tres bien.

Does anyone have a smart way of using arrow3 to draw a coordinate system with 3 arrows intersecting at (0,0,0) that scales the length of the arrows like in the default box mode axes when when you plot with "axis on"

Arrow3 Version 5.0 (File Id: 14056) will hopefully address the "messes up my plots" issue. Users are encouraged to report problems directly to the author.

best arrow function, arrows heads are consistantly the same size
29 Jul 2005 Dave Cogdell

Good, useful code. One suggestion: include a concise one-page synopsis at the top of the help text that provides:
a) an exact copy of the function definition,
b) PURPOSE: a one- or two-sentence statement of, obviously, the purpose of the function - what does it do,
c) INPUT: one-line descriptions of each input variable,
d) OUTPUT: one-line descriptions of each output item (whether parameter or graphical), with defaults (if any) indicated
e) TYPICAL FUNCTION CALL: (with numerical/alpha etc. values substituted for the nargin parameters in the function definition

Saved me from writing a plotting tool to create arrows at the end of my vectors. Thanks.

this file messes up the axes and resizes my plots. but it sure comes in handy
03 Feb 2004 Tom Davis

This is my fourth attempt to respond to Aaron's problem. I am including a rating this time in hope that it will post. I fear that all four replies will someday appear, but ... There are many circumstances that will resize both the plotbox and the axes. If you email an example, Aaron, I will suggest a solution. Cheers. Tom

This function resizes my plots. It doesn't change my axes (which are always manually set), but it changes the size of my axes within the figure window.

This is an excellent program for a person who is trying to illustrate vectors in a document. The authors are to be congratulated and thanked.

Improve 2D rendering compatibility in R11, R12, and R13. This version uses ZBuffer for all 2D plots instead of OpenGL.

This version uses CData instead of FaceColor so
that shading does not affect the colors. Tom also fixed a few minor bugs
and included a new color switch
