===Vector Display Options===
There are numerous option for controlling the size, shape and density of the vectors displayed. This page gives only a brief introduction, users are encouraged to experiment!<br>
To open the vector options, navigate to the Display Options, select the 2D Mesh in the left hand pane, and then select the Vectors tab, as shown in the image below.

In this dialogue you can control:
*If the vectors are shown at each cell corner (Display: at each node) or on a regular grid (Display: on a grid).
*Vertical offset (Z offset)<br>
:'''Tip''' a value of greater than 0 ensures the vectors appear on top of the contours.
*The data range (use this to restrict values)
*Arrow size, this can be fixed length or scale length to magnitude<br>
:'''Tip''' scale length to magnitude is recommended for most result viewing
*Line width
*Colour
*Arrow head
The image below shows velocity vector results displayed with scalar depth results for module 1 of the tutorial model.

<br>
The magnitude for vector results are also available to view as a scalar dataset. Vector results can be converted into scalar results (either Magnitude and direction or X component and Y component). To do this right click on the vector data set in the project window and select '''Vector to Scalar''' (as per the image below).
