REFVEC
REFVEC specifies the size and location on the screen of the
reference arrow using the following format:
Magnitude; x; y; text size/font/width/HW; string
Magnitude refers to the size of the reference wind arrow
to be plotted. For example, using 10.0 results in a
reference arrow of 10.0 units being plotted.
If the magnitude specified is 0, no reference arrow is plotted.
The default is 0.
The user specifies the location of the reference arrow by
entering values between 0.0 and 1.0 for x-location and y-
location. These values are normalized to the display so, for
example, the center of the display is 0.5;0.5. If no values
are entered, the reference arrow is plotted in the lower left
hand corner: 0.05;0.05.
The text attributes: size, font, width and HW flag; are
applied only to the text displayed with the reference vector.
See the TEXT help for further details on these attributes.
The string specifies the label for the reference vector. This
text may contain any keyboard character. If the string is
empty, an appropriate label will be generated.
