=======================================
Advanced quiver and quiverkey functions
=======================================
Demonstrates some more advanced options for `~.axes.Axes.quiver`. For a simple
example refer to :doc:`/gallery/images_contours_and_fields/quiver_simple_demo`.
Note: The plot autoscaling does not take into account the arrows, so
those on the boundaries may reach out of the picture. This is not an easy
problem to solve in a perfectly general way. The recommended workaround is to
manually set the Axes limits in such a case.
