In Mathematica 10 on two different Windows machines, VectorPlot[{1, 1}, {x, -1, 1}, {y, -1, 1}, VectorStyle -> "Segment"] works just fine, but VectorPlot[{1, 1}, {x, -1, 1}, {y, -1, 1}, VectorStyle -> Directive["Segment"]] or anything more complicated seems to ignore the named setting for VectorStyle.

Thinking it was an issue with named settings only, I tried VectorPlot[{1, 1}, {x, -1, 1}, {y, -1, 1}, VectorStyle -> Directive[Arrowheads[0]] which doesn't work even though it works without the Directive. For the record, Directive works just fine in other contexts, like VectorPlot[{1, 1}, {x, -1, 1}, {y, -1, 1}, VectorStyle -> Arrowheads[0], FrameStyle -> Directive[16]]

  1. Is this a bug?
  2. How can I get around this to get black segments in my VectorPlot?

  • $\begingroup$ I confirm that VectorStyle -> Directive[Arrowheads[0]] doesn't work. On Mathematica 10.0.2 for Mac here. $\endgroup$

How can I get ... black segments in my VectorPlot?

VectorPlot[{1, 1}, {x, -1, 1}, {y, -1, 1},  VectorStyle -> {{Black, "Segment"}}]
