One of our customers who does not have access to e-mail
network asked us to send his question to S-news group.
He is a meteorologist and is interested if someone has
developed an S-PLUS function to create a WIND ROSE  plot.

Wind Rose is a diagram that shows the distribution of wind    
direction experienced at a given location over a considerable
period, it thus shows the prevailing wind direction. The
most common form is a polar type plot consisting of a circle
from which 16 lines emanate, one for each compass point. The 
length of each line is proportional to the frequency of the
wind from that direction, with the frequency of calm conditions
entered in the center. Typically, the plot will also indicate
the range of wind speeds from each direction.

Please send me your name and number if you would like to help
out, and I will forward it to the customer.
Thanks for your support.
