> Hi,
> 
> It's my first time that I am using the IDV so I am not very familiar
> with the use of IDV's formulas and  libraries. I am trying to plot
> the direction (degrees) of ocean wave that I've got as a gridded file
> (grib2 from NCEP) and I'd like to plot as vectors. I have already read
> the thread ((IDV #VIH-663165) plotting wave direction vectors) but no
> luck. Probably I have trouble adding and save the formula (that it's
> mentioned in the above thread), and how to use.
