Working With Particles

Points: Each particle is represented by a single point. This is the fastest preview
mode and is useful for displaying the type and speed of particle motion in a system.
When selected, the Point Size parameter is revealed.

Lines: Each particle is represented by a line. This is a good preview mode to use to
analyze the vector of each particle’s motion. The length of each line is determined by
that particle’s speed, and the angle of each line equals each particle’s direction.
