Arrow
2D/3D

• Arrow[axis, len] returns a graphics object representing an arrow of length len emanating from the origin of axis and pointing in the direction of axis.

• Arrow returns a list of Mathematica graphics primitives that are functions of mechanism location variables.
• The following options can be given:

• Magnitude->Relative causes the length of the arrow to be equal to len times the length of axis.
• In Modeler3D it is possible to control the rotation of the arrowhead about the axis by changing the reference direction of axis.
• See also: Edge, LocalAxes, PointLabel.

Further Examples

Load the Modeler2D package and define a simple model.

In[1]:=

Arrow is used to draw several arrows on the crank body. The absolute location of all the graphics depends on the rules returned by SolveMech.

In[2]:=

Out[2]=

Change to the Modeler3D package and define a simple model.

In[3]:=

Arrow is used to draw several 3D arrows on the crank body.

In[4]:=

Out[4]=
