokeWidth: 0.5,
        highlightStrokeColor: JXG.palette.blue,

        scale: () => s.Value(),

        arrowHead: {
            enabled: false,
            size: 8,
            angle: Math.PI / 16
        }
    });

					arrowhead

					

					

						Customize arrow heads of vectors. Be careful! If enabled this will slow down the performance.
Fields are:

						
							

							Defined in:  options.js.
						
						
					


					

						
						
						
						
							

							
Default Value:

							

								{enabled: false, size: 5, angle: Math.PI * 0.125}
							

							

						

					

				
					 
					


					
					scale

					

					

						Set length of the vectors in user coordinates. This in contrast to vector fields, where this attribute just scales the vector.
						
							

							Defined in:  options.js.
						
						
					


					

						
						
						
							

							
See:

							
							
Vectorfield.scale

							
							

						
						
							

							
Default Value:

							

								1
