plotting - Click in a vector plot to plot several solutions of a system of differential equations

I am aware of the Locator button and I am aware of the Equation Trekker package, but they are not what I want to use. Here is what I specifically want to know how to do, if possible. Consider the system:

\begin{align*} x'&=2x+3y\\ y'&=3x+2y \end{align*}

Create a vector plot.

A = {{2, 3}, {3, 2}};
F[x_, y_] = A.{x, y};
VectorPlot[F[x, y], {x, -4, 4}, {y, -4, 4}, Axes -> True,
 AxesLabel -> {x, y},
 VectorScale -> {0.045, 0.9, None},

 VectorPoints -> 16]

enter image description here

Now my question. What I want to be able to do is use my mouse to click a point in the vector plot and as a result, the solution trajectory will be added to the vector plot. I also want to be able to do this repeatedly, click the mouse several times and then several trajectory solutions are plotted on the vector plot starting at the clicked point initial condition.

Is this possible using Mathematica?

KGULER Suggestion: OK, gave your idea Epilog -> {vp[1], Red, PointSize[Large], Point[u]} a try:

ClearAll[a, vp, x, y]
a = {{2, 3}, {3, 2}};
vp = VectorPlot[a.{x, y}, {x, -4, 4}, {y, -4, 4}, 
   VectorScale -> {0.045, 0.9, None}, VectorPoints -> 16];

options = {PlotStyle -> Red, 
   Epilog -> {vp[[1]], Red, PointSize[Large], Point[u]}, 
   AspectRatio -> 1, Axes -> True, AxesLabel -> {"x", "y"}, 
   Frame -> True, PlotRange -> PlotRange[vp]};

Then:

Manipulate[
 z = NDSolveValue[
     Thread[{x'[t], y'[t], x[0], y[0]} == Join[a.{x@t, y@t}, #]], {x@
       t, y@t}, {t, -2, 1}] & /@ u;

 ParametricPlot[z, {t, -2, 1}, Evaluate@options], {{u, {}}, Locator, 
  Appearance -> None, LocatorAutoCreate -> All}, {z, {}, None}, 
 Paneled -> False]

But I got the following image result and the warning message: "Coordinate $CellContext`u should be a pair of numbers, or a Scaled or Offset form."

However, I still tried the PasteSnapshot and got an image with the dots, but for some reason I can't include it in this post.

So, what have I done wrong?

plotting - Filling between two spheres in SphericalPlot3D

Manipulate[ SphericalPlot3D[{1, 2 - n}, {θ, 0, Pi}, {ϕ, 0, 1.5 Pi}, Mesh -> None, PlotPoints -> 15, PlotRange -> {-2.2, 2.2}], {n, 0, 1}] I cant' seem to be able to make a filling between two spheres. I've already tried the obvious Filling -> {1 -> {2}} but Mathematica doesn't seem to like that option. Is there any easy way around this or ... Answer There is no built-in filling in SphericalPlot3D . One option is to use ParametricPlot3D to draw the surfaces between the two shells: Manipulate[ Show[SphericalPlot3D[{1, 2 - n}, {θ, 0, Pi}, {ϕ, 0, 1.5 Pi}, PlotPoints -> 15, PlotRange -> {-2.2, 2.2}], ParametricPlot3D[{ r {Sin[t] Cos[1.5 Pi], Sin[t] Sin[1.5 Pi], Cos[t]}, r {Sin[t] Cos[0 Pi], Sin[t] Sin[0 Pi], Cos[t]}}, {r, 1, 2 - n}, {t, 0, Pi}, PlotStyle -> Yellow, Mesh -> {2, 15}]], {n, 0, 1}]

plotting - Plot 4D data with color as 4th dimension

I have a list of 4D data (x position, y position, amplitude, wavelength). I want to plot x, y, and amplitude on a 3D plot and have the color of the points correspond to the wavelength. I have seen many examples using functions to define color but my wavelength cannot be expressed by an analytic function. Is there a simple way to do this? Answer Here a another possible way to visualize 4D data: data = Flatten[Table[{x, y, x^2 + y^2, Sin[x - y]}, {x, -Pi, Pi,Pi/10}, {y,-Pi,Pi, Pi/10}], 1]; You can use the function Point along with VertexColors . Now the points are places using the first three elements and the color is determined by the fourth. In this case I used Hue, but you can use whatever you prefer. Graphics3D[ Point[data[[All, 1 ;; 3]], VertexColors -> Hue /@ data[[All, 4]]], Axes -> True, BoxRatios -> {1, 1, 1/GoldenRatio}]

plotting - Mathematica: 3D plot based on combined 2D graphs

I have several sigmoidal fits to 3 different datasets, with mean fit predictions plus the 95% confidence limits (not symmetrical around the mean) and the actual data. I would now like to show these different 2D plots projected in 3D as in but then using proper perspective. In the link here they give some solutions to combine the plots using isometric perspective, but I would like to use proper 3 point perspective. Any thoughts? Also any way to show the mean points per time point for each series plus or minus the standard error on the mean would be cool too, either using points+vertical bars, or using spheres plus tubes. Below are some test data and the fit function I am using. Note that I am working on a logit(proportion) scale and that the final vertical scale is Log10(percentage). (* some test data *) data = Table[Null, {i, 4}]; data[[1]] = {{1, -5.8}, {2, -5.4}, {3, -0.8}, {4, -0.2}, {5, 4.6}, {1, -6.4}, {2, -5.6}, {3, -0.7}, {4, 0.04}, {5, 1.0}, {1, -6.8}, {2, -4.7}, {3, -1.
