                      Vector fields in the plane can be used to analyze first-degree differential equations: 

                      Syntax

                      vector_field(List)
                      
                      vector_field(List, Identifier)
                      

                      Description

                      Given a list with the function F (a two-elements list), returns a vector field object ready to be plotted.

                      Given a list with the function F (a two-elements list) and an identifier (the first variable of the system: x following the notation above), returns a vector field object ready to be plotted.

                      Options

                      Below is a complete list of options that may be used in the vector_field function.

                      Option Description Format Default value
                      vertical_divisions Number of vertical divisions to be plotted Natural. {vertical_divisions=25} By default, the best number is selected.
                      horizontal_divisions Number of horizontal divisions to be plotted Natural. {horizontal_divisions=25} By default, the best number is selected.
