.. _ex-vector-mne-solution:
============================================
Plotting the full vector-valued MNE solution
============================================
The source space that is used for the inverse computation defines a set of
dipoles, distributed across the cortex. When visualizing a source estimate, it
is sometimes useful to show the dipole directions in addition to their
estimated magnitude. This can be accomplished by computing a
:class:`mne.VectorSourceEstimate` and plotting it with
:meth:`stc.plot <mne.VectorSourceEstimate.plot>`, which uses
:func:`~mne.viz.plot_vector_source_estimates` under the hood rather than
:func:`~mne.viz.plot_source_estimates`.
It can also be instructive to visualize the actual dipole/activation locations
in 3D space in a glass brain, as opposed to activations imposed on an inflated
surface (as typically done in :meth:`mne.SourceEstimate.plot`), as it allows
you to get a better sense of the underlying source geometry.
