Hi Erik,
Dennis and I have developed a solution for you using wmvect. It took
some work as wmvect is a very old NCL procedure and is not the most user
friendly. I have attached the script along with the resulting plot.
Basically, what is going on is we are using datatondc to query the
taylor plot for it's NDC coordinates and corresponding matching values.
(This is needed to set the reference vector size and NDC length.) We
then use that ratio to plot the correct length of the arrow that you are
drawing.
The only limitation of this method is that you cannot panel plot your
taylor diagrams while drawing vectors on each one.
Hope that's what you were looking for.. Adam
