matplotlib.patches.Arrow   classmatplotlib.patches.Arrow(x, y, dx, dy, width=1.0, **kwargs)[source]
 
Bases: matplotlib.patches.Patch An arrow patch. Draws an arrow from (x, y) to (x + dx, y + dy). The width of the arrow is scaled by width.  Parameters 
 
xfloat


x coordinate of the arrow tail.  
yfloat


y coordinate of the arrow tail.  
dxfloat


Arrow length in the x direction.  
dyfloat


Arrow length in the y direction.  
widthfloat, default: 1


Scale factor for the width of the arrow. With a default value of 1, the tail width is 0.2 and head width is 0.6.  **kwargs

Keyword arguments control the Patch properties:   
Property Description   
agg_filter a filter function, which takes a (m, n, 3) float array and a dpi value, and returns a (m, n, 3) array

capstyle CapStyle or {'butt', 'projecting', 'round'}  
clip_box Bbox

edgecolor or ec color or None  
facecolor or fc color or None

zorder float        See also  FancyArrow

Patch that allows independent control of the head and tail properties.      get_patch_transform()[source]
 
Return the Transform instance mapping patch coordinates to data coordinates. For example, one may define a patch of a circle which represents a radius of 5 by providing coordinates for a unit circle, and a transform which scales the coordinates (the patch coordinate) by 5. 
   get_path()[source]
 
Return the path of this patch.
