; vector.pro
; vector plotting routine 
; see http://cgam.nerc.ac.uk/graphics/idl.php for more details

; Calling procedure:
; VECTOR, U, V, X, Y
; U and V are the vector components as two dimensional arrays.
; X and Y are the vectors locations as one dimensional arrays.
;
; Optional parameters:
; LENGTH: Length of the vector, default=1 which is 300 pixels.
; OVERPLOT: Set this to overplot the current graphics plot.
; STRIDE: Pick every nth vector for plotting.
; TYPE:   Type of arrow head. 0-4, default=0
; ANGLE:  Angle of vector head in degrees, default=22.5.
; HEAD_LEN: Length of the arrow head relative to shaft, default=0.3
; ALIGN:  Alignment of arrow.  Default is 0.5, range=0.0 to 1.0.
; REF_MAG: Arrow magnitude.
; REF_POS: Position for reference vector in normalised coordinates [x,y].
; REF_TEXT: Text to place to the left of the reference vector.
; COLOR: Color index of vectors
