Right - never heard about affine scaling.
Somewhat confusingly, it seems like the quiver3d cylinders do scale
linearly (reflected by them not having a 'scale radius by absolute
scalar' option)? I actually required a minimum radius ('offset'?) for
the cylinder so that the smallest ones remain visible; easily enough
done by hand too, of course.
Might be good to put details on how scaling works in the docs -- perhaps
I missed them.
Thanks a lot!
