带有 Pyplot 的斜率场指向错误的方向

如果dy/dx = x/y，那么粗略地说，Δy/Δx = x/y， 并且向量(x, y)从(x, y)到(x+Δx, y+Δy)。

如果我们采取Δx = 1，那么Δy = x/y * Δx = x/y。所以代替

delta_x = x_points + 1
delta_y = a(x_points,y_points)

我们应该使用

delta_x = np.ones_like(X)   #<-- all ones
delta_y = a(X, Y)

import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import sympy as sym
x, y = sym.symbols('x, y')

def main(rng, function):
    a = sym.lambdify((x, y), function)  # function a is the differential#
    num_points = 11
    X, Y = np.meshgrid(np.linspace(rng[0], rng[1], num_points),
                       np.linspace(rng[0], rng[1], num_points))

    delta_x = np.ones_like(X)
    delta_y = a(X, Y)
    length = np.sqrt(delta_x**2 + delta_y**2)
    delta_x, delta_y = delta_x/length, delta_y/length
    ax = plt.subplot()
    ax.set_title(r'$\mathit{f(x)}\in \mathbb{R}^2$')
    ax.set_xlabel(r'$\mathit{x}$')
    ax.set_ylabel(r'$\mathit{y}$')
    ax.grid()
    ax.spines['left'].set_position('zero')
    ax.spines['right'].set_color('none')
    ax.spines['bottom'].set_position('zero')
    ax.spines['top'].set_color('none')
    ax.spines['left'].set_smart_bounds(True)
    ax.spines['bottom'].set_smart_bounds(True)
    ax.set_aspect(1. / ax.get_data_ratio())
    ax.xaxis.set_ticks_position('bottom')
    ax.yaxis.set_ticks_position('left')
    ax.quiver(X, Y, delta_x, delta_y,
               pivot='mid',
               scale_units='xy', angles='xy', scale=1
               )
    plt.show()

def get_inputs():
    # separate user input from calculation, so main can be called non-interactively
    rng = input('Minimum, Maximum: ').split(',')
    rng = [float(rng[i]) for i in range(2)]
    function = eval(input('Differential Equation in terms of x and y: '))
    return rng, function

if __name__ == '__main__':
    # rng, function = get_inputs()
    # main(rng, function)
    main(rng=[-10, 10], function=x / y)

请注意，您可以轻松地将Δx其设为较小的值。例如，

delta_x = np.ones_like(X) * 0.1
delta_y = a(X, Y) * delta_x

但标准化后的结果将完全相同：

length = np.sqrt(delta_x**2 + delta_y**2)
delta_x, delta_y = delta_x/length, delta_y/length
