I suggest that you look at the NCL examples page;
http://www.ncl.ucar.edu/Applications/
Then look under "Vectors"
-----------------------------------
Two ways to 'thin' vectors:
(a) As noted by Barry: use NCL array syntax. This hard-wires a specific
subset.
plotB = gsn_csm_vector(wks,u_new*(::4,:**:4)*,v_new*(::4,::4)*
,vecres)
Generally, this is
plotB = gsn_csm_vector(wks,u_new(::ny,:
:mx),v_new(::ny,::mx),vecres)
Note that 'ny' need not equal 'mx'
plotB = gsn_csm_vector(wks,u_new(::4,::2),v_new(::4,::2),vecres)
(b) If you click on "Vectors"
http://www.ncl.ucar.edu/Applications/vector.shtml
Within the top 'preamble', there is the comment:
Important resources for controlling the length, *density,* direction, and
style of vectors:
*[snip]*
*vcMinDistanceF*
<http://www.ncl.ucar.edu/Document/Graphics/Resources/vc.shtml#vcMinDistanceF>
- *set to small value to thin the vectors*. <%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
Then, click on "resources" at the top of the page and search for
"vcMinDistanceF". This will show you all the examples that use this
resource.
This is an 'even better' way to thin vectore.
