Add vectors image
=================

This example generates an image of vectors
Vector data is an array of shape (N, M, 2)
Each vector position is defined by an (x-proj, y-proj) element where
* x-proj and y-proj are the vector projections at each center
* each vector is centered on a pixel of the NxM grid
