MATLAB: Is it possible to make QUIVER its own handle graphics object

enhancementMATLABobjectquiver

A vector field as generated by the QUIVER command should preferably be a graphics object similar to the surface, patch, line and image objects. Changing the x-, y- and z-components of the arrows would then be much easier using the SET command on such an object. Now one has to generate a new set of vectors in a separate figure, remove the old vectors and move the new vector field into the old figure [Assuming that one does not want to ruin the existing figure by applying the QUIVER command directly.] Other functionality of the M_VEC command of the third-party M_MAP toolbox available at http://www.ocgy.ubc.ca/~rich/, could then also be implemented.

This enhancement has been incorporated in Release 14 Service Pack 2 (R14SP2). For previous product releases, there are no workarounds.
