Description

Hey all,

So I was using Cone plots to visualize a 3D vector field in my application, and I found that the Cone-size AND Cone-color are both a function of the norm of the u/v/w vector. It would be useful to 'decouple' this since you can scale the vector with the norm and color it according to another scalar array or vice-versa.

Research direction

The issue concerns Cone plots and their u/v/w vector components, but names no files or tests. Start by locating the Cone trace entry point and existing Cone tests, then verify how vector norm currently controls size and color. Done means size can use the vector norm while color accepts an independent scalar array, or the reverse.
