%Inputs:  u (eastward component of velocity), v (northward component of velocity)
%data_scale (some scaling factor of the data - increasing this number increases
%the size of the whiskers)
%
%Program designed to plot time series current velocity data
%as "whiskers" coming off of the x-axis.  So, for each time step, a line
%is drawn off of the x axis of the proper magnitude and angle.  The y-axis
%is labeled in the units of the velocity and the x-axis is labeled in time
%units
%
%KEEP IN MIND THAT IN ORDER FOR THESE WHISKERS TO BE AT THE PROPER ANGLE
%AND MAGNITUDE, THE AXES MUST BE SET AS EQUAL (THE PLOT DOES THIS).  THIS
%IS WHY 'DATA_SCALE' AND 'PLOT_SCALE' INPUTS ARE NECESSARY:  OTHERWISE, YOU
%WILL GET A PLOT WHICH MAY BE SQUISHED IN THE X OR Y DIRECTION.  THESE ARE
%BUILT INTO THE PROGRAM
