I cannot connect to the web site you gave me.
Sorry for my poor English and I did not state my question clearly.

Could you browse this web page? There is a sample figure.
I have the position data of the satellite and the magnetic field data
for each position.
For example, (posx, posy, posz) is the position of satellit and the
magneitc field data for this position is (Bx, By, Bz).
Firstly I plot the projection of the satellite trajectory in X-Y plane
by using "plot, posx, posy"
Then I want to plot the vector of magnetic field data for each point
