2D/3D Plot:
Properties 
SpecialsScaling frame
Here you can change the maximum to which the plot is scaled.
If you choose a maximum smaller than the field maximum, the field values greater than your chosen maximum are clamped (plotted as if they were equal to the chosen maximum). If you choose to only clamp the size, you will get arrows of maximum size with different colors depending on the field value.
If you choose a maximum greater than the field maximum, size and/or color are scaled down, as if the field maximum were the chosen maximum.
Surface vectors frame
Vector offset: Here you may enter an offset for surface vectors. They will be offset in normal direction to improve their visibility. Offsets from -2 to 2 are allowed. Negative offset will move the vector to the other side of the surface.
Check vector collision: For strongly curved surfaces, high vector densities may occur. Check here to prevent vectors from being plotted into other vectors. The collision check may take some time, therefore it is switched off by default. Note: Only available with hexahedral meshes.
Distribution of arrows frame
Equidistant: The arrows are plotted with fixed distance.
Optimize: The distance between adjacent arrows is optimized according to the field strength. Note: This option is only available with hexahedral meshes.
Adaptive: The arrow distribution is calculated according to the perspective. The chosen amount of arrows will always be visible in the viewing window (and none outside) and thus adapt to camera movement (zoom, translation, rotation). Note: Since the calculation of adaptive arrows may take a moment, the calculation progress will be displayed on top of the screen.
Optimized Adaptive: The arrow distribution is calculated according to the field strength and the perspective. Note: This option is only available with hexahedral meshes.
Freeze volume: This option prevents the continuous calculation of adaptive arrows. The arrow distribution at the moment of the 'freezing' is displayed, regardless of the camera movement.
Integral Equation Solver
Note: The following options are only available for the Integral Equation Solver
Draw in Volume: Use this to switch between volume and surface plot for I-Solver fields. By default fields are plotted on the surfaces. Please note that the fields value for volume needs some time to be calculated. If sampling is too coarse compared to the wavelength the field amplitude is visualized as bubble plot, else phased arrows are plotted. It is possible to define a subvolume to be plotted.
Bubble off: if this is active the field is always visualized as arrow plot.
Max. number of arrows frame
Defines a maximum number of arrows that will be visualized when setting the Sparse/Dense slider from 3D Vector Plot Dialog to maximum density.
