D3 JS script to draw a wind arrow

d3.windArrow.js

/* Creates a wind arrow for display in station model */
/* The default size of the arrow is: width = 8, height = 2.
The size is then given by the @arrowWidth parameter.
The canvas is a square of 2*arroWidth.
The arrow is drawn in the center of the square and rotated to the corresponding angle (@direction).

thanks!

this is awesome thank you!!
