% This script allows the user to specify a current

% directed out of the page (+z direction) that lies on the origin,
% is assumed infinite, and points in the z direction
% and plot the vector magnetic field in the xy-plane

%
% inputs: I (value of the curent), x and y limits of the plot
% outputs: the magnetic field vector plot
clear

% prompt user for input materials
