Plotting quiver decorated

An example showing quiver with decorations.

import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

n = 8
X, Y = np.mgrid[0:n, 0:n]
T = np.arctan2(Y - n/ 2., X - n / 2.)
R = 10 + np.sqrt((Y - n / 2.) ** 2 + (X - n / 2.) ** 2)
U, V = R * np.cos(T), R * np.sin(T)

plt.quiver(X, Y, U, V, R, alpha=.5)
plt.quiver(X, Y, U, V, edgecolor='k', facecolor='None', linewidth=.5)

plt.xlim(-1, n)
plt.xticks(())
plt.ylim(-1, n)
plt.yticks(())


# Add a title and a box around it
