Hello Hiro,

that means that the components of the vector are not cartesian
but based on the (local) coordinate system (or grid orientation)?

That means that PLplot will have to keep track of this more general
coordinate system. Isn't it simpler to convert the components from
the curve coordinate system to the cartesian plotting coordinates?

For instance, in the case of polar coordinates:

u = R cos phi
v = R sin phi

where R and phi are the polar components of the vector.

Regards,

Arjen
