Arrowhead

25 Feb 2004 (Updated 23 Jun 2008)

arrowh draws a solid 2D arrow head into the current plot.

File Information

Description

This little program allows you to draw a solid arrow head (a triangle) into the current plot to indicate a direction on a line.

I wrote this little program mainely for use in phase plane plots (screenshot), when you want to indicate what direction a trajectory is run throught.

The m-file contains a detailed help.
