Dear Ferreters,
I overlaid multiple VECTOR/ASPECT plots of a single velocity field and accidentally plotted the same vectors twice. To my surprise they had different angles!
If you look at the arrows at z = 95.74 m in the attached plot, the blue and red arrows are supposed to be identical but they are very different. (The nearest data points are at 84.2 m and 108.00 m, which are far enough from 95.74 m we are looking at.) Both are plotted with ASPECT. The sample script and data are also attached.
I also wonder about a totally peripheral issue. I thought PPL WINDOW,OFF refers to the plotting area. But the attached script and plot suggest that the window-edge truncation is carried out according to the box of x=X1:X2/z=Z1:Z2 rather than the axes. The blue arrows are truncated at z=300m. I would think truncating graphics elements at the edges of x= and z= isn't very intuitive.
I use
