How to increase the length and thickness of the arrows in the EHfields plot

Hi, I am plotting the E and H field vector on a plane using EHfields(name,freq). The size and thickness of the arrows drawn inside the plot is too small and cannot be seen properly. How do I increase the size and thickness of these arrows.

Attaching a screenshot for your reference.

Hello

Changing the thickness is not too difficult, but changing the length may be rather complicated. Let me illustrate. You can generate your plot, say I do this

h = spiralArchimedean;
EHfields(h,4e9)

Then, you can grab the handles of your plot

h1=gca;

h1 is the handles of the fields and should have among many other fields, one called children, which will have 2 quivers, grab that again

h2=h1.Children;
>> h2
h2 = 
2×1 Quiver array:
Quiver    (H)
Quiver    (E)
>> h2(1)
ans = 
Quiver (H) with properties:
Color: [0.8500 0.3250 0.0980]
LineStyle: '-'
LineWidth: 0.5000
XData: [0 -0.0163 -0.0321 -0.0472 -0.0611 -0.0736 -0.0842 … ]
YData: [0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 -0.0050 … ]
ZData: [-0.1040 -0.1027 -0.0989 -0.0927 -0.0842 -0.0736 … ]
UData: [0.0126 0.0122 0.0113 0.0098 0.0080 0.0062 0.0044 … ]
VData: [0.0123 0.0121 0.0114 0.0103 0.0089 0.0073 0.0057 … ]
WData: [2.6980e-09 -0.0020 -0.0037 -0.0051 -0.0060 -0.0065 … ]

Show all properties

So you can directly modify the linewidth or the marker size

>> h2(1).LineWidth=2;

But to change the length, you would have to change the actual coordinates from where it starts and where it finishes. That will not be that easy. Hope this helps!

Thanks I got that.

Ignore my previous comment.

Thanks Constantino.

No problem!

There is a way of increasing the length(size) of the arrow vectors by using the following code.

EHfields(arr,2.4e9,ScaleFields=[2 2]);

This above code scales up the length of the arrows by 2 times.

Thank You.
