[ncl-talk] Vector plot with 1-D coordinate data

[David Brown]

Hi Guido,
Vector plotting with 1D coordinates requires a triangular mesh
algorithm. We have code at the lower level to do this, but it has not
yet been integrated into NCL. It is a fairly major effort that will
require sustained full-time attention for a developer for awhile.
Hopefully we will be able to get to it after the next release of NCL.
Unfortunately it is not a possibility for the immediate future.
