All, Your help with this is greatly appreciated! I'm working with the vectorplot function in rasterVis to produce wind vector maps (pretty much like the code in here - https://rpubs.com/alobo/vectorplot), but I was wondering about a legend. The vectors that vectorplot produces are wonderful. What I'm trying to do is get a scale legend to go with it. In other words, have a vector outside the main plot which provides a point of reference for the vectors in the plot. Something alike to what GrADS does (for those familiar), is what I'm hoping to get to (for an example, the first chart on this page http://www.wishingwork.com/grads/graphics-controls/vector-graphics.html) I haven't seen this done yet with R, at least not from what I could find with all the forums. If anyone has an idea on how to do this, I tremendously appreciate it! Thanks all!

Hi Adrienne, I'm not sure if this will help, but lengthKey in the plotrix package will display a scale showing the relationship of vector length to whatever numeric value is being displayed. However, you do have to sort of the scaling manually.

Jim, Thanks! Interestingly when working with lengthKey it gives me an error that plot.new hasn't been called after the plot has been created with vectorplot. Really bizarre to me.
