I have 3d vectors which I would like to plot in 3d space. I have a 4th parameter that specifies the characteristics of this 3d vector. Now I want to use color to specify this 4th dimension. I want to plot using quiver because i would like to see the arrow head.

Well, the function is only 15 lines long, so shouldn't take too long to figure out. I'd change it to return q instead of n (which is a useless dummy-variable set to one.). That would give you the handles to the quivers as a variable. Then this example modified from the help of quiver3 seems to work OK:
[x,y] = meshgrid(-2:.2:2,-1:.15:1);
z = x .* exp(-x.^2 - y.^2);
[u,v,w] = surfnorm(x,y,z);
quiver3_c(x,y,z,u,v,w,x); hold on, surf(x,y,z), hold off
colorbar
caxis
% Returns:
% -0.4208 0.4208
% Let's modify it to the range of x:
caxis([min(x(:)),max(x(:))])
