; NAME:
;       STATIONPLOT
;
; PURPOSE:
;
;       This is routine for drawing station plots on a map or other display.
;       Normally, this routine is used in conjunction with WINDBARB.

; CATEGORY:

;       Graphics.
;
; CALLING SEQUENCE:
;
;       StationPlot, x, y
;
; REQUIRED INPUTS:
;
;       x:            The X location of the center of the station plot, expressed in data coordinates.
;
;       y:            The Y location of the center of the station plot, expressed in data coordinates.
;
; KEYWORDS:
;
;      COLOR:         The name of the color to draw the station plot in. May be a vector
;                     the same length as X. Colors are those available in cgColor.
;
;      RADIUS:        The radius of the station plot circle in normalized coordinates.
;
; RESTRICTIONS:
;
;       Requires cgColor from the Coyote Library:

; EXAMPLE:
;
;   seed = -3L
;   lon = Randomu(seed, 20) * 360 - 180
;   lat = Randomu(seed, 20) * 180 - 90
;   speed = Randomu(seed, 20) * 100
;   direction = Randomu(seed, 20) * 180 + 90
;   Erase, cgColor('Ivory', !P.Background)
;   Map_Set, /Cylindrical,Position=[0.1, 0.1, 0.9, 0.9], Color=cgColor('Steel Blue'), /NoErase
;   Map_Grid, Color=cgColor('Charcoal', !D.Table_Size-2)
;   Map_Continents, Color=cgColor('Sea Green', !D.Table_Size-3)
;   StationPlot, lon, lat, Color='Indian Red'
