Hi Folks,
It looks like quiver might be able to what I want.
However, I have a few more questions. Assume the form
QUIVER( X, Y, U, V, S)
1)
I see from the on-line documentation that:
"color can be an array of colors in which case the arrows can be
colored according to another dataset."
What is an array of colors? I want to make vectors one color if an element of U is negative and another color if it is zero or positive.
2)
I want to make several plots, i.e a series of png or ps files, and have a vector with magnitude N be the same size on each plot. Is this what setting S equal to zero is supposed to accomplish?

Hi Carol,
For the first question, you could do something like
quiver(x,y,u,v,color = (v>0)*1.)
which would draw the arrows with positive v to the color corresponding
to index 1 in the colormap, and the arrows with negative v to the
color corresponding to 0. For the jet colormap, these are red and blue
respectively.
If you don't like red and blue, you could change the colors by
changing the colormap.
I tried using the "color array" to tell explicitely quiver what color
to use but I haven't been able to work it out.
Cheers,
David
