matplotlib.patches.FancyArrow#

classmatplotlib.patches.FancyArrow(x,y,dx,dy,*,width=0.001,length_includes_head=False,head_width=None,head_length=None,shape='full',overhang=0,head_starts_at_zero=False,**kwargs)[source]#

Bases:Polygon

Like Arrow, but lets you set head width and head height independently.

Parameters:

x, yfloat

The x and y coordinates of the arrow base.

dx, dyfloat

The length of the arrow along x and y direction.

widthfloat, default: 0.001

Width of full arrow tail.

length_includes_headbool, default: False

True if head is to be counted in calculating the length.

head_widthfloat or None, default: 3*width

Total width of the full arrow head.

head_lengthfloat or None, default: 1.5*head_width

Length of arrow head.

shape{'full', 'left', 'right'}, default: 'full'

Draw the left-half, right-half, or full arrow.

overhangfloat, default: 0

Fraction that the arrow is swept back (0 overhang meanstriangular shape). Can be negative or greater than one.

head_starts_at_zerobool, default: False

If True, the head starts being drawn at coordinate 0instead of ending at coordinate 0.
