Re: can't plot vectors

Adam,

Thanks for help, I've tried to change those values , and I even succeeded to
cut, but the problem is that the vectors are going all to the same
direction. I've also tried to not make zoom of the map, but there's no
change on vectors direction (see "vector_2"). Is there any other solution?

  vcres@vcRefMagnitudeF = 10.0 ; define vector ref mag
  vcres@vcRefLengthF = 0.00004 ; define length of vec
ref

Please help
