how to limit arrow length in 3D quiver plot?

I have a vector field with a large dynamic range; I would like to set a high threshold on vector magnitudes being displayed.
logarithmic scale would also help.

here is what works:
Ln = sqrt(U.^2 + V.^2 +W.^2);
Maxlen=100;
U(Ln>Maxlen)=U(Ln>Maxlen)./Ln(Ln>Maxlen).*Maxlen;
V(Ln>Maxlen)=V(Ln>Maxlen)./Ln(Ln>Maxlen).*Maxlen;
W(Ln>Maxlen)=W(Ln>Maxlen)./Ln(Ln>Maxlen).*Maxlen;
quiver3(X,Y,Z,U,V,W)

For your situation, I would specify the length of the arrows directly, rather than letting Matlab perform the Auto-scaling of the vectors. This would allow you to specify upper bounds on the lengths, log scaling, or whatever else you prefer. Something like this:
% X,Y,Z are the origins of your vectors
% U,V,W are the directions of your vectors
Ln = sqrt(U.^2 + V.^2 +W.^2);
U = U./Ln; V = V./Ln; W = W./Ln; %normalize vectors
Maxlen = 100; %set this based on your preference
U = U*Maxlen; %this will set 'Maxlen' as the max length
V = V*Maxlen;
W = W*Maxlen;
%or for log scaling,
U = Maxlen*log(U); %or similar
V = Maxlen*log(V);
U =
hq = quiver3( X, Y, Z,

wouldn't this set all vectors to the same length?
Ah, yes it would. My apologies. You should normalize by the maximum of Ln, rather than Ln itself.

Couldn't you just takle the log or log10 f the u/v/w components?
2-d example:
[xx yy] = meshgrid(1:5);
u = (rand(5)+1).^(rand(5)*10);
v = (rand(5)+1).^(rand(5)*10);
quiver(xx(:),yy(:),log10(u(:)),log10(v(:)))
More per comments Let's not give up on this yet!
[xx yy] = meshgrid(1:5);
u = (rand(5)+1).^(rand(5)*10)*sign(randn(5));
v = (rand(5)+1).^(rand(5)*10)*sign(randn(5));
quiver(xx(:),yy(:),sign(u(:)).*log10(abs(u(:))),sign(u(:)).*log10(abs(v(:))))
