Hi,
I wonder if there's an easy way to plot wind fields (e.g. wind barbs)
on a geographical map when my 2d field is irregular (my lon/lat grid
does not have fixed lon/lat increments). The standard procedures I
found in IDL all seem to require a regular system (X and Y being
vectors, not 2D arrays). Any hints?

Windbarb probably needs to be updated to use Coyote Graphics
routines. I think it was written in the good ol' days when
people still thought in terms of indexed color. ;-)
Cheers,
