This vector field visualization populates the domain with points on a uniform grid and then moves them through the field in the direction and speed indicated by the vector field at each point. Each point moves along a short path in the field and then starts over at its original position and repeats. Collectively, this action gives a good idea of the flow of the vector field. The dimensions of this canvas are $[-2,2]\times[-2,2]$.


Adjust Field: enter expression in $x$ and $y$ only, recognizes the usual functions, will crash if you enter incorrect syntax, click update button to use new field
$\mathbf{F}(x,y) = \langle$ , $\rangle$

Adjust Speed: slider will adjust the speed of the animation, even reverse it if you move left
