Vector Shape
The Vector shape displays arrows with direction and magnitude controlled by expressions, ideal for representing forces, velocities, and other vector quantities.

Overview
A Vector shape renders an arrow from a start point in a given direction with a given magnitude. Both the direction angle and the length can be bound to expression terms. Vectors are essential for physics models that involve forces, velocity, acceleration, or any directional quantity.
