matplotlib.patches.FancyArrow

class matplotlib.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: matplotlib.patches.Polygon

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

Parameters:
width: float, default: 0.001

Width of full arrow tail.

length_includes_head: bool, default: False

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

head_width: float or None, default: 3*width

Total width of the full arrow head.

head_length: float 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.

overhang: float, default: 0

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

head_starts_at_zero: bool, default: False

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