ListVectorPlot not able to plot less vectors...

Dear All,

I have some data (http://shuisman.com/tmp/FullField.wdx) representing vectors in a grid. 
Plotting with ListVectorPlot works nicely:
ListVectorPlot[full, VectorPoints -> All]


Because there are a lot of {0.,0.} vectors, I decided to delete them:
reduced=DeleteCases[full, {{_, _}, {0., 0.}}]
But now when I try to plot:
ListVectorPlot[reduced, VectorPoints -> All]
It takes forever and crashes. Also when I don't include the VectorPoints -> All. The reduced field can be downloaded here: http://shuisman.com/tmp/ReducedField.wdx
Or can recreated with above command. I need all the vectors that I supplied, I don't need (and want) interpolated vectors, just the vectors I supplied.

Any idea what causes Mathematica to take forever and crash finally?

Mathematica version 9.0.1.0 on Mac OSX on Apple Retina Notebook with 16GB ram, everything up to date.

Dear Kurt,

Thanks for making a minimum version that shows the same unexpected behavior. What the exact issue is I don't know. Maybe it tries to triangulize the points (by default a nice n*m grid of vectors is shown). Maybe the triangulation fails somehow? I really have no idea. If there is any update to this issue or workaround, could you update that here?

I made my own code like the one of Jacques. That also supports colorfunction and things alike...

Thanks in advance,

Regards,

Sander

Hello Sander

Yes i have the same problem. However, you can visualize your data using Graphics :
Graphics[{Arrowheads[0.01 Norm[#2]], Hue[0.5 Norm[#2]],
    Arrow[{#1, (#1 + 0.01 #2)}]} & @@@ reduced, AspectRatio -> 1,
Frame -> True, PlotRange -> All]
Hello Sander:

I reduced your issue down to what is hopefully the same issue that uses only the following seven points.  
This crashes the kernel in Windows 9.0.1:

ListVectorPlot[{{{0.370313,
    0.214531}, {-0.0955305, -0.0186209}}, {{0.164063,
    0.240781}, {0.573424, -0.00137298}}, {{0.242188,
    0.201406}, {-0.773653, -0.000402318}}, {{0.214063,
    0.222031}, {-0.0126868, -0.00317579}}, {{0.129688,
    0.256719}, {1.47251, -0.00696257}}, {{0.195313,
    0.227656}, {0.0829226, 0.0108867}}, {{0.0171875,
    0.245469}, {0.707327, -0.00945836}}}, VectorPoints -> All]

However, taking any sample of 6 of these 7 points does not result in a crash when plotted.

I will see that this is reported to the appropriate developer.
