Yes, that is, I have been computing with local coordinate system. > That means that PLplot will have to keep track of this more general > coordinate system. Isn't it simpler to convert the components from > the curve coordinate system to the cartesian plotting coordinates? When I'm computing and then plot the vectors with local coordinate system, do we have to convert the vector component to plot the vectors along local coordinate under plplot?
