ggvfields: Vector Field Visualization in R
Derek Turner, Rodney X. Sturdivant, David J. Kahle · The R Journal · 2026
The ggvfields R package extends the functionality of ggplot2 by enabling more intuitive and effective visualizations of 2D vector fields. It introduces several new geoms designed to simplify traditional and cumbersome methods for visualizing vector fields and related objects in R in a principled way. These geoms improve upon existing tools by offering a more aesthetically pleasing and mathematically rigorous way to represent vector fields.
