Create colored vector field with unit vectors that are colored by magnitude.

Hi, is anyone aware of a simple way to create a 2D vector field where all the vectors are the same size (restricted to unit vectors due to the large magnitude range) and where each vector is colored according to its magnitude?

I've found one method using the ncquiverref() function on the exchange, but it requires the mapping toolkit, which I don't have.

Does anyone know of any alternative methods?

I suspect ncquiverref can be modified somewhat easily to remove Mapping Toolbox dependency. That function is well documented, so identifying map-related lines of code should not be difficult. Give hacking ncquiverref a try.
