Does it works on Layers with no geometry?

My layers do not have a geometry.

Yes, you need point data to start from, but then vectors can bei/are
generated from the attributes you mentioned.

from the docs ...

****It can only be used to render point data****


        12.2.2.2.6.The Vector Field Marker
        
<https://docs.qgis.org/3.10/en/docs/user_manual/style_library/symbol_selector.html?#id15>

The vector field marker is used to display vector field data such as
earth deformation, tidal flows, and the like. It displays the vectors
as lines (preferably arrows) that are scaled and oriented according
to selected attributes of data points. ****It can only be used to
render point data****; line and polygon layers are not drawn by this
symbology.

The vector field is defined by attributes in the data, which can
represent the field either by:

 *

    *cartesian*components (|x|and|y|components of the field)

 *

    or*polar*coordinates: in this case, attributes
    define|Length|and|Angle|. The angle may be measured either
    clockwise from north, or Counterclockwise from east, and may be
    either in degrees or radians.

 *

    or as*height only*data, which displays a vertical arrow scaled
    using an attribute of the data. This is appropriate for
    displaying the vertical component of deformation, for example.

The magnitude of field

Or even easier: use the "Vector Field Marker":

Hi,

Yes - you can use Geometry Generators for that. Use the
make_point() and make_line() expressions for that.

See
https://docs.qgis.org/3.10/en/docs/user_manual/style_library/symbol_selector.html?highlight=geometry%20generator#the-geometry-generator

Greetings,
Andreas

Hi,

is it possible to draw automatically a line between two points
defined
by 4 fields (x1,y1 - x2,y2) in an attributetable?

but I do not want to add a line-layer based on this table nor want to
draw the line by hand.

thanks
