I have a serious problem.
I am plotting velocity vectors in 3D. The values that I have are very
small in comparison to the scaling system. The output that I am
getting from the code I wrote, does not show the vectors! Only small
dots....I thought it was because of the values that I have. So, I
decided to use a factor, but I cannot increase it too much because it
will not run. Finally, I decided to multiply every value in Fortran,
and then bring my data into IDL. It does not work either!!
Do you think my problem is that my xr, xy, xz is very large compared
to the values of vx, vy, vz? But, vx, vy, vz are velocity components
and the ranges correspond to location of those vectors in 3D. My goal
is mainly to show the flow paths with this vectors. How do you think
I can fix my macro?
Thank you in advance,
