I wish to do plot a vector field plot of an implicit solution.
Equations :
(*V[x] is a polynomial function defined earlier *)
e[x_, v_] := 1/2 v^2 + V[x];
t3 = Table[e[x, v] == e1, {e1, 0, 1, 0.2}];
ImplicitPlot[Evaluate[t3], {x, \(-2\), 2}];
This plots a nice implicit plot for various values of e1. What I wish to do is to attach a
"sense" to the contours (an arrow that describes the direction of the orbit).
However, I am at a loss as to how to do it with PlotVectorField.
Any help would be appreciated.
PS : Is there a way in which I can "automate" the labelling of the curves with the values
of e1 they are plotted for (something better than manually editing the labels to the plot
each time I change the range of e1) ?
