(windrose), IDPmisc (plot.rose), climatol (rosavent), openair (windRose),
and oce (as.windrose).

Hi again,

I have tried playing around with the code given to me by Alan and Jim, thank
you for the code but unfortunately....I can't seem to get either of them to
work... Alans does not work with the sample data and Jims is giving the
error :

Error in radial.grid(labels = labels, label.pos = label.pos, radlab =
radlab,  :
  could not find function "boxed.labels"

I have also tried Rose plots in the (heR.Misc) library to to avail.

Sorry, does anyone know how to get the plots I need?

Thank you all for reading this and for your help

k.
