I've written some GrADS function for plotting directories in the way you've
desired, but this is long ago, I think it was 1994/1995.

What I still remember (because I wasn't familar to C at this time) is that the
data must be available in the stream format (what Fortran doesn't offer).

If you need more informations I need to have a look to my old functions.
However, I don't know if I can still find anything. You'll here from
tomorrow, or next week on Monday.
