We attempt to provide new insights into the kinematics of narrow-line regions (NLR) in Seyfert galaxies and quasars, the understanding of which, as well as of their intrinsic 3D morphology, is still rather limited. Motivated by the rise of the integral-field spectroscopy, capable of mapping full 2D velocity fields, and by our observational projects on NLRs (see e.g. Stoklasová et al., this volume) we have developed a computer code producing 2D kinematical maps resulting from projections of various gas geometries and velocity fields.
