Changing the quiver object property MaxHeadSize has no effect on the displayed quiver object.

I still find this problem, using 2016a. I am able to change the arrow head size using the test code:

q = quiver(1:10,1:10);
%Observe the figure after doing each of these
q.MaxHeadSize = 0.1;
q.MaxHeadSize = 0.01;
q.MaxHeadSize = 0.5;

but can't get it any larger than 0.5. For my data, this makes it impossible to see which direction the arrow is pointing...

Any suggestions?

Which MATLAB release are you using? This might be helpful:

I'm using R2015a.

Can you share a sample code with which you can see the issue? Which operating system are you on?

Hi Kevin,

I tried the following in MATLAB R2015a and it worked:

q = quiver(1:10,1:10);
%Observe the figure after doing each of these
q.MaxHeadSize = 0.1;
q.MaxHeadSize = 0.01;
q.MaxHeadSize = 0.5;

If you find that this example works and you are facing issues with the particular figure which you have, can you please share your code (and data) so that I can reproduce the issue at my end?

Hope this helps,

Abhiram.

Abhiram: Thanks for your answer. Yes, I see the arrowhead sizes changing in your example, but nothing changes once MaxHeadSize reaches 0.5.

I can shrink the head sizes, but can't expand them past 0.5--and that would be useful to make them more prominent in my application (please see the attached figure file). Prior to R2014b, I was able to get to the arrowheads and manipulate them directly.

Thanks, Kevin

Here's my findings... Testcode:

function tst
close all
    figure(3)
    clf;
    hold on
    for ii = 1:15
        quiver(ii/2, 0, 0, 1, 0, 'MaxHeadSize', ii/10);
    end
    for ii = 1:15
        quiver(ii/2+0.125, 0, 0, 2, 0, 'MaxHeadSize', ii/10);
    end
    for ii = 1:15
        quiver(ii/2+0.25, 0, 0, 3, 0, 'MaxHeadSize', ii/10);
    end
    figure(4)
    clf;
    hold on
    for ii = 1:15
        p = quiver(ii/2, 0, 0, 1, 0);
        set(p,'MaxHeadSize', ii/10);
    end
    for ii = 1:15
        p = quiver(ii/2+0.25, 0, 0, 2, 0);
        set(p,'MaxHeadSize', ii/10);
    end
    figure(5)
    [x,y] = meshgrid(0:0.2:2,0:0.2:2);
    u = cos(x).*y;
    v = sin(x).*y;
    subplot(1,3,1)
    quiver(x,y,u,v);
    subplot(1,3,2)
    quiver(x,y,u,v,'MaxHeadSize', 0.8);
    subplot(1,3,3)
    quiver(x,y,u,v,'MaxHeadSize', 5);
end
