champ1 - 2D vector field plot with colored arrows

champ1(x,y,fx,fy,[arfact,rect,strf])

x,y : two vectors which define the grid.
fx : a matrix which describes the x component of the vector field. fx(i,j) is the x component of the vector field at point (x(i),y(j)).
fy : a matrix which describes the y component of the vector field. fy(i,j) is the y component of the vector field at point (x(i),y(j)).
arfact : an optional argument of type real which gives a scale factor for the display of the arrow heads on the plot (default value is 1.0).
rect : a vector rect=[xmin,ymin,xmax,ymax] which gives the boundaries of the graphics frame to use.
frameflag : controls the computation of the actual coordinate ranges from the minimal requested values. The associated value should be an integer ranging from 0 to 8.
axesflag : specifies how the axes are drawn. The associated value should be an integer ranging from 0 to 5.
strf : a string of length 3 "xyz" which has the same meaning as the strf parameter of plot2d. The first character x has no effect with champ1.

champ1 draws a 2D vector field with colored arrows. The color of the arrows depends on the intensity of the field.

If you want arrows proportional to the intensity of the field, use champ.
