There is a way cool module at the IAC called "show flow", courtesy
of Phil McDonald (NOAA/ERL/Forecase Systems Lab) which has no such
input restrictions (at the expense of some of the flexibility gained
by using the samplers module), does a pretty good job of generating
vector glyphs.  It is a pain in the wazoo to compile though, what
with subdirectories and libraries and what-not.

I recently used this module as part of a visualization of turbulence
in a combustion experiment (I finally get to get that pyro-tech bug
out of my system!!! ;-) ;-).  It works great.
