Plotting Vector Fields in Mathematica 7

Hello,

In Mathematica 6, there seems to be no way to specify the size of the
arrow heads used by FlotVectorField. Therefore I resorted to the
following workaround:

Graphics[{
   Arrowheads[0.02],
   VectorFieldPlot[..][[1,3]] }]

but this depends on the internal structure of the graphics object
returned by VectorFieldPlot and is therefore likely to cause trouble.

Is this still required in Mathematica 7?


Best,

   -Nikolaus
