Traditionally, visualizing vectors by means of arrows in TonyPlot was a challenge, especially in the areas where the computational grid was dense. The vector arrows were plotted for every grid point, making them in many cases very hard to discern. One such example is illustrated in Figure 1.<\/p>\n
A new, improved capability:<\/b>\u00a0since April 2016 (TonyPlot version 3.10.6.R or later) a new capability has been available which gives user much more control over the number, density and size of the vector arrows being displayed in TonyPlot. Here is how you can make the\u00a0vectors\u00a0sparser for easier viewing:<\/p>\n An example of such improved display of vector arrows in TonyPlot, with the \u2018Use Linear Interpolation\u2019 option activated and the \u2018Grid\u2019 set to 20 by 20, is shown in Figure 3.<\/p>\n Viewing the Electric Field Lines Within the Depletion Region<\/strong><\/p>\n This capability is often important when analyzing impact ionization and avalanche breakdown phenomena.<\/p>\n First, for such analysis, it is often useful to display the depletion region boundaries:<\/p>\n\n
