Hello William, 

I was wondering how the magnitude for a plot is calculated. I assume it is the square root of the (u component)^2 and (v component)^2. However, I wonder how this is done exactly. Is it calculated per vector or per grid cell or something else? I hope you can help me. 

Kind regards,
Lieke

Hi, it is calculated per vector, then scaled up to the size of your input images, using the interpolation of your choice.
