Visualize frame field using vectors instead of boxes
The current way to visualize a frame field is to define a tensor field where the 3 branches are stored in the tensor "rows", and choose Aspect -> Tensor display -> Frame
. This plots the frames as "boxes", which are often impractical for frame field practitioners:
- frame field singularities are more difficult to spot,
- one cannot define separate colors for "anisotropic" frames,
- they are less flexible than vectors (e.g., no min size).
I added a new visualization option Aspect -> Tensor display -> Frame (vectors)
that draws the frame using the more natural "cross" representation: 6 vectors, each corresponding to a branch.
The original visualization remains and is named Frame (box)
.
