How to draw an arrow with matplotlib and python

Date: 2007-01-02  |   Tags: matplotlib, python
Here is an example of how to draw an arrow with matplotlib. It should be
very easy, but I had to change the width setting so the arrow head would
not be too small. Further documentation is here:
http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/matplotlib.pylab.html#-arrow

""" arrow_ex.py
"""
from pylab import *
figure()
axes()
arrow(.1,.1,.2,.2, width=0.01)
show()
