I would agree with Mike. I don't think the definitive
3D vector application has been written yet. Just a
quick Google search on the topic quickly convinces me
it is not a trivial problem, and the fact the all vector
fields in iVector are 2D is even spookier.

On the other hand, this may be your opportunity to make
a mark in the IDL programming world! :-)

Cheers,

David
