Nov 13, 2014 at 11:55 comment added Jyrki Lahtonen Thank you, Jens. I just encountered this same problem. Diagnosing what the problem may be I tried to get around it with a suitable RegionFunction. To no avail. Apparently that is applied after Mathematica has decided on a scale.

Feb 24, 2013 at 5:40 comment added Silvia Yes field strength is what I meant :P
Feb 24, 2013 at 5:39 comment added Silvia Well there will always be equi-magnitude level lines :) And in that case I would prefer StreamPlot with color-blending along stream-lines for indicating the magnitude.
Feb 24, 2013 at 5:38 comment added Jens @Silvia actually, your comment on the background coloring can always work if you make the color plot not for the potential but for the field strength instead. That's what I did here
Feb 24, 2013 at 5:31 comment added Jens @Silvia yes, but of course you can only do that if your vector field is conservative (i.e., irrotational).
Feb 24, 2013 at 5:29 comment added Silvia +1 So I always like to add an equipotential contour-line plot as the background.
