ABSTRACT:
A method for visualizing vector fields uses texture mapping for the vectors to create an animated vector field. Vectors are textured with one dimensional texture maps composed of alternating visible and invisible segments. Successively applied texture maps differ from each other in order to create a moving line effect on the vectors being visualized. A fading effect is further provided by varying the intensity of the visible segments.
