: How to make a nice vector field with inkscape I would like to create a "vector field" that emerges from nothing. That is I would like the size of the vectors to be large in some small region,

I would like to create a "vector field" that emerges from nothing. That is I would like the size of the vectors to be large in some small region, and getting smaller to nothing near the boundary of that region.

I have managed to imitate the effect vaguely by just drawing lots of arrows like so

but this takes ages and the end result is not nice anyway. I was thinking there may be a way to make this effect by creating a grid of arrows and then distorting it in an Escher-esque, hyperbolic manner en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circle_Limit_III#/media/File:Hyperbolic_domains_642.png
but I haven't found a way to do this anywhere.

Would be very grateful for any help!

Many Thanks,
Adam.

Within inkscape, the most likely process would be:

draw object
clone/duplicate/cut-and-paste/arrange into whatever patter you want
group them all (or union)
use the envelope distort feature to accomplish the 'field' effect.

Here's a video that explains that particular feature:
