Vectorial Chart Node

The Vectorial Chart Node visualizes vector fields, such as wind or flow data, using a [x, y, z] dataset. It provides a clear representation of direction and magnitude across a spatial domain.

Overview​

This node requires the user to select columns representing the vector components (X, Y, Z axes). Each vector is displayed with its direction and magnitude based on the dataset.

Key Features​

  • Vector field visualization: Display directional data across a spatial domain.
  • 3D support: Handles three-dimensional vector fields.
  • Customizable scaling: Adjust vector lengths for better visualization.
  • Dashboard ready: Integrates with dashboards for interactive exploration.

Required Data​

  • xColumn: The X-axis component of the vector.
  • yColumn: The Y-axis component of the vector.
  • zColumn (optional): The Z-axis component of the vector.
  • scaling, colorMapping, arrowStyle, gridOverlay, logScale: Additional display options.

How it works​

  1. Add the Vectorial Chart Node to your workflow.
  2. Connect your dataset.
  3. Select the vector component columns (X, Y, Z).
  4. Configure display options as needed.
  5. The node renders a vector field chart.

Use Cases​

  • Wind patterns: Visualize wind direction and magnitude across a region.
  • Fluid dynamics: Represent flow data in simulations.
  • Magnetic fields: Display vector fields in physics experiments.

Benefits​

  • Clear representation of vector fields.
  • Flexible configuration for scaling and styling.
  • Handles complex datasets efficiently.
