Arrow
Arrow[{pt1, pt2}]
is a graphics primitive that represents an arrow from 
to 
.
Arrow[{pt1, pt2}, s]
represents an arrow with its ends set back from 
and 
by a distance s.
Arrow[{pt1, pt2}, {s1, s2}]
sets back by 
from 
and 
from 
.
Arrow[curve, ...]
represents an arrow following the specified curve.
Details
- Arrow can be used in both Graphics and Graphics3D (two- and three-dimensional graphics).
- The following curve specifications can be used in Graphics:
-
Line[...] piecewise line segments BezierCurve[...] composite Bezier curve BSplineCurve[...] B-spline curve JoinedCurve[...] joined curve object - The following curve specifications can be used in Graphics3D:
-
Line[...] piecewise line segments BezierCurve[...] composite Bezier curve BSplineCurve[...] B-spline curve Tube[...] tubed curve object - Arrow[Line[...]] is equivalent to Arrow[...]. Arrow[Tube[...]] yields a 3D arrow based on a tube.
- Arrow[{pt1, pt2, ...}] represents an arrow whose shaft passes through the sequence of points
. - The positions of points can be specified either in ordinary coordinates as
, or in scaled coordinates as Scaled[{x, y}] or using ImageScaled or Offset. » - The shaft of the arrow consists of a sequence of straight segments joining the specified points.
- Arrow[{pt1, pt2}] is drawn by default with its tail at
and its head at 
. - The form, orientation, and position of arrowheads can be specified by an Arrowheads directive. »
- Graphics directives such as RGBColor or Thickness apply to both the shaft and arrowhead elements of an arrow. »
- You can prevent directives from applying to an arrowhead by including explicit directives within the graphic used to specify the arrowhead.
- In Arrow[{pt1, pt2}, s] the setback distance s is measured in the ordinary coordinate system of the whole graphic, so that the arrow will just touch Disk[pti, s]. »
- If the whole graphic does not have AspectRatio->Automatic, then a specified arrow setback may correspond to different distances in different directions in the graphic.
