line vector plots

Hi,

I'm looking for the way to make vector plot over a time line. This plot, 
similar to the "feather plot" in Matlab, is a line in which every thick 
(a time value) one vector is drawn with its length proportional to one 
variable (wind speed, for example) and its direction to another (wind 
direction, for example). Any ideas?

Hi Eduardo,

You may be interested in "polar.plot" or "clock24.plot" in the plotrix 
package.

Hi Jim,

Thanks for the tip, but I really need the same polar chart but over a
line no in a circle. I didn't find it on the plotrix package.

Regards, EKS
