This kind of plot is called a "stick plot" in the Ferret documentation.
The plot style looks similar to your figure, but does not have arrow
heads on the vector lines. Here is an example:
yes? use monthly_navy_winds
yes? set region/x=180/y=0
yes? plot/set uwnd,vwnd
yes? ppl plotuv
Here is a message from the Users' List archives which gives
another example and more details about using the VECTOR
command for this kind of plot.

dear ferret users How does ferret plot the vector's time series file? like what shows in the following attachment,i.e.horizontal coordinate is time,vertical coordinate is U(U=sqrt(u*u+v*v)). thank you very much. Led_rs@scsio.ac.cn 2003-10-22
