Dear Shaun, 1. I believe that pgfplots has support for the comb plot handler of tikz -- at least in the unstable version which is available from http://pgfplots.sourceforge.net/ . Unless I misunderstood your request, it should do what you asked for. 2. The request sounds very much like a quiver plot to me... check out the manual of the unstable pgfplots version from http://pgfplots.sourceforge.net/, it contains a section about quiver plots. Is this what you have in mind?
