I would like to Plot a simple Vector Field, all vectors normalized to one. If i for example take a evenly distributed sample of the field and plot it with the ListVectorPlot function, i get a plot where position and length of the vectors differs (strongly) from the data:
enter image description here 

field={{{{2, 0.}, {1., 0.}}, {{2, 0.1}, {0.982017, 0.188795}}, {{2, 
0.2}, {0.951929, 0.306318}}, {{2, 0.3}, {0.917796, 
0.397053}}, {{2, 0.4}, {0.8818, 0.471624}}, {{2, 0.5}, {0.845307, 
0.534281}}}, {{{3, 0.}, {1., 0.}}, {{3, 0.1}, {0.976522, 
0.21542}}, {{3, 0.2}, {0.960011, 0.279961}}, {{3, 0.3}, {0.942248,
 0.334916}}, {{3, 0.4}, {0.923184, 0.384358}}, {{3, 
0.5}, {0.903192, 0.429238}}}, {{{4, 0.}, {-1., 0.}}, {{4, 
0.1}, {0.889109, 0.457696}}, {{4, 0.2}, {0.950692, 
0.310138}}, {{4, 0.3}, {0.947352, 0.320194}}, {{4, 
0.4}, {0.938342, 0.345709}}, {{4, 0.5}, {0.92731, 
0.374295}}}, {{{5, 0.}, {-1., 0.}}, {{5, 0.1}, {-0.923402, 
0.383834}}, {{5, 0.2}, {0.902614, 0.43045}}, {{5, 0.3}, {0.941445,
 0.337166}}, {{5, 0.4}, {0.943004, 0.332782}}, {{5, 
0.5}, {0.938529, 0.3452}}}, {{{6, 0.}, {-1., 0.}}, {{6, 
0.1}, {-0.992932, 0.118681}}, {{6, 0.2}, {0.508632, 
0.860984}}, {{6, 0.3}, {0.920174, 0.39151}}, {{6, 0.4}, {0.941035,
 0.338309}}, {{6, 0.5}, {0.943283, 0.33199}}}, {{{7, 0.}, {-1., 
0.}}, {{7, 0.1}, {-0.998006, 0.0631237}}, {{7, 0.2}, {-0.81308, 
0.582152}}, {{7, 0.3}, {0.856928, 0.515436}}, {{7, 
0.4}, {0.932176, 0.362005}}, {{7, 0.5}, {0.943793, 
0.330536}}}, {{{8, 0.}, {-1., 0.}}, {{8, 0.1}, {-0.999176, 
0.0405798}}, {{8, 0.2}, {-0.967365, 0.253388}}, {{8, 
0.3}, {0.60162, 0.798783}}, {{8, 0.4}, {0.912304, 0.409513}}, {{8,
 0.5}, {0.940548, 0.339661}}}}; 
ListVectorPlot[field, VectorPoints -> All]

Why is that?

Your vectors are normalized, but your PlotRange is not. If you rescale your plot you can see this:

ListVectorPlot[field, VectorPoints -> All, AspectRatio -> 1/10, ImageSize -> 700]

  • $\begingroup$ Apparently i lack the reputation to do so, im sorry. But thank you for the answer anyways! $\endgroup$ – Peter Jan 15 '15 at 14:46
  • $\begingroup$ Adding the option VectorScale -> Small makes this look less cluttered. $\endgroup$ – Bob Hanlon Jan 15 '15 at 14:53
  • $\begingroup$ AspectRatio -> Automatic will draw the plot with the same aspect ratio as the data. $\endgroup$ – Rahul Jan 15 '15 at 17:08
  • $\begingroup$ Thanks, using all that i got some pretty neat plots now! $\endgroup$ – Peter Jan 16 '15 at 13:27
