Looking at your script you do indeed set cthick to 1, but then two
lines later you set cthick to 9:<br>
<br>
'set cthick 1 '<br>
'set ccols 1'<br>
'set cthick 9'<br>
<br>
The second time when you set it to 9 it overrides the first, so
that's why your vectors are so thick.<br>

I am actually using set csthick 1 , but are not giving me the
desired results. I tried what was suggested here but could
achieve desired results...see my script...see also the figure
attached that is produced with vectors not looking nice<br>
<br>
</div>
Examples of the vectors I wanted to look like are attached in
the sample paper(Figs 4 and 12)<br>

thickness use 'set cthick 1', you area using set cthick 9<br>
<br>
about smoothing you could use smth9 (smooth with 9 points):<br>
'd smth9(u);smth9(v)'<br>
<br>
or try hxout stream<br>
