MATLAB: When is Matlab going to offer a colored chart

colorfeatureMATLABquiver

With the standard quiver chart offered in matlab (as of 2020a) its is not possible to map a color to each vector based on some input property and a colormap. In matplotlib it is possible to create beautiful colored quiver plots without much more computational cost. At present I have to save all my data from matlab just to visualize in Python which makes sharing my code more complicated. My question is whether there is a new quiver version on the horizon which has the ability to specify a color property which links to a colormap (similar to Matplotlibs implementation). There are hacks in the File Exchange (see this the links provided in this answer) but as they mention – these may not be supported in later versions of matlab – I think this is some basic functionality that is sorely missing.

Rik is correct that we generally do not discuss whether or not we're working on a particular piece of functionality without an NDA.
If you want to request that the quiver function be enhanced to allow different arrows in the plot to be displayed in different colors, along the lines of what scatter allows for points, that seems like a reasonable enhancement request to send to Technical Support using the telephone icon in the upper-right corner of this page.
