Vector charts are ideal for visualizing vector fields. Examples include electric or magnetic field, wind strength and direction, fluid flow, etc.

In ChartDirector, a vector chart is implemented as a vector layer. This example shows a vector layer in an XY chart.

This example shows a vector layer in a polar chart.

In addition to visualizing vector fields, vector layers are often used to show relationships among data points.

This chart is created by using a vector layer and a scatter layer.
