GLEVEL *Grid level
GVCORD *Grid vertical coordinate
GVECT *Grid vector function
GDFILE *Grid file
GAREA *Graphics area
LINE *Line color/type/width/label
MAP *Map color/dash/width
LATLON *Line color/dash/width/label/inc
TITLE *Title color/line/title
PANEL *Panel location/color/dash/width
TEXT *Text size/font/width/hw flag
DEVICE *Graphics device
PROJ *Map projection/angles/margins
CLEAR *Clear screen flag
WIND *Wind symbol/siz/wdth/typ/hdsz
PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
GDSTREAM draws streamlines through any vector grid computed
by the grid diagnostics package. The vector grid is specified
in GVECT.
The line color, dash pattern and line width are set in LINE.
A map, title and latitude/longitude lines may also be included.
The size of the arrow heads may be controlled by specifying
the fifth value in WIND.
EXAMPLES
1. Draw streamlines through the gridded wind field at 850
mb using color 3. Add a Mercator map in color 1 and
linetype 2 and a title in color 2. Center the graphics
area on Wisconsin.
GDATTIM = last
GLEVEL = 850
GVCORD = pres
GVECT = wnd
GDFILE = ngm.grd
GAREA = wi
LINE = 3
MAP = 1/2
LATLON =
TITLE = 2
PANEL = 0

2. Clear the screen and draw the streamlines of the gradient
of the temperature. Make the arrowheads half the default
size.
GVECT = grad(tmpc)
CLEAR = yes
WIND = ////.5
