Re: Drawing vector plot with asciii data

If meteorological wind barbs are sufficient then use

http://www.ncl.ucar.edu/Document/Functions/Built-in/wmbarb.shtml

Actually, I like this better because both the direction and magnitude
are easy to see.

You may wish to set the following

    wmsetp ("wdf", 1) ; winds are meteorological wind direction
Then loop over each vector pair

Good luck
