ARROW (5/02/2023) Draw a line with an arrowhead.
ARROW(Start,Stop) draws a line with an arrow from Start to Stop (points should be vectors of length 2 or 3, or matrices with 2 or 3 columns), and returns the graphics handle of the arrow(s). By itself, ARROW will use the mouse to allow selection.
ARROW DEMO & ARROW DEMO2 show 3-D & 2-D demos of the capabilities of ARROW.
ARROW PROPERTIES shows the properties that can be set (length, base angle, tip angle, width, which ends have arrowheads, etc.)

Forgot to update the version date.
2.3.0.0

Add ability to use arrow(...,'Parent',axis handle)

Change output from handle double to graphics objects. Add identifiers to warning and error messages. Temporarily disable pan/zoom/rotate3d to use click-to-draw mode.

actually update the file (not just the description); correct view on demo
1.1.0.0

Replace "eval('trycmd','catchcmd')" with "try, trycmd; catch, catchcmd; end;", which break's compatibility with MATLAB 5 but improves compliance with newer versions.
